The xtd::net::sockets::socket class provides a rich set of methods and properties for network communications. The xtd::net::sockets::socket class allows you to perform both synchronous and asynchronous data transfer using any of the communication protocols listed in the xtd::net::sockets::protocol_type enumeration.

The xtd::net::sockets::socket class follows the xtd naming pattern for asynchronous methods. For example, the synchronous xtd::net::sockets::receive method corresponds to the asynchronous xtd::net::sockets::begin_receive and xtd::net::sockets::end_receive methods.

If your application only requires one thread during execution, use the following methods, which are designed for synchronous operation mode.

If you are using a connection-oriented protocol such as TCP, your server can listen for connections using the xtd::net::sockets::socket::listen method. The xtd::net::sockets::socket::xtd::net::sockets::socket::accept method processes any incoming connection requests and returns a xtd::net::sockets::socket that you can use to communicate data with the remote host. Use this returned xtd::net::sockets::socket to call the xtd::net::sockets::socket::send or xtd::net::sockets::socket::receive method. Call the xtd::net::sockets::socket::bind method prior to calling the xtd::net::sockets::socket::listen method if you want to specify the local IP address and port number. Use a port number of zero if you want the underlying service provider to assign a free port for you. If you want to connect to a listening host, call the xtd::net::sockets::socket::connect method. To communicate data, call the xtd::net::sockets::socket::send or xtd::net::sockets::socket::receive method.
If you are using a connectionless protocol such as UDP, you do not need to listen for connections at all. Call the xtd::net::sockets::socket::receive_from method to accept any incoming datagrams. Use the xtd::net::sockets::socket::send_to method to send datagrams to a remote host.

To process communications using separate threads during execution, use the following methods, which are designed for asynchronous operation mode.

If you are using a connection-oriented protocol such as TCP, use the xtd::net::sockets::socket, xtd::net::sockets::socket::begin_connect, and xtd::net::sockets::socket::end_connect methods to connect with a listening host. Use the xtd::net::sockets::socket::begin_send and xtd::net::sockets::socket::end_send or xtd::net::sockets::socket::begin_receive and xtd::net::sockets::socket::end_receive methods to communicate data asynchronously. Incoming connection requests can be processed using xtd::net::sockets::socket::begin_accept and xtd::net::sockets::socket::end_accept.
If you are using a connectionless protocol such as UDP, you can use xtd::net::sockets::socket::begin_send_to and xtd::net::sockets::socket::end_send_tto to send datagrams, and xtd::net::sockets::socket::begin_receive_from and xtd::net::sockets::socket::end_receive_from to receive datagrams.

If you perform multiple asynchronous operations on a socket, they do not necessarily complete in the order in which they are started.

When you are finished sending and receiving data, use the xtd::net::sockets::socket::shutdown method to disable the xtd::net::sockets::socket. After calling xtd::net::sockets::socket::shutdown, call the xtd::net::sockets::socket::close method to release all resources associated with the xtd::net::sockets::socket.

The xtd::net::sockets::socket class allows you to configure your xtd::net::sockets::socket using the xtd::net::sockets::socket::set_socket_option method. Retrieve these settings using the xtd::net::sockets::socket::get_socket_option method.

Note: If you are writing a relatively simple application and do not require maximum performance, consider using xtd::net::sockets::tcp_client, xtd::net::sockets::tcp_listener, and xtd::net::sockets::udp_client. These classes provide a simpler and more user-friendly interface to xtd::net::sockets::socket communications.

Examples: network_stream.cpp, socket_tcp_ip_v4.cpp, socket_tcp_ip_v4_without_thread.cpp, socket_tcp_ip_v6.cpp, socket_udp_ip_v4.cpp, and socket_udp_ip_v6.cpp.
