Check the Socket Status, if the working in Background

[Sinan Tuzcu]

Helo,

I want that my socket stays connected to the server continuously, and therefore I use this sub routine

Sub TimerService_Tick    'TimerInterval = 5 sec
If Socket2.Connected = False Then
Socket2.Close
Socket2.Initialize("Socket2")
Socket2.Connect("xxxxxxxxxxxxx",xxxx,5000)      
Else
SendCommand("MSA" & TextStr)
End If
End Sub

the problem is that,if the app works in background, the socket checking doesn’t function

If Socket2.Connected = False Then

as soon as the App works in foreground , socket checking functions without any Problem

could someone please explain me what i do wrong here?

You should use AsyncStreams and handle the Error / Terminated events.

Helo Erel,

I don't understand what you mean.
Can you give me a example of this function?
