Concurrent connections in C# socket
- by Chu Mai
There are three apps run at the same time, 2 clients and 1 server. The whole system should function as following:
The client sends an serialized object to server then server receives that object as a stream, finally the another client get that stream from server and deserialize it.
This is the sender:
TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient();
tcpClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8888);
Stream stream = tcpClient.GetStream();
BinaryFormatter binaryFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();
binaryFormatter.Serialize(stream, event); // Event is the sending object
tcpClient.Close();
Server code:
TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 8888);
listener.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Server is running at localhost port 8888 ");
while (true)
{
Socket socket = listener.AcceptSocket();
try
{
Stream stream = new NetworkStream(socket);
// Typically there should be something to write the stream
// But I don't knwo exactly what should the stream write
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.Message);
Console.WriteLine("Disconnected: {0}", socket.RemoteEndPoint);
}
}
The receiver:
TcpClient client = new TcpClient();
// Connect the client to the localhost with port 8888
client.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8888);
Stream stream = client.GetStream();
Console.WriteLine(stream);
when I run only the sender and server, and check the server, server receives correctly the data. The problem is when I run the receiver, everything is just disconnected. So where is my problem ? Could anyone point me out ? Thanks
