Sockets Get Stream .net

[Abashai]

I have an appliction which is receiving inbound xml which it processes and writes to a database.

I am having a problem when receiving a large stream. In winsock api I would wait until the whole message was received and parse the streams together to form the file. When I try that here, I do not get the whole file.

Here is an example of the code.

Do 
                    Dim InBuff(200000) As Byte 
                    Client.GetStream().Read(InBuff, 0, InBuff.Length) 
                    txtLog.Text = txtLog.Text & vbCrLf & "[" & Now & "] >Processing incoming request." 
                    Application.DoEvents() 
                    temp = temp & System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(InBuff) 
                    temp = Trim(temp) 
 Loop Until Client.GetStream.DataAvailable = False

Sometimes I get the whole file on the first run. Could I get some he

This should work. If you need me to convert it to VB.NET, let me know...

MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();
int iRead;
byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];

while((iRead = ns.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)) > 0)
{
    m.Write(bytes, 0, iRead);
}

string output = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(m.ToArray());

Actually, I am using the TcpClient. If I say m.write it will attempt to write it back to the TCPServer I have written or am I wrong on this?

MemoryStream just acts as a temporty backing store (memory) for data. The code I posted can be substitued with your do loop..
