  1. POHow to (really) cancel a ConnectAsync request on Windows Phone?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm developing a Windows Phone application that will connect to my server. It does this by using ConnectAsync when you push the login button. But if the server is down and you want to cancel the connecting attempt, what to do?</p> <p>Here is is the current client code complete with my latest try at shutting the socket connection down. It is to be assumed that you can easily implement a timeout once you know how to turn the connection off.</p> <pre><code> private IPAddress ServerAddress = new IPAddress(0xff00ff00); //Censored my IP private int ServerPort = 13000; private Socket CurrentSocket; private SocketAsyncEventArgs CurrentSocketEventArgs; private bool Connecting = false; private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { try { if (Connecting) { CurrentSocket.Close(); CurrentSocket.Dispose(); CurrentSocketEventArgs.Dispose(); CurrentSocket = null; CurrentSocketEventArgs = null; } UserData userdata = new UserData(); userdata.Username = usernameBox.Text; userdata.Password = passwordBox.Password; Connecting = ConnectToServer(userdata); } catch (Exception exception) { Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =&gt; MessageBox.Show("Error: " + exception.Message)); } } private bool ConnectToServer(UserData userdata) { CurrentSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); //Create a new SocketAsyncEventArgs CurrentSocketEventArgs = new SocketAsyncEventArgs(); CurrentSocketEventArgs.RemoteEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ServerAddress, ServerPort); CurrentSocketEventArgs.Completed += ConnectionCompleted; CurrentSocketEventArgs.UserToken = userdata; CurrentSocketEventArgs.SetBuffer(new byte[1024], 0, 1024); CurrentSocket.ConnectAsync(CurrentSocketEventArgs); return true; } </code></pre> <p>Edit: A thought that struck me is that perhaps it's the server computer that stacks up on requests even though the server software isn't on? Is that possible? </p>
