How do I do an AcceptAsync of a socket with a timeout?

Question

Here is what I have now:

Socket myNewSocket = currentSocket.Accept();

Here is what I want:

Socket myNewSocket = AcceptWithTimeo         


        

Answer 1

You could do a BeginAccept and then have a timer that closes the socket to cancel the accept operation. Usually, though, servers just keep an asynchronous accept operation going constantly.
