Wait for a Socket to Become Writable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SelectForWriting, which waits for the socket, or sockets in a socket set, to become writable. It returns 1 if writable, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

//  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean
bTls = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Int32
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Wait up to 5 seconds for the socket (or sockets in a socket set) to become writable.  Returns 1 if
//  writable, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.
Dim ready As Int32
ready = socket.SelectForWriting(5000)
If (ready < 0) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

If (ready <> 1) Then
    System.DebugLog("The socket did not become writable before the timeout.")
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("The socket is ready for writing.")
