So who do we write to tell them to correct the documentation? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Griffiths, Ian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 7:37 AM Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Asynch sockets and IO completion ports
Assuming you only call EndReceive after you've got the callback, yes, nothing should need to block on EndReceive. Your code won't block because the callback only happens once there is data to retrieve. And there won't be any thread blocked inside the CLR just to service your particular receive request because it'll be handled by the pool of threads dedicated to async IO requests, if the OS supports IO completion ports. -- Ian Griffiths DevelopMentor > -----Original Message----- > From: John Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Someone pointed this out to me the other day in the docs ... > When your application calls BeginReceive, the system will use a separate > thread to execute the specified callback method, and will block on > EndReceive until the Socket reads data or throws an exception. > > I would hope that the callback doesn't get fired until after the requisite > bytes have been read into the receive buffer. ie Right after > GetQueuedCompetionStatus has indicated this IO op has completed.
