SocketFlags Enum

Definition

Specifies socket send and receive behaviors.

This enumeration supports a bitwise combination of its member values.

public enum class SocketFlags
[System.Flags]
public enum SocketFlags
[<System.Flags>]
type SocketFlags = 
Public Enum SocketFlags
Inheritance
SocketFlags
Attributes

Fields

None 0

Use no flags for this call.

OutOfBand 1

Process out-of-band data.

Peek 2

Peek at the incoming message.

DontRoute 4

Send without using routing tables.

MaxIOVectorLength 16

Provides a standard value for the number of WSABUF structures that are used to send and receive data. This value is not used or supported on .NET Framework 4.5.

Truncated 256

The message was too large to fit into the specified buffer and was truncated.

ControlDataTruncated 512

Indicates that the control data did not fit into an internal 64-KB buffer and was truncated.

Broadcast 1024

Indicates a broadcast packet.

Multicast 2048

Indicates a multicast packet.

Partial 32768

Partial send or receive for message.

Examples

The following example sends data and specifies SocketFlags.None.

// Displays sending with a connected socket
// using the overload that takes a buffer, message size, and socket flags.
int SendReceiveTest3( Socket^ server )
{
   array<Byte>^ msg = Encoding::UTF8->GetBytes( "This is a test" );
   array<Byte>^ bytes = gcnew array<Byte>(256);
   try
   {
      // Blocks until send returns.
      int i = server->Send( msg, msg->Length, SocketFlags::None );
      Console::WriteLine( "Sent {0} bytes.", i.ToString() );
      
      // Get reply from the server.
      int byteCount = server->Receive( bytes, server->Available,
         SocketFlags::None );
      if ( byteCount > 0 )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( Encoding::UTF8->GetString( bytes ) );
      }
   }
   catch ( SocketException^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} Error code: {1}.", e->Message, e->ErrorCode.ToString() );
      return (e->ErrorCode);
   }
   return 0;
}
// Displays sending with a connected socket
// using the overload that takes a buffer, message size, and socket flags.

{
    byte[] msg = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("This is a test");
    byte[] bytes = new byte[256];
    try
    {
        // Blocks until send returns.
        int i = server.Send(msg, msg.Length, SocketFlags.None);
        Console.WriteLine("Sent {0} bytes.", i);

        // Get reply from the server.
        int byteCount = server.Receive(bytes, bytes.Length, SocketFlags.None);
        if (byteCount > 0)
            Console.WriteLine(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, byteCount));
    }
    catch (SocketException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0} Error code: {1}.", e.Message, e.ErrorCode);
        return (e.ErrorCode);
    }
