Multithreading

-KEN- · 06-08-2003, 09:17 AM

I'm trying to do a simple server with the TcpListener class, and I'm using multithreading to handle the accept()'ing. Of course, that's sort of a hangover from C++ Winsock habits (I never could get a handle on asychronous sockets).

Anyway, my code looks like this:

Code:

void startClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	server.Start();
			
	Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Listen));

}

public void Listen()
{
	Socket accept;
	while(true)
	{	accept = server.AcceptSocket();
				
	         listBox.Items.Add(accept.RemoteEndPoint);
	 }
}

where startClick() is generated when the user clicks a button on the form to begin the server.

For some reason the thread is never generated, and the Listen() function is never called.

Also, is working with asynchronous sockets any easier in C# if so, maybe I should just do that...

Your program is fine, I'm having the exact same lines in some of mine... you are just missing one line:

Code:

void startClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	server.Start();
			
	Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Listen));

                thread.Start(); // !!! ;-)
}

public void Listen()
{
	Socket accept;
	while(true)
	{
	accept = server.AcceptSocket();
				
	         listBox.Items.Add(accept.RemoteEndPoint);
	 }
}
