2. Why do you create the HandleClientRequest class instead of just parsing the request within the same class?

   ie:

   Private Sub OnClientConnect(asyn As IAsyncResult)
   Try
   Dim clientSocket As TcpClient = Nothing
   _clientSocket = _listener.EndAcceptTcpClient(asyn)
   _networkStream = _clientSocket.GetStream()
   WaitForRequest()
   Catch se As Exception
   End Try

   WaitForClientConnect()
   End Sub

   Private Sub WaitForRequest()
   Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(_clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize – 1) {}

   Try
   _networkStream.BeginRead(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, AddressOf ReadCallback, buffer)
   Catch ex As Exception
   End Try

   End Sub

   Private Sub ReadCallback(result As IAsyncResult)
   Dim networkStream As NetworkStream = _clientSocket.GetStream()

   Try
   Dim read As Integer = networkStream.EndRead(result)
   If read = 0 Then
   _networkStream.Close()
   _clientSocket.Close()
   Return
   End If

   Dim buffer As Byte() = TryCast(result.AsyncState, Byte())
   Dim data As String = Encoding.[Default].GetString(buffer, 0, read)

   ‘do the job with the data here
   RaiseEvent ioReceived(data)

   ‘send the data back to client.
   ‘Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(“Processed ” + data)
   ‘networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
   ‘networkStream.Flush()
   Catch ex As Exception

   End Try

   Me.WaitForRequest()
   End Sub

   • Hi,
     As I said it’s a multi client TCP server, if I handle the request in the same class then I may need to queue the request. Think about a scenario that the server receives request from more than one client at the same time, then how the server will able to cater the request as he is busy processing the request he picked thus by blocking one client. Or we need to queue the request. I felt this approach is good for my scenario rather than implementing a queue. Hope I clarify your question.

3. What can you do if the Server needs to broadcast a message to a specific connected client?

   • One option I can think of is, queue HandleRequest instance created in TCPServer->OnClientConnect with some identifier to uniquely identify the client. Whenever we want to send any data back to client, get the specific HandleRequestInstance from the queue and tell him to send the data. You may need to add some code as shown below in HandleRequest class.

     public void BroadCast(string message)
     {
     NetworkStream networkStream = _clientSocket.GetStream();
     Byte[] sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message);
     networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length);
     networkStream.Flush();
     }

     I haven’t tried this option consider it as pseudo code.

     Hope it will help you.

4. I implemented this example and it stops running after some time. I connected 5 clients to a server and pipe messages from each client at 200 ms. 5 messages per second from each client. After running for about 4 hours all communication stopped. Any ideas?

   • The code is problematic since it relies on the receive buffer size, as the size of a message. The code then attempts to decode the message, which might not be a valid sequence of bytes suitable for string-decoding.
     This is wrong, and will cause exactly this behavior, where the code works on one machine (usually the dev’s machine), and fail on other.

     There’re 2 solutions to this:
     1. The client and server should instead either agree in advance on a fixed message size. The server should then read exactly the agreed amount of bytes and treat them as a single message.
     2. Alternatively, every message should include in its first (say) 4 bytes, its size. The server then reads 4 bytes, constructs an int, and knows how many more bytes to read.

     • Your points are valid Yaakov. In my scenario we have a predefined end of string, so the server keeps on read the stream until it receives the EOS. Thus I can avoid a predefined buffer size. If we don’t have a predefined EOS then we have to go with your approach.

       Thanks for your valid comments.

6. I found a problem in the code. When A client disconnects an exception will be thrown here

   public void WaitForRequest()
   {
   byte[] buffer = new byte[_clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize];

   _networkStream.BeginRead(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, ReadCallback, buffer);
   }

   This function should be

   public void WaitForRequest()
   {
   if (clientSocket.Connected)
   {
   byte[] Buffer = new Byte[clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize];
   _networkStream.BeginRead(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length, new AsyncCallback(ReadCallback), Buffer);
   }
   else
   {
   // Fire custom event letting the server class know the connection has closed
   ConnectionClosed(m_GUID, m_Client);
   clientSocket.Close();
   _networkStream.Close();
   }
   }

7. I Also noticed that when you flood the server with messages it cant respond quick enough. It will get several message before it responds to the server. I am sending a message every 200ms from each client to the server. Here is a screenshot

   http://brownspy.com/Downloads/Messages.bmp

   Here is the ReadCallback function

   private void ReadCallback(IAsyncResult Ar)
   {
   try
   {
   NetworkStream Stream = m_Client.GetStream();

   int Read = Stream.EndRead(Ar);
   if (Read == 0)
   {
   m_Stream.Close();
   m_Client.Close();
   return;
   }

   byte[] Buffer = Ar.AsyncState as Byte[];
   string Data = Encoding.Default.GetString(Buffer, 0, Read);
   string[] Address = m_Client.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString().Split(‘:’);
   Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() + ” – Data Received from Client (” + Address[0] + “): ” + Data);

   byte[] Ack = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(“ACK: ” + Data);
   Stream.Write(Ack, 0, Ack.Length);
   Stream.Flush();
   Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() + ” – Ack sent to client”);

   WaitForRequest();
   }
   catch (Exception Ex)
   {
   MessageBox.Show(“Message: ” + Ex.Message + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + Ex.StackTrace.ToString());
   }
   }

   Any and all help will be appreciated,

   • if multiple clients send request to server. Then server creates handlers for each request and responding to client request is handlers responsibility. Handler will respond to client when ever it finishes the request and that may not be instantaneous. Server will continue receiving further request, even though handlers are processing several other request. I don’t find any issue with it.

     • How can I implement this such that each message sent by the Clients, the client will not send another message until the server Ack’s the message?

     • I actually got a solution for only sending one message at a time and waiting for an ack that the receiving end got the message ok before sending another message.

        I want to implement this scenario

        the server Liston on a port and two client connect to it and they send their IDs to server
        server itself has ID it should receive Client IDs and see if it has the minimum ID update its UI (for example text box.text to “Leader””

        I’ve considered an array of length 3 and put server ID to its zero index and when server receive clients’ IDs in “ReadClallBack” method it set index 0 and 1 of the array and see if it is leader among it and two clients and try to update text box.text.

    But I had a issue when call function _listener.Stop(); This make sense that I want to open socket on other IP address or Port.

    It looks like that all resources relating to the thread has not released, or disposed. Consequently, a exception rising.

    How do I can stop a running tcplistener?

    (just next line of networkStream.Flush(); )

    then the exception disappeared, but I’m not sure it’s the right way to solve the problem or not……

    (Or can you give me some advice to solve the problem correctly)

    Since the exception doesn’t often occurs, I try to trigger the exception by the steps:

    1. open server side

    2. client connect to server

    3. shut down network of the server

    4. the exception occurs

    Just like if there is any accident that server side cannot get return ACK of client side…

    Sorry for old replying and poor English, and thanks in advance!

    • Hi,
      you can update the UI on HandleClientRequest.ReadCallback().

19. Hello again!

    Is it possible test the connection of the client closed?

    I find the code that useful for others:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1387459/how-to-check-if-tcpclient-connection-is-closed
    (from stackoverflow)

    TcpClient client = new TcpClient(host, port);

    IPGlobalProperties ipProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
    TcpConnectionInformation[] tcpConnections = ipProperties.GetActiveTcpConnections().Where(x => x.LocalEndPoint.Equals(client.Client.LocalEndPoint) && x.RemoteEndPoint.Equals(client.Client.RemoteEndPoint)).ToArray();

    if (tcpConnections != null && tcpConnections.Length > 0)
    {
    TcpState stateOfConnection = tcpConnections.First().State;
    if (stateOfConnection == TcpState.Established)
    {
    // Connection is OK
    }
    else
    {
    // No active tcp Connection to hostName:port
    }

    }

    I have tried but it’s in vain for me, and even use Ping class( for test the network of client is on or off) but this is worse that my computer even crash……

    So, could you give me some advice or direction about that or is it truly impossible( just because .Net framework)?

    Thanks in advanced!

    • Finally, I use timer to do the trick!

      I use System.Timers.Timer to dynamically create a timer, and there is a list( int id, string IP, int tick in a custom class) for each client connection.

      So each time the client connect to the server,
      ( It’s easy use string clientIP = ((IPEndPoint)clientSocket.Client.RemoteEndPoint).Address.ToString(); in OnClientConnect(IAsyncResult asyn))
      check for there is the clientIP in the list or not?
      If there is, just set 0 to the clientIP( if(list[i].IP==clientIp) list[i].tick=0)
      else add new clientIP to the list.

      Then, in the ElapsedEvent of the timer, check all IP in the list( because the IP of the list is which have connecting the server) and the tick of each other.
      If the tick is bellow 3( the interval of my timer is 1000, so I want to wait 3 seconds for each client) then just do the increment.
      else set the status of the clientIP to false( use an Array or List to record or refresh your UI).

      The result is if the clientIP still connect to the server, the tick of it will reset to 0, or the timer will set it to 3 and tag it as disconnect.

      Another problem should be improved is remove the IP in the list carefully( or you may get Array out of index exception).

      Maybe there is another method better than this way, still appreciated for suggestion.

21. Simple and efficient server! Thank you so much.
    But it can receive only 8192 bytes (_tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize).
    When I tried to send a text file of 300 KB, it receives only the first 8192 bytes then it hangs.
    What code should I add to the handler so it can read large data?

    • you could try increasing

      _clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize

      you can increase the value in the constructor of HandleClientRequest

    • I never had any issues running this system in WinForm.

      The data you received from below line
      string data = Encoding.Default.GetString(buffer, 0, read);

      in ReadCallback() can be displayed in a text box. Some thing like

      Text1.Text=data;
