I am creating a Client/Server application Acts as a chat so the server can send messages to the client and vise-versa.
To send messages I use an event
private void btnsend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
enviar();
}
It means that when I click the button it runs this Function that sends the message to the server.
To receive the messages from the server I thought to use timer or also similar; I tried first with a while this way;
private void btnsend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
enviar();
While(true)
{
Receber();
}
}
But then I realized it would be infinite and I couldn’t use the send anymore so I thought about the timer.
Another attempt was to do the following
private void btnsend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
enviar();
}
public void enviar()
{
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(ntcpClient.GetStream());
writer.AutoFlush = true;
writer.WriteLine(gettime() + ":" + txtmsgsend.Text );
this.txtmsg.Text += gettime() +":" + txtmsgsend.Text + "\n";
txtmsgsend.Text = "";
if (txtmsgsend.Text == "/clear")
{
txtmsg.Text = "";
}
receber();
}
But there’s a problem I just check if I got a message if I send a message which still doesn’t solve the problem.
The issue of
while(1)just do it asynchronously, take a look at the namespaceSystem.Threading.Task. But don’t do this within an event, create a void method and call it inLoad().– Francisco
It is possible, but it is not the solution, it will consume processing or will have to wait for the right time, it would be better to create an architecture that is waiting for a message.
