Please see code below, it is not very stable in my windows service, after starting for a while, it throw the error:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond
The error was catched on : readsize = listensocket2.Receive(buffer_receive);
The project is on a data communication center, the clients are GPRS DTU socket client.
Please help!!!

The problem is that server read only first message , each next message is not received by server . The tcpClient is connected , but server doesn't receive any message . Could anyone suggest what is wrong with my code ?
In ReadCallback, you don't start the next read - so yes, your code only reads once.
Adding
handler.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, state.buffer.Length, 0, ReadCallback, state);
to the bottom of ReadCallback (when bytesRead > 0) should work. However! You aren't implementing proper framing, so you should be very cautious of that. A basic framing implementation for a text-based protocol (like this) would be to use some kind of line-end sentinel, and buffer data until you see a line-end, then process the line.
On TCP, you are only guaranteed to get the right bytes in the right order (or a failed socket eventually) - you are not guaranteed to get them in the same composition in terms of calls to Send exactly matching calls to Receive in terms of the numbers of bytes in each.
I created two projects one with client and other with server to exchange text between both of them;on same computer i run those exe.
MY Client Side Connection Code connection looked :
using (SocketClient sa = new SocketClient(host, port))

while on server side code looks like that:

Console.WriteLine("Server listening on port {0}.

Console.Read();

I have already port forward of my router because of server side exe which didn't listen without port forwarding.
it is working fine with send and receive on same pc and same port at home.
While when i try to run both of codes exe on my office computer it throws exception at following line:
Exception thrown by socket
Could any one guide me whats the problem and how to resolve it ?
Thanks
Have you tried temporary disable your Windows firewall ?
I write an Windows C# application which can create up to 16 threads. Each thread creates a socket for a remote device. Each thread send commands to read the device status. (every 300 ms) It is OK when I create one or two threads to read the status. But when I create 10 threads to read device status, I will get wrong data in the socket receive buffer.
Please refer to the following for my socket driver code:
class SocketClient {
private IPAddress ipAddress;
private IPEndPoint remoteEP;
private Socket mSocket;
private SocketAsyncEventArgs e = new SocketAsyncEventArgs();
private System.Timers.Timer timer_connection;
private static byte[] response = new byte[1024];
private Boolean waittingConnectDone;
private Boolean boolConnected;
public SocketClient() {
}
private byte[] acknowledge = null;
public Boolean Connect(String IP, int Port) {
Boolean bRet = true;
ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse(IP);
remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, Port);
mSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
//mSocket.ReceiveTimeout = GlobalVar.ethernet_timeout;
mSocket.ReceiveTimeout = 500;
try {
waittingConnectDone = false;
e.RemoteEndPoint = remoteEP;
e.UserToken = mSocket;
e.Completed += new EventHandler<SocketAsyncEventArgs>(e_Completed);
mSocket.ConnectAsync(e);
if (timer_connection != null) {
timer_connection.Dispose();
} else {
timer_connection = new System.Timers.Timer();
}
timer_connection.Interval = 2000;
timer_connection.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_connection_Tick);
timer_connection.Start();
while (true) {
if (waittingConnectDone)
break;
Application.DoEvents();
}
bRet = boolConnected;
//sender.Connect(remoteEP);
} catch {
Debug.WriteLine("### Ethernet ### Connection Error!");
bRet = false;
}
return bRet;
}
private void e_Completed(object sender, SocketAsyncEventArgs e) {
boolConnected = true;
waittingConnectDone = true;
}
private void timer_connection_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!mSocket.Connected) {
timer_connection.Stop();
boolConnected = false;
waittingConnectDone = true;
}
}
public void Disconnect() {
try {
mSocket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);
mSocket.Close();
} catch {
}
}
Each Thread use following code to read the device status:
private byte[] acknowledge = null;
private static byte[] response = new byte[1024];
public byte[] sendCommand(byte[] Cmp_TxData) {
try {
bytesSent = mSocket.Send(Cmp_TxData);
bytesRec = mSocket.Receive(response);
acknowledge = new byte[bytesRec];
Array.Copy(response, 0, acknowledge, 0, bytesRec);
}
catch
{
acknowledge = null;
}
return acknowledge;
}
And the buffer data error is something like following:
TX --> 00-03-01-F4-00-03-44-14
RX <-- 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
Sometime I read correct data, but sometimes the data are all 0!
Is there anything wrong with my socket driver?
Really appreciate your help!!
I have not checked all of the posted code (I suspect there may be more errors, multithreading is hard if you try to do it all yourself), but this line:
private static byte[] response = new byte[1024];
Is definitely a source for the types of errors you report. This line declares a buffer that is shared between all threads.
So if multiple threads do this:
bytesRec = mSocket.Receive(response);
The data in this response buffer can be concurrently modified.
To resolve this specific error, you could ensure that you create a static buffer for each thread using [ThreadStatic] or ThreadLocal (see for example http://reedcopsey.com/2009/11/12/thread-specific-data-becomes-easier-in-net-4-0-via-threadlocalt/).
I wrote a TCP Socket server and client a few months ago in my current project and they've been working flawlessly since then. But as of today I simply cannot get a connection between two machines that has been communicating without a hickup for a long time.
The setup is very straight forward: Two machines ('A' and 'B') are connected directly via an ethernet cable (no switch in between). Machine 'A' is also connected to my home network which allows for Internet access. Machine 'B' is only connected to 'A'. I am running the TCP server on 'B' and the client on 'A'.
I'm using the asynchronous .NET Socket features (BeginAccept etc on the server end and BeginConnect etc in the client end). Having debugged both ends I can only confirm that the server end never seems to get a call from the client. I haven't touched the code and it still works between other machines.
Also, there's no other comms problems between the two machines. I'm using Input Director to share one set of keyboard/mouse and normal UNC paths works fine to browse one machine from the other.
I have tested different ports and I've brought down the firewalls on both sides for good measure. I have released/renewed the connections on both sides, rebooted both machines and every other dummy option I can think of.
I confess I'm not terribly network savvy so I'd very much appreciate a few hints on what to look for next as I'm now out of ideas on what to check next. (I'm pretty sure it's gotta be something really stupid I've just overlooked. ;O)
EDIT (sample 'spike' code)
On request I adapted Microsoft's sample Socket code and compressed it a bit (below). I then tested running both server and client ends on machine 'B' which worked fine but on machine 'A' the same thing happened. The client got no contact with the server end. Here's the code:

You're using nonblocking I/O which leads to a loop (at least) in your client
while (this.keepRunning) {...}
which is consuming all your CPU resources by busy waiting.
You should consider to use blocking I/O or Socket.Select
Look at the first remark here
Details about select
One thing to note is that you never SET IsStarted .. you only GET it ._. Maybe you're spawning hundreds of threads =/ I'm talking about the TCPServerEndPoint class =/
Yes, you are busy waiting for a connection. I don't know socket programming so I can't give you details, but what you need to do is wait for a connection using the blocking system call.
I solved the issue after modifying the Process method of TCPServerWorker.cs
here is the changes
private void Process()
{
if (client.Connected == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("Client connected :: {0}", client.Client.RemoteEndPoint);
Byte[] bytes = new Byte[MAX_TCP_DATA];
String data = null;
NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
int i;
try
{
// Loop to receive all the data sent by the client.
while ((i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)) != 0)
{
// bytes contains received data in byte[].
// Translate data bytes to a UTF-8 string.
byte[] receivedBuffer = new byte[i];
Array.Copy(bytes, receivedBuffer, i);
data = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(receivedBuffer);
Console.WriteLine("Received MSG ::: " + data);
// Process the data sent by the client.
byte[] msg = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
// Send back a response.
stream.Write(msg, 0, msg.Length);
CommEventArgs comEventArg = new CommEventArgs();
comEventArg.data = receivedBuffer;
IPEndPoint remoteIPEndPoint = (IPEndPoint)client.Client.RemoteEndPoint;
comEventArg.srcAddress = remoteIPEndPoint.Address.ToString();
comEventArg.srcPort = remoteIPEndPoint.Port;
comEventArg.length = i;
this.OnDataReceived(comEventArg);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception : " + ex.Message);
}
finally
{
client.Close();
}
}
}
