C# Network Programming

Windows Event Programming So far in this book, all but one of the network programming examples have used the console mode in .NET. Windows console-mode programming uses a traditional structured programming model. In structured programming, p...

Using Asynchronous Sockets The Socket object contains methods that utilize the AsyncCallback class to call completion methods when the network functions are finished. This allows the application to continue processing other events while wa...

Sample Programs Using Asynchronous Sockets Now that you have studied all the pieces, it’s time to put them together and create a set of real Windows asynchronous network programs. The following two programs recreate the SimpleTcpSrvr a...

Using Non-blocking Socket Methods Asynchronous sockets have been created specifically for the Windows environment. As explained in Chapter 3, traditional Unix network programming does not use asynchronous sockets. Instead, programs contain...

Summary This chapter discusses how to use network functions in the Windows graphically oriented programs—an environment that is different from the traditional Unix programming environment because it supports an event programming model....
