beginread

Please excuse my lack of knowledge regarding Tasks and Async. Using the TcpClient class I am creating a connection with an available server: void async RunClientAsync() { TcpClient client = new TcpClient(); try { await client.ConnectAsync(IPAddress.Parse("1.1.1.1"), 8889); Task.Start(() => ReadClientAsync(client)); } catch (Exception ex) { HandleException(ex); } } // ----- void async ReadClientAsync(TcpClient client) { byte[] bf = new byte[2048]; try { while(true) { int br = await client.NetworkStream().ReadAsync(); if (br > 0) { HandleInboundData(bf, br); } } } catch (Exception ex) {

i need to read data from my virtual com port and detect the message "Dreq". Once i press the connect button, it connects to my COM8 port and begins reading in a new thread. I also have a disconnect button in which i wish to close the reading and disconnect from the COM8 port. However, i have problems closing the BeginRead. public partial class Form1 : Form { SerialPort sp; Stream stream; IAsyncResult recv_result; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { sp = new SerialPort("COM8", 9600); sp.Open(); sp.ReadTimeout = 50000; sp.NewLine = "\n\r\0"; stream = sp.BaseStream; recv

I'm using a NetworkStream & TcpClient to asynchronously receive data using BeginRead. I need to apply a time-out to this operation, such that after a specified amount of time the read will be aborted. As far as I'm able to tell, this isn't supported on NetworkStream or TcpClient - there is a ReceiveTimeout property, but this appears to only apply to the synchronous equivalent - 'Read'. Even the underlying Socket class doesn't appear to support timeouts in its BeginReceive method. I've searched on this issue and the only suggested resolution I've seen is to set up another background thread to
