Terminating a socket listener thread in a loop

[eliss.carmine]

Hi, I have an application where a listener thread has a while loop that
just calls Socket.ReceiveFrom over and over. When I close the app by
clickin on the X, the process doesn't die because there is still this
listener thread running. How do I terminate this thread as well?

Thanks

if all you want is to aboart the thread when the application terminates call
..Abort() method on the thread.
This will raise an exception on your thread causing it to exit the loop

Hello, (e-mail address removed)!


you have to call Socket.Close() on receiveing socket and handle
SocketExeption exceptions that may be thrown
on Socket.ReceiveFrom(...)
