System.InValid Cast Exception -Pls guide

[Rahils573]

Hello everybody:
I am creating a client server application Asynchronously. I am adding the asynchrous socket to the hashtable.

IAsyncResult asyncSkt = m_socListener.BeginAccept(new AsyncCallback(OnClientConnect), null);
sockettable.Add(connectId, asyncSkt);

Now I want to access the connectId from the hashtable.

Socket socket = ( Socket)sockettable[connectId];

But I am getting System.InValidCastException... Can anyone tell me what is the problem?

so here, you get an IAsyncResult reference:

IAsyncResult asyncSkt = m_socListener.BeginAccept(new AsyncCallback(OnClientConnect), null); 

here you add your IAsyncResult reference to a hashtable:

sockettable.Add(connectId, asyncSkt); 

and then finally you try to cast an IAsyncResult reference to a Socket:

Socket socket = ( Socket)sockettable[connectId]; 

You end up with an InvalidCastException because you can't cast an IAsyncResult to a Socket. Maybe reading up on asynchronous programming willhelp you out.
