Cancel TcpListener.Accept()

[music7611]

I have a network waiting for a connection on its own thread. (TcpListener.AcceptSocket()). Anywho, I need the thread to be able to abort while this is happening. I tried doing Thread.Abort(), but it doesn't work! I am using C#. Thankyou for your time and energy in this matter.

maybe you should stop the listener first, normally Thread.Abort should work do you use a try and catch ?

I have a try and chatch thingy, and it does catch exception ThreadAbortException, but when I used the debugger, I found that that part of the code didn't even execute. Even when I called Thread.Abort.

Wait! How do you stop the listener?

TcpListener.Stop(), perhaps?

 

[music7611]

How do you call TcpListener.Stop() when it is still in the function, TcpListener.AcceptSocket()?

for that reason i dont use it that way
i really prefer asynchronous server
there is also an example in the msdn for that way
