Event listeners on incoming socket stream

Question

Hi,

I have a streamsocket that needs to listen for incoming messages from a server. Upon receiving a certain message, say X, it needs to trigger an event. Is there any way to create an event listener on an incoming socket stream? This is being done in C# for a metro app.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

It seems no available event trigger in StreamSocket for incoming message from tcp server.

To trigger data arrival event, you can choose MessageWebSocket and handle the MessageReceived event which indicates that a message was received.

Otherwise, you can use DatagramSocket and handle the MessageReceived event.

Best wishes,
