Socket state

Marko Vujica · Jul 21, 2004

How can I get the state of socket like "netstat -a" does (CLOSE_WAIT,
FIN_WAIT_1, etc.)? Poll method of Socket class does not give much
information. Obviously I'm not very familiar with socket programming.
Thanks.

Until framework version 1.1 its not possible from managed classes, you could
use native win32 API for this.
Look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iphlp/iphlp/gettcptable.asp

In .Net framework 2.0 (Beta-1), look at System.Net.NetworkInformation
namespace and look at IPGlobalProperties.GetActiveTcpConnections() method.

Whidbey Beta1 is avaialble for download at http://msdn.microsoft.com/net
