Socket Methods

.NET Framework 3.5

The Socket type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	Accept	Creates a new Socket for a newly created connection.
	AcceptAsync	Begins an asynchronous operation to accept an incoming connection attempt.
	BeginAccept	Overloaded. Begins an asynchronous operation to accept an incoming connection attempt.
	BeginConnect	Overloaded. Begins an asynchronous request for a remote host connection.
	BeginDisconnect	Begins an asynchronous request to disconnect from a remote endpoint.
	BeginReceive	Overloaded. Begins to asynchronously receive data from a connected Socket.
	BeginReceiveFrom	Begins to asynchronously receive data from a specified network device.
	BeginReceiveMessageFrom	Begins to asynchronously receive the specified number of bytes of data into the specified location of the data buffer, using the specified SocketFlags, and stores the endpoint and packet information..
	BeginSend	Overloaded. Sends data asynchronously to a connected Socket.
	BeginSendFile	Overloaded. Sends a file asynchronously to a connected Socket object.
	BeginSendTo	Sends data asynchronously to a specific remote host.
	Bind	Associates a Socket with a local endpoint.
	Close	Overloaded. Closes the Socket connection and releases all associated resources.
	Connect	Overloaded. Establishes a connection to a remote host.
	ConnectAsync	Begins an asynchronous request for a remote host connection.
	Disconnect	Closes the socket connection and allows reuse of the socket.
	DisconnectAsync	Begins an asynchronous request to disconnect from a remote endpoint.
	Dispose	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Socket, and optionally disposes of the managed resources.
	DuplicateAndClose	Duplicates the socket reference for the target process, and closes the socket for this process.
	EndAccept	Overloaded. Asynchronously accepts an incoming connection attempt.
	EndConnect	Ends a pending asynchronous connection request.
	EndDisconnect	Ends a pending asynchronous disconnect request.
	EndReceive	Overloaded. Ends a pending asynchronous read.
	EndReceiveFrom	Ends a pending asynchronous read from a specific endpoint.
	EndReceiveMessageFrom	Ends a pending asynchronous read from a specific endpoint. This method also reveals more information about the packet than EndReceiveFrom.
	EndSend	Overloaded. Ends a pending asynchronous send.
	EndSendFile	Ends a pending asynchronous send of a file.
	EndSendTo	Ends a pending asynchronous send to a specific location.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Frees resources used by the Socket class. (Overrides Object.Finalize().)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetSocketOption	Overloaded. Returns the value of a Socket option.
	GetType	Gets the type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IOControl	Overloaded. Sets low-level operating modes for the Socket.
	Listen	Places a Socket in a listening state.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Poll	Determines the status of the Socket.
	Receive	Overloaded. Receives data from a bound Socket.
	ReceiveAsync	Begins an asynchronous request to receive data from a connected Socket object.
	ReceiveFrom	Overloaded. Receives a datagram and stores the source endpoint.
	ReceiveFromAsync	Begins to asynchronously receive data from a specified network device.
	ReceiveMessageFrom	Receives the specified number of bytes of data into the specified location of the data buffer, using the specified SocketFlags, and stores the endpoint and packet information.
	ReceiveMessageFromAsync	Begins to asynchronously receive the specified number of bytes of data into the specified location in the data buffer, using the specified SocketAsyncEventArgs.SocketFlags, and stores the endpoint and packet information.
	Select	Determines the status of one or more sockets.
	Send	Overloaded. Sends data to a connected Socket.
	SendAsync	Sends data asynchronously to a connected Socket object.
	SendFile	Overloaded. Sends a file and optional data synchronously to a connected Socket.
	SendPacketsAsync	Sends a collection of files or in memory data buffers asynchronously to a connected Socket object.
	SendTo	Overloaded. Sends data to a specific endpoint.
	SendToAsync	Sends data asynchronously to a specific remote host.
	SetSocketOption	Overloaded. Sets a Socket option.
	Shutdown	Disables sends and receives on a Socket.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
