Socket connection lost (Connected = false)

[Christian]

Hi all,


i try to write a website which should dynamically show
statusinformation of the user which are using it.
Another server provides the information over TCP (plain text api).

In the codebehind file i create a thread which connects to the server
and store it as a session variable...
The first time it works, after the function fails (recieve timeout)
the property connected is false ...

Does somebody have an idea ?
I need to recieve events from that server and then i need to reload
the page...


Does somebody have an idea ?



Kind regards


Christian

When the page is returned to the browser, the Page class is released from
memory, but not the Thread. Rather than using this method, I would suggest
that you create a Web Service that maintains a constant connection to the
server, and can provide the information to the various instances of the Page
by request.

Hi Kevin,


thanks for your help... I figured out, that this only happens if the
socket.recieve returns on timeout ...

I already thaougt on catching the data external ...

How can i communicate with the webservice ?
Is there a "simple" way ?
What advantages has a websevice ?



Kind regards

Hi Christian,

XML Web Services are contacted via HTTP, using SOAP (Simple Object Access
Protocol). You can read more about Web Services here:
