What thread is used to dispatch callbacks in StreamSocket and StreamSocketListener

Question

Hi,

Is safe to assume that the callbacks of an StreanSocket or StreamSocketListener object are dispatched by the same thread?

For example two successive ConnectionReceived events in a StreamSocketListener will be serialized in the same thread or they could arrive concurrently in different threads. I have not found any references to this in the documentation.

Regards,

Jose

Hello,

 

Which project type do you based on? If it is a Win32 application, I would suggest you to ask help in Winsock Kernel (WSK). If your project is based on metro. You need use asynchronous mode in C++/CX. You can follow StreamSocket sample

Best regards,

Jesse
