TcpClient

Hi all,

I have to write a service, where the service has to listen continuosly from the TCP port of the system where it is deployed.

I tried few Console Examples but dont know what the mistake they are not working.

thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

I tried using the following code:

TcpListener server = null;
           try
           {
               // Set the TcpListener on port 13000.
               Int32 port = 8080;
               IPAddress localAddr = IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.5");

               // TcpListener server = new TcpListener(port);
               server = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, port);
               // Start listening for client requests.
               server.Start();

               // Buffer for reading data
               Byte[] bytes = new Byte[256];
               String data = null;

               // Enter the listening loop.
               while (true)
               {
                   Console.Write("Waiting for a connection... ");

                   // Perform a blocking call to accept requests.
                   // You could also user server.AcceptSocket() here.
                   TcpClient client = server.AcceptTcpClient();
                   Console.WriteLine("Connected!");

                   data = null;

                   // Get a stream object for reading and writing
                   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);
                       Console.WriteLine("Received: {0}", data);

                       // Process the data sent by the client.
                       data = data.ToUpper();

                       byte[] msg = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data);

                       // Send back a response.
                       stream.Write(msg, 0, msg.Length);
                       Console.WriteLine("Sent: {0}", data);
                   }

                   // Shutdown and end connection
                   client.Close();
               }
           }
           catch (SocketException e)
           {
               Console.WriteLine("SocketException: {0}", e);
           }
           finally
           {
               // Stop listening for new clients.
               server.Stop();
           }


           Console.WriteLine("\nHit enter to continue...");
           Console.Read();
