socket non blocking of receive

[Guest]

I'm using the following statement to receive info from a TCPListener socket,

Int32 bytes = s.Receive(RecvBytes, RecvBytes.Length, 0);

It works fine but it blocks. I need the receive to not block. On my
TCPListener I just check intermittently for a connection using pending. This
allow it to be non blocking. Is there a way to do this with Receive?

I assume you mean that you're using that code from a Socket. TCPListener
does not have a Receive method. If so, and you are referring to a Socket,
use the Socket.BeginReceive asynchronous method. There are excellent
examples in the MSDN library and framework documentation. Just search for
BeginReceive AND Socket in the MSDN library.
