Wow lol thats quite a hefty bit of code there...

I posted on another forum as well and got an even easier way to get the number of bytes from the network stream

EndRead() returns the number of bytes after reading a stream with the BeginStream() function.

Thanks for helping anyway...

Need Some Help with TCPClient NetworkStream Reading

Daniel3120 — Fri, 23 May 2008 06:39:53 GMT

At the minute when i try to read from the TCPClient NetworkStream, I have no way to set the read buffer to the correct amount of data being received on the stream.

I have tried using TCPClient.Client.ReceiveBufferSize but this is always 8192 even if the data being received is less than that.

It is important because i end up with a load of 0 bytes at the end of the buffer which is causing me a lot of problems.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to set the buffer to the correct size? heres my code so far, its running on a different thread to TCP:

Private Sub Listen()
Try
Do Until nolisten = True

Do Until ns.DataAvailable
'wait until data available or disconnected
Loop

errtimeout.Stop()

If ns.DataAvailable Then
Dim size As Integer = TCP.Client.ReceiveBufferSize
Dim b(size) As Byte
'ns.Read(b, 0, size)
ns.BeginRead(b, 0, size, New AsyncCallback(AddressOf nsread), b)
End If

Loop
Catch ex As ObjectDisposedException
End Try
End Sub
