when i try to check connection like this

            bool blockingState = Socket.Blocking;
            try
            {
                byte[] tmp = new byte[1];

                Socket.Blocking = false;
                Socket.Send(tmp, 0, SocketFlags.None);
            }
            catch (SocketException e)
            {
                // 10035 == WSAEWOULDBLOCK
                if (!e.NativeErrorCode.Equals(10035))
                    throw;
            }
            finally
            {
                Socket.Blocking = blockingState;
            }

it doesn't send empty TCP packet. so I can't check if connection is alive.
ms framework does and ms advise to use this technique to check connection

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect client socket to server socket
2. kill server process with connected socket
3. try to check connection from client side with code from details
Actual Results:  
client doesn't send empty tcp packet

Expected Results:  
client should send empty tcp packet and report problems if any

see \mcs\class\System\System.Net.Sockets\Socket.cs
method
internal int Send_nochecks (byte [] buf, int offset, int size, SocketFlags
flags, out SocketError error) 
code:
            if (size == 0) {
                error = SocketError.Success;
                return 0;
            }
