TCP Connection Status

[simon ong]

Hi:
I'm trying to find out if anyone know how to check the current status of TCP connection? I'm using C#.

If I have a TCPclient waiting to connect to a TCPlistener, half way during the connection, somehow the connection dropped or Tcplistener having a problem or accidentally shut down, how would i know the TCPclient status is the latest? I could not use TCPclient.connected status as it is only true for connection for the first time. If I used Socket.connected, it is the same as TCPclient.connected.

Can some one tell me how to do this? VB6 winsocks always provided the winsock connection status. how about .NET?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand your question. What status are you looking to retrieve? The Connected property tells you if it is connected or not, but since that is not enough...what are you missing?

Ah, Yes, Have you ever try this:

a) Let both Client and Server connected.

b) Then Shut the Server down.

c) The Client.Connected property will stayed True. Which is not correct.

I tried many many times. That why I asked this question. If you compared with VB6, I can verify the current connection status continously.

May be I'm wrong. Can you share how you managed the status in C#?

Thanks
