Receive a Single Byte from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveByte, which reads exactly one byte and stores its numeric value in the ReceivedInt property. The argument selects signed or unsigned interpretation.

    //  interprets the byte as unsigned (0 through 255); FALSE interprets it as signed.
