Poll a Socket for Available Data

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.PollDataAvailable, which performs a nonblocking check for readable activity and returns whether data or another read-ready condition is present.

bool success = false;

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

//  Connect to the server using TLS.
bool bTls = true;
int maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Perform a nonblocking check for readable data.  Returns true when data or another read-ready
//  condition is present, and false when nothing is immediately available.
bool bAvailable = socket.PollDataAvailable();
if (bAvailable != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("No data is immediately available.");
}
else {
    Debug.WriteLine("Data is available to read.");
}
