TcpListener does not receive data

So my homework is to write a POP3 messaging software using tcp packets and im not allowed to use external libraries. I start the tcp connection when i press the Connect button and i also have a Disconnect button which stops it. I tested my server program with PuTTY and it works fine after the first connection but when i press Disconnect and Connect again it doesnt print the received data to the monitor. This problem is bothering me for ages please help. Here is my code:
Edit:
The problem was that i dont quite understand how threads work and i didnt create a new thread for each connection so i instantiated a new thread every time i created a new listener.
namespace POP3Server
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private TcpListener server;
private Int32 port;
private IPAddress ipAddress;
private TcpClient client;
private Logger log;
private Thread tcpAcceptThread;
private bool serverStarted;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
log = new Logger(txtConsole);
serverStarted = false;
tcpAcceptThread = new Thread(GetData);
}
private void btnConnect_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
port = Convert.ToInt32(txtPort.Text);
ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse(txtIP.Text);
server = new TcpListener(ipAddress, port);
server.Start();
if (tcpAcceptThread.ThreadState != ThreadState.Unstarted)
tcpAcceptThread.Start();
serverStarted = true;
log.WriteLine("Server started!");
btnConnect.IsEnabled = false;
btnDisconnect.IsEnabled = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
private void btnDisconnect_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (client != null)
client.Close();
server.Stop();
log.WriteLine("Server stopped!");
serverStarted = false;
btnConnect.IsEnabled = true;
btnDisconnect.IsEnabled = false;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
private void GetData()
{
try
{
while (serverStarted)
{
client = server.AcceptTcpClient();
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => log.WriteLine("Connected!"));
Byte[] bytes = new Byte[256];
String data = null;
NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
int i;
// Loop to receive all the data sent by the client.
while ((i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)) != 0)
{
// Translate data bytes to a ASCII string.
data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, i);
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => log.WriteLine("Received: " + data));
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => log.WriteLine(ex.ToString()));
}
}
private void btnClear_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
log.Clear();
}
}
}

Could you change following code
private bool serverStarted;
to:
private object _someLockObject = new object();
private bool _serverStarted = false;
private bool serverStarted {
get {
lock (_someLockObject)
{
return _serverStarted;
}
}
set {
lock (_someLockObject)
{
_serverStarted = value;
}
}
};
My first hunch is boolean property is not updated.

C# Asynchronus TcpListener/Client. Keep-alive ping and reconnect

I'm rather new to tcp/ip so I hope my code's not an embarrassment. I have a tcp listener/client with 2 problems.
No keep alive ping so I won't know when to close the connection
If the connection is dropped, it won't smoothly reconnect
I am unsure how to implement these functions into my current codebase and am asking for best practices/ideas. Previous answers I've found all seem to be using either old information or different classes.
The listener's only required to connect to one client so that's fine.
TCPListener:
public async Task Start() {
tcpListener = new TcpListener(_iPAddress, _listeningPort);
tcpListener.Start(1);
//Debug.Log("Listening on port " + _listeningPort);
try {
tcpClient = await tcpListener.AcceptTcpClientAsync();
clientConnected = true;
//Debug.Log("Got connection request from " + tcpClient.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString());
} catch (Exception exp) {
Debug.Log(exp.ToString());
}
}
public async void GetData(Action<Ball> callback) {
Ball ball;
try {
using (var networkStream = tcpClient.GetStream())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(networkStream))
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(networkStream)) {
writer.AutoFlush = true;
while (gameInPlay) {
string dataFromClient = await reader.ReadLineAsync();
ball = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Ball>(dataFromClient);
ball = BallConfiguration.AttachBallNumber(ball);
if (registeredBalls.Any(regEpc => regEpc == ball.Epc)) {
callback(ball);
}
}
}
} catch (NullReferenceException e) {
Debug.Log(e);
} finally {
tcpListener.Stop();
clientConnected = false;
}
}
TCPClient:
static void Main(string[] args) {
try {
while (true) {
if (!connectedToServer) {
ConnectClient(IPAddress.Loopback, 11000);
}
Thread.Sleep(3000);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Console.WriteLine("Exception : {0}", e.Message);
Console.ReadLine();
} finally {
if (tcpClient != null) {
tcpClient.Close();
}
rfidReader.Stop();
rfidReader.Disconnect();
}
}
private async static void ConnectClient(IPAddress ip, int port) {
if (tcpClient != null) {
try {
Console.WriteLine("Trying to connect to Server...");
await tcpClient.ConnectAsync(ip, port);
connectedToServer = true;

A very simple TCP server/client in C# occasionally drops packets. What can I do to prevent this?

I've got an intra-PC communication server / client set up to send and receive data from one program to another - in this case, a custom server that is listening to text commands and Unity3D.
For the most part, it works, however every once in awhile, it will drop packets, and Unity will not get them without multiple attempts. The packets seem to be sent but lost, as I do see the "Sent message" console log. The following is the code for the server and client:

I'm not really sure what's going on, or if there are any more additional checks that I need to add into the system. Note: It's TCP so that "when" this fully works, I can drop the client into other programs that I might write that may not fully rely or use Unity.

new TcpClient("127.0.0.1", Port) is not appropriate for the client. Just use TcpClient(). There is no need to specify IP and port, both of which will end up being wrong.
TCPClient.Available is almost always a bug. You seem to assume that TCP is packet based. You can't test whether a full message is incoming or not. TCP only offers a boundaryless stream of bytes. Therefore, this Available check does not tell you if a whole line is available. Also, there could be multiple lines. The correct way to read is to have a reading loop always running and simply reading lines without checking. Any line that arrives will be processed that way. No need for timers etc.
The server has the same problems.
Issue (2) might have caused the appearance of lost packets somehow. You need to fix this in any case.

I would like to connect with the following controller ->
So, I would like to catch the buttons events from the controller, but I have no idea anymore..
I've got also the known error: Java.IO.IOException: "read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1
The UUID of the controller is: 00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

I have one example to connect to a Bluetooth(2.0) device on my Github you can check the code and see if you setup is correct here is the link https://github.com/AlejandroRuiz/Mono/blob/master/Arduino/Bluetooth/MainActivity.cs if you have any specific question about the code please let me know also you need to be sure what kind of bluetooth is using because the way to connect to a 4.0 BLE is very different that the old 2.0

The problem is solved. I didn't need a Bluetooth socket. I just used the override methods "KeyDown" and "KeyUp". It works great now :)
If you need a socket and you've got an exception like IOException: read failed, socket might closed then you should read my fix here:
IOException: read failed, socket might closed - Bluetooth on Android 4.3

TCP Socket BeginReceive stops after receiving few messages

This is my scenario:
Client :
Send xml data in pieces continuously 24/7 - (It is working fine and it is not in my control).
Server - My Code:
1. Listen continuously.
2. Receive the incoming message, buffer it and create valid xml from buffer.
3. Send it to the MSMQ ( Host will do this )
I wrote a tcp server code (adding pieces of code from google), which will be hosted in windows service. Everything works fine when I run the service in local but when I place it PROD, it listens upto 73K messages and it stops receiving. It is not throwing any exception. It just blocks at BeginReceive function. I have tried using ReceiveTimeOut also. I have seen netstat also and the connections is still in established stat.
When I restart the service, it again works fine. Here I am posting my server code. Please help on this.
