Im a beginner but to me it seems to have to do with the threading?
Also because it freezes I cant see if the rest is working, any ideas on how to improve workflow, as in searching for the exact point the mistakes are? Im wasting alot of time searching anything because I dont know how to properly test, debug and pinpoint the mistakes I made.
Appreciate any help =))

Streams generally do exactly what you ask of them. If you ask for 10 bytes, then a Read will not return until there are 10 bytes to return. What stream.Read will not do, is return fewer bytes just because that is how many have been received.
This code will block until 1024 bytes have been read.
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int byte_count = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (byte_count == 0)
{
break;
}
Is that what you are expecting?
Generally, byte based protocols have a header, which contains how many bytes are in the payload.
Imagine the protocol below:
<stx><soh><len><eoh><payload><etx>
stx = Start of transmission
soh = Start of header
len = length of payload
eoh = End of header
etx = End of transmission
To read a complete packet you MUST read 4 bytes, and then you MUST read enough bytes to complete the payload, then the last byte should be ETX.
byte[5] header;
stream.Read(buffer, 0, 4);
int payloadLength = header[2];
byte[] payload = new byte[payloadLength];
stream.Read(payload, 0, payloadLength);
stream.Read() == ETX;

The TcpListener.AcceptTcpClient method is blocking. You could try using its asynchronous counterpart instead, combined with async/await:
private async void btnConnect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/* ... */
TcpClient client = await ServerSocket.AcceptTcpClientAsync();
/* ... */
}

2 Way messaging system in C# using Sockets

I am trying to make a 2 Way chat messaging system, One that would send a message and the other party gets it and sends back a message and the other party can reply as well. I found a code I have been able to utilize to make mine and it works fine but it's only a one-way message system hence I wanted something that the client can send a message to the server and the server back to the client.
My code looks like this, tho it's a one-way
Server
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.IO;
namespace Sever
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TcpListener serverSocket = new TcpListener(4523);
serverSocket.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Started!");
while (true)
{
TcpClient clientSocket = serverSocket.AcceptTcpClient();
handleClient clientx = new handleClient();
clientx.startClient(clientSocket);
}
}
}
public class handleClient
{
TcpClient clientSocket;
public void startClient(TcpClient inClientSocket)
{
this.clientSocket = inClientSocket;
Thread ctThread = new Thread(Chat);
Thread xthread = new Thread(msg);
ctThread.Start();
}
private void Chat()
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[100];
while (true)
{
NetworkStream ns = clientSocket.GetStream();
BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(clientSocket.GetStream());
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString());
}
}
private void msg()
{
byte[] buf2 = new byte[100];
while (true)
{
TcpClient client = new TcpClient("localhost", 4523);
NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream();
string str = Console.ReadLine();
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(client.GetStream());
bw.Write(str);
}
}
}
}
Now this is the Client.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
while (true)
{
TcpClient client = new TcpClient("localhost",4523);
NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[100];
string str = Console.ReadLine();
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(client.GetStream());
bw.Write(str);
}
}
}
What am I Really Missing, Client remains the same?

Ok i finally resolved it , its now a 2 way chat, did it with streamwriter and reader at the same time.. works like a charm

Here is a sample which uses my library Griffin.Framework to transmit a file (Apache license).
All you need to do is to install the nuget package "griffin.framework" and then create a console application and replace Program class with the following:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var server = new ChannelTcpListener();
server.MessageReceived = OnServerReceivedMessage;
server.Start(IPAddress.Any, 0);
var client = new ChannelTcpClient<object>(new MicroMessageEncoder(new DataContractMessageSerializer()),
new MicroMessageDecoder(new DataContractMessageSerializer()));
client.ConnectAsync(IPAddress.Loopback, server.LocalPort).Wait();
client.SendAsync(new FileStream("TextSample.txt", FileMode.Open)).Wait();
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static void OnServerReceivedMessage(ITcpChannel channel, object message)
{
var file = (Stream) message;
var reader = new StreamReader(file);
var fileContents = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(fileContents);
}
}
The library can send/receive any type of stream of any size (as long as the size is known). The client will automatically create a MemoryStream or FileStream depending on the stream size.

C# WPF help in override async void

public MainForm()
{

}
private void resetControls()
{
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Marquee;
textBox1.Text = "Waiting for connection...";
}
protected override async void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
// Listen
TcpListener listener = TcpListener.Create(PORT);
listener.Start();
textBox1.Text = "Waiting for connection...";
TcpClient client = await listener.AcceptTcpClientAsync();
NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream();
// Get file info
long fileLength;
string fileName;
{
byte[] fileNameBytes;
byte[] fileNameLengthBytes = new byte[4]; //int32

await ns.ReadAsync(fileNameBytes, 0, fileNameBytes.Length);
fileLength = BitConverter.ToInt64(fileLengthBytes, 0);
fileName = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(fileNameBytes);
}
// Get permission
if (MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Requesting permission to receive file:\r\n\r\n{0}\r\n{1} bytes long", fileName, fileLength), "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) != DialogResult.Yes)
{

}
ns.WriteByte(1); // Permission grantedd
FileStream fileStream = File.Open(sfd.FileName, FileMode.Create);
// Receive
textBox1.Text = "Receiving...";

progressBar1.Value = 0;
int read;
int totalRead = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[32 * 1024]; // 32k chunks

progressBar1.Value = (int)((100d * totalRead) / fileLength);
}
fileStream.Dispose();
client.Close();
MessageBox.Show("File successfully received");
resetControls();
}
}
}
I've successfully converted all the things in this code into WPF.
and the ONLY problem I am getting in WPF is this:
protected override async void OnShown(EventArgs e)
Error 8 'EmployeeLocatorv2.receiver.OnShown(System.EventArgs)': no suitable method found to override

This means that the class your main form is inheriting (probably Window or UserControl) does not have a virtual method named "OnShown" that you can override.
According to Chango V., Window.ContentRendered is the event you're looking for.

You can use the Window.ContentRendered event to know when the WPF form is rendered.
You can declare the event in your XAML:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" ContentRendered="Window_ContentRendered_1">
And the corresponding code:
private void Window_ContentRendered_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Place your code here.
}

In WPF, ContentRendered has a similar behavior.
bool _hasShown;
protected override void OnContentRendered(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnContentRendered(e);
if (!_hasShown)
{
_hasShown = true;
// void OnShown() code here!
}
}

Trying to stream 2 way audio over TCP?

I'm trying to make a video conferencing application (written in c#) that would allow 2 users to video conference using TCP. In addition, users can text chat separately. Right now, I have a working video stream, yet don't have the audio working yet. I'm unsure of how to access the microphone, stream it using TCP, and then play it on the other user's speakers as I'm relatively new to c# and brand new to using media.
If anyone could point me towards sample code, help me know how to access the mic, or anything else you think would help me, that'd be great.
I'm attaching my code as is for reference.

You should try downloading NAudio, it is an open source audio library. It comes with a demo on how to stream audio using UDP from one pc to another; it is in the NAudioDemo app called "Network Chat".
http://naudio.codeplex.com/
TCP which you are currently using is not really recommended for audio. Use UDP instead
http://www.onsip.com/about-voip/sip/udp-versus-tcp-for-voip
Alternatively, if you do not want to reinvent the wheel ( I am not sure what is your ultimate goal with your project ), you can try downloading our iConf.NET video conferencing SDK that does most of the leg work for you ( but is not free )
