PowerTCP SSL Sockets for .NET |
| Dart.PowerTCP.SslSockets Namespace : Server Class (Dart.PowerTCP.SslSockets) |
The Server component provides a quick and easy way to build a non-secure or secure server application by managing Tcp connections.
For a list of all members of this type, see Server members.

public ref class Server : public ComponentUse the Server component to listen for incoming connections. When a connection is established from a TCP client, a new thread is created on which the server and client can communicate.
What follows are short usage descriptions. For more information, see the appropriate member topic
Listening for connections: Use the Listen method (specifying the port to listen on) to listen for incoming TCP connections.
Determining if the server is active: Once the server is bound to a port and listening for incoming connections, the ActiveChanged event is raised. Check the Active property to see if this event was raised because the server began listening or stopped listening.
Handling incoming connections: When a TCP client connects to the server, the Connection event is raised. A Tcp instance is made available in the event, representing the connection between client and server. Use the Tcp instance to send and receive data to/from the connected client.
Stop accepting incoming connections: Use the Close method to stop accepting incoming connections. Any existing connections will remain intact.
Stop the server while closing all connections: Use the Abort method to stop the server and immediately close all connections.
Communicating securely (available with PowerTCP SSL Sockets for .NET only!): Set the Certificate property to a valid Certificate object to automatically create an SSL Server.
The following example demonstrates the code required to build a simple echo server.
[Visual Basic]
Private Sub StartServer()
' Begin listening for connections on port 7.
Server1.Listen(7)
End Sub
Private Sub Server1_Connection(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ConnectionEventArgs) Handles Server1.Connection
' This event is raised on a new thread when a connection is received.
Try
' Keep receiving data until connection is closed
Do While (e.Tcp.Connected)
' Receive data.
Dim seg As Segment = e.Tcp.Receive()
' Echo data back to client
e.Tcp.Send(seg.ToString())
Loop
Catch ex As Exception
'eat exception
End Try
End Sub
[C#]
private void StartServer()
{
// Begin listening for connections on port 7.
server1.Listen(7);
}
private void server1_Connection(object
sender, ConnectionEventArgs e)
{
// This event is raised on a new thread when a connection is received.
try
{
// Keep receiving data until connection is closed
while(e.Tcp.Connected)
{
// Receive data.
Segment seg = e.Tcp.Receive();
// Echo data back to client.
e.Tcp.Send(seg.ToString());
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
// eat any exceptions
}
}
