[Mono-devel-list] NetworkStream

[Martin Hinks]

Hi Arnhoffer,

There are various things to try:

1.) Check that tIntFullSize is not 0 when the .Read line is called.
2.) Try this with a plain networkstream derived from a socket rather
than from a TcpClient
3.) If you are trying to read the entire buffer of length
tintFullSize, is it not possible that the server has not sent all the
data when the read is performed? ie. Just because DataAvailable is
true does NOT mean that you may be able to read ALL the data you are
expecting from the stream, it might not have arrived yet, and as you
are expecting to be able to read it all it might return 0 (I think it
should block though, which is why it must work on .NET)
4.) After some of the diagnoses above, file a bugzilla report.

When I run this service on a Windows machine (MS .NET framework) everything is fine, but when running on a Linux machine (SuSE 9.2, Mono 1.1.8 (from RPMs)) the service reads allways zeroes from the stream.
