Receive an Exact Number of Bytes into a BinData

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBdN, which receives exactly the requested number of bytes and appends them to a BinData, continuing until the full count is satisfied.

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;
}

//  MaxReadIdleMs controls the inactivity limit for receiving.  The ReceiveBdN call will fail if
//  incoming bytes halt for longer than this many milliseconds before the full amount is received.
socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 15000;

//  Receive exactly the requested number of bytes, appending them to a BinData.  The method continues
//  receiving until the full count is satisfied or a failure occurs.
Chilkat.BinData bd = new Chilkat.BinData();
success = socket.ReceiveBdN(256,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Received " + Convert.ToString(bd.NumBytes) + " bytes.");
