Close a Socket Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

//  Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
//  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
bool bTls = true;
int maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
socket.StringCharset = "utf-8";

//  Gracefully close the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection.  The argument is the maximum
//  number of milliseconds to wait for clean shutdown processing (0 waits indefinitely).
success = socket.Close(1000);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Connection closed.");
