hi..
im writing an application that uses tcpclient/tcplistener to send file
via network, what im doing is dividing the file into small parts each
part equals the buffer size (8192) and send the parts sequentialy.
the problem is :
the listener is detecting a stream to be read once every two times the
sender sends a stream.
I triend to fix it by sending one byte {0} before each send function
and it worked because the listener ignores the first send (which is the
0 byte) then detects the next send which is the acutaul data, but i
realized that the 0 byte is still in the buffer so its attached the
next stream read.
any help? any idea is appreciated .. thank you in advance.

That is not a problem. TCP guarantees that data will be sent in the right
order ( the order being sent ) & that it will reach the destination.

What TCP doesn't guarantee is the size of data. E.g. if you sent 8k of data
listener may call Receive multiple times, this depends on network
conditions, sliding window size etc ( for details look into RFC793 for the
tcp protocol description)

What you can do to solve the trouble is to read (Receive) data until you
will receive your 8192 bytes of data.

Hi,
You need to loop into the receive function and trust me the "IsAvailable"
Function does not work. So you need to loop atleast 10 times to get the
actual data and when you finally dont get any data then you can quit.
I have written many C# client/server apps, but the only solution I got was
to loop till I found the Filesize which I send with the first request. There
is no other way!
