Socket Methods
The methods of the Socket class are listed here. For a complete list of Socket class members, see the Socket Members topic.
Public Methods
 Accept Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Creates a new Socket for a newly created connection. |
| BeginAccept Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Begins an asynchronous operation to accept an incoming connection attempt. |
| BeginConnect Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Begins an asynchronous request for a remote host connection. |
| BeginReceive Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Begins to asynchronously receive data from a connected Socket. |
| BeginReceiveFrom Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Begins to asynchronously receive data from a specified network device. |
| BeginSend Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Sends data asynchronously to a connected Socket. |
| BeginSendTo Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Sends data asynchronously to a specific remote host. |
| Bind Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Associates a Socket with a local endpoint. |
| Close Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Closes the Socket connection and releases all associated resources. |
| Connect Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Establishes a connection to a remote host. |
| EndAccept Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Asynchronously accepts an incoming connection attempt and creates a new Socket to handle remote host communication. |
| EndConnect Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Ends a pending asynchronous connection request. |
| EndReceive Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Ends a pending asynchronous read. |
| EndReceiveFrom Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Ends a pending asynchronous read from a specific endpoint. |
| EndSend Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Ends a pending asynchronous send. |
| EndSendTo Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Ends a pending asynchronous send to a specific location. |
| Equals (inherited from Object)
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Determines whether two Object instances are equal. |
| GetHashCode Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overridden. See Object.GetHashCode. |
| GetSocketOption Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Returns the value of a Socket option. |
| GetType (inherited from Object)
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| IOControl Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Sets low-level operating modes for the Socket. |
| Listen Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Places a Socket in a listening state. |
| Poll Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Determines the status of the Socket. |
| Receive Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Receives data from a bound Socket. |
| ReceiveFrom Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Receives a datagram and stores the source endpoint. |
 Select Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Determines the status of one or more sockets. |
| Send Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Sends data to a connected Socket. |
| SendTo Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Sends data to a specific endpoint. |
| SetSocketOption Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Sets a Socket option. |
| Shutdown Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Disables sends and receives on a Socket. |
| ToString (inherited from Object)
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Protected Methods
 Dispose Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Socket, and optionally disposes of the managed resources. |
| Finalize Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overridden. Frees resources used by the Socket class.
In C# and C++, finalizers are expressed using destructor syntax. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
