You should use Socket. Shutdown() and then Socket. Close(). Socket.
Conceptually, a server socket listens on a known port. When an incoming connection arrives, the listening socket creates a new socket (the “child” socket), and establishes the connection on the child socket.
Socket addresses An application can communicate with a remote process by exchanging data with TCP/IP by knowing the combination of protocol type, IP address, and port number. This combination is often known as a socket address. It is the network-facing access handle to the network socket.
I have a server that listens for a connection on a socket:
public class Server { private Socket _serverSocket; public Server() { _serverSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); _serverSocket.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 1234)); _serverSocket.Listen(1); } public void Start() { _serverSocket.BeginAccept(HandleAsyncConnectionMethod, null); } public void Stop() { //????? MAGIC ????? } //... rest of code here } What is the correct (clean) way to close down the socket?
Is it sufficient to call:
_serverSocket.Disconnect(true); in the Stop() method? or is there other work that needs to happen to close the connection cleanly?
