The telnet application makes use of Callback Function to recieve data from a socket in asyncronous mode.
s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
// Create New EndPoint
iep = new IPEndPoint(addr[0],port);
// This is a non blocking IO
s.Blocking = false ;
// Assign Callback function to read from Asyncronous Socket
callbackProc = new AsyncCallback(ConnectCallback);
// Begin Asyncronous Connection
s.BeginConnect(iep , callbackProc, s ) ;
BeginConnect is used to commence a non blocking connection attempt. Note, even if a non-blocking connection
is attempted, the connection will block until the machine name is resolved into an IP address,
for this reason it is better to use the IP address than the machine name if possible to avoid blocking
The ConnectCallback function is called once the connection is complete, it displays connection error if it fails or it sets up the OnRecievedData callback if connection is successful.
public void ConnectCallback( IAsyncResult ar )
{
try
{
// Get The connection socket from the callback
Socket sock1 = (Socket)ar.AsyncState;
if ( sock1.Connected ) {
// Define a new Callback to read the data
AsyncCallback recieveData = new AsyncCallback( OnRecievedData );
// Begin reading data asyncronously
sock1.BeginReceive( m_byBuff, 0, m_byBuff.Length, SocketFlags.None, recieveData , sock1 );
}
}
catch( Exception ex )
{
MessageBox.Show( this, ex.Message, "Setup Recieve callbackProc failed!" );
}
}
To begin to get you data asynchronously from the socket , it is necessary to setup an Asynchronous Callback to handle events triggered by the Socket. For eg : New data at the socket port or oss of connection. This is done using the following method;
public void OnRecievedData( IAsyncResult ar )
{
// Get The connection socket from the callback
Socket sock = (Socket)ar.AsyncState;
// Get The data , if any
int nBytesRec = sock.EndReceive( ar );
if( nBytesRec > 0 )
{
string sRecieved = Encoding.ASCII.GetString( m_byBuff, 0, nBytesRec );
