Buffer Property

The buffer containing the data that was sent/received.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property Buffer As Byte()

[C#]
public byte[] Buffer {get;}

[C++]
public: __property byte[]* get_Buffer();

[C++/CLI]
public:
property array<byte>^ Buffer {
   array<byte>^ get();
}

Return Type

A byte array containing data that was sent/received over the socket.

Remarks

When using the Tcp component, using Tcp.Send or Tcp.Receive will return a Segment object. The data sent/received is available through Segment.Buffer.

When using the Udp component, using Udp.Send or Udp.Receive will return a Datagram object. The data sent/received is available through Datagram.Buffer.

When using other PowerTCP components, a Segment or Datagram object (which one depends on if TCP or UDP is used as the transport protocol) is made available to describe data sent or received, often in a Trace event. The Segment.Buffer or Datagram.Buffer property contains the actual data sent or received.

Example

The following example demonstrates connecting to a server while specifying a local interface to use.

[Visual Basic]

' Connect to the server, specifying the local interface to use

Tcp1.Connect("atropos", 13, "192.168.0.83", 8888)



' Since connection was to DAYTIME port (13), simply receive the time

Dim seg As Segment = Tcp1.Receive()



Debug.WriteLine("Time reported by server: " + seg.ToString())

[C#]



// Connect to the server, specifying the local interface to use
tcp1.Connect("atropos", 13, "192.168.0.83", 8888);


// Since connection was to DAYTIME port (13), simply receive the time
Segment seg =
tcp1.Receive();



Debug.WriteLine("Time reported by server: " + seg.ToString());
