How to detect a remote socket termination?

[Terry Olsen]

I have my socket program working...I can send & receive data, I can
terminate the connection, etc.

But I can't figure out how to tell if the remote client has disconnected. I
tried using Socket.Connected but it continues to return TRUE even when the
remote client has closed the connection.

Please help!

Thanks,
Terry

Ok where is it? I have searched this group and can't find any other
reference to this.

This was the answer from Tom,
---------------------------------
Without an exahustive look at your code... My suggestion is to look at
using async sockets. They are a little more difficult to code for, but
are much more efficient...

Here is a good place to start for .NET sockets:

That was the answer for a question in another thread.

Terry,

And does that than not fit for this question as well?
