Hey guys,

I am creating a small client <-> server app and when I connect to my server "telnet localhost 500" my recive code will only allow the client to enter 1 character before closing the receive connection. Any ideas why?

            Byte[] bRecive = new byte[1024];
            int i = mySocket.Receive(bRecive, bRecive.Length, 0);

            text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bRecive);

Thanks

You should receive in a loop until the receive call returns 0, indicating that the client is done.

byte [] buffer = new byte[1024];
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int bytesRead = mySocket.Receive(buffer, buffer.Length, 0)
while (bytesRead > 0)
{
    // Use the amount of data returned in this call
    sb.Append(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
    bytesRead = mySocket.Receive(buffer, buffer.Length, 0);
}
text = sb.ToString();

Thanks for the above code. I have modifiyed it to stop receving when the user presses the enter key.

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            int bytesRead = mySocket.Receive(buffer, buffer.Length, 0);
            while (bytesRead > 0)
            {
                //Use the amount of data returned in this call
                if (Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, bytesRead) == "\r\n")
                {
                    return sb.ToString();
                }
                sb.Append(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, bytesRead));
                bytesRead = mySocket.Receive(buffer, buffer.Length, 0);

            }

            return sb.ToString();

Thanks again and merry christmas
