if you can count the failures, you’re obviously handling them appropriately.[/quote]
And reset the counter by the watchdog 
(just kidding…)
The problem is, that I don’t get timeout, if a server is down. So I create new thread and make join with main thread for 10 seconds. But with a number of failed threads the application hangs. I wasn’t found timeout parameter for socket server request.
ok, so you have gone to quite a length to protect yourself from that scenario. I still ask what benefit you get by restarting - do things then magically work? (I now think watchdog is probably the right hammer for your nail 
)
Could you explain this, maybe show some code to understand.
When I restart spider, i have again approx 100 tries. I don’t know why there is no throwing exception, when client couldn’t reach server, and i assume that netmf doesn’t run garbage collector on these threads. I was trying to force garbage collector, but this didn’t solve my problem. Also i was setting socket options to no delay, which also didn’t work…
@ David@ Emrol -
This is my code
private static bool SendMessage(string sValue)
{
if (ConnectionProxy.ConnectableWrapper == null) return false;
Thread tSendServerBugWrapper = new Thread(() => SendMessageWorker(sValue));
tSendServerBugWrapper.Start();
tSendServerBugWrapper.Join(10000);
bool bIsSuspended = false;
if (tSendServerBugWrapper.IsAlive)
{
Debug.Print("Send server thread killed...");
bIsSuspended = true;
tSendServerBugWrapper.Suspend();
}
if (!m_IsLastSendingSucceded || bIsSuspended)
{
Debug.Print("Writting message to the store...");
PersistanceStorage.WriteToPersistanceStorage(Logging.StoreFileFileName, sValue, true);
if (m_Retries > ApplicationSettings.Retries)
PowerState.RebootDevice(false);
m_Retries = m_Retries + 1;
Debug.Print("End writting message to the store. Sending attempt " + m_Retries + " of " + ApplicationSettings.Retries);
return false;
}
else
{
m_Retries = 0;
return true;
}
}
And the actual code from the Thread please, i’m closing down for today, looking back tomorrow.
The code which sends data is (I never reach exception)
public bool SendData2Server(byte[] msg)
{
try
{
using (Socket clientSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp))
{
IPEndPoint serverEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(ServerIP), ServerPort);
clientSocket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.NoDelay, true);
clientSocket.Connect(serverEndPoint);
clientSocket.Send(msg);
clientSocket.Close();
}
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
But don’t bother whith this. I’ll use watchdog, and maybe in 4.3, the sockets would have some timeout or something… Thanks anyway
Ok, good luck and have fun !
You too
