How to stop when I don't receive any data anymore?

[mrdutchie]

I am stuck with the following

 

I am asking for the LIST command on the newsserver

so I will receive all the newsgroups.

 

I am doing this

 

Do

bytes = mysocket.Receive(bb, bb.Length, 0)

ListBox1.Items.Add(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bb))

Loop While bytes > 0

 

 

but at the end it lockes up, cause it's getting stuck in that loop

how can I tell it to continue with something else as soon as I don't receive data anymore?

 

Thanks

you can set your buffer big enough so you dont need a while or you can check the bytes and determine if thats all or if there is something missing..

Well, If I do a LIST command for all the newsgroups,

I guess I can do a Bytes(9999999) as byte I guess

But then I still can't figure out how to continue when it stops.

I know it ends with a '.'

Then need to figure out how to break the whole thing into 55000 lines. (amount of newsgroups)
