Does Socket Timeout work in 4.3?

I was testing socket timeout and noticed that it didn’t seem to honor the timeout value I set.
As a test I got to try to connect to every IP on my network, and set the socket send and rec timeout to 100ms.

The code snippet:

IPAddress host = IPAddress.Parse(ip);
            IPEndPoint hostep = new IPEndPoint(host, port);
            using (Socket sock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp))
            {
                sock.ReceiveTimeout = receiveTimeout;
                sock.SendTimeout = sendTimeout;
                sock.Connect(hostep);

The exception is thrown in the last line, I have the code in a try/catch block.

As you can see the times are all over the place, and some are over 100s:
Is this a know issue?
Thanks
Guy

Hi again,
This is the last piece of my project that I can’t get to work now!!
So any answers would be appreciated… :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Can you spin a thread with your socket and then terminate on timeout?

Good idea Gus. I’ll give that a go.
By Terminate, do you mean simply dispose of the socket using the ‘Close and Dipose’ methods? Is that enough of a clean up?
I can’t see any to explicitly abort it…
Thanks
