Receive a 16-bit Integer from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveInt16, which reads exactly two bytes as a 16-bit integer and stores the result in the ReceivedInt property. Byte order and signedness are selectable.

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;
}

//  Read exactly two bytes as a 16-bit integer and store the result in the ReceivedInt property.
//  The 1st argument selects byte order (true = big-endian); the 2nd selects unsigned interpretation.
bool bBigEndian = true;
bool bUnsigned = false;
success = socket.ReceiveInt16(bBigEndian,bUnsigned);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Received 16-bit integer: " + Convert.ToString(socket.ReceivedInt));
