' Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
' In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

' - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
' - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
' - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

Dim socket_for_sending As New Chilkat.Socket
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_sending)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim socket_for_monitor As New Chilkat.Socket
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_monitor)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
