Hi There,

i have an socket server and client , some how the listener socket is getting disposed after some time for some reason . is there any expiry period associated with the socket , how do i set/control the expiry period if any .

i am using Socket class of .net 2.0

the error ocuured was

Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket'.
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags, SocketError& errorCode)
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags)
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer)
at PubSub.ChannelListener.receive(String msg)

since the reference of this socket is in main class , i do not think this would be because GC is collecting it .

any suggestions/comments will be highly helpful.

Thanks
Deepak

Yes, sockets may have timeouts associated with them.

However, reaching one of these timeouts is not going to Dispose the object. Something is calling Dispose, either your code or a library you call.

If the GC collects it, then you would not be able to access it to get the error you are showing. So the GC does not seem to be the problem.

Hi Deepak
Do you still need help with your question? If you have figured out what was causing the problem, can you post it here so other people can benefit?
And if you're still seeing it can you post a code snippet and /or trace file?
