Socket Issue

Question

Hey

I got a client and server socket connected asyn, and i got an issue when the network cable is unplugged on client side. the server does not know client is disconnected, and when it sends data there is no exception .. and i believe sendtimeout only works on sync sockets.. any idea's of what i can do on server to catch that client has disconnected ?

I believe that the only way of doing this is to have a property in your connection class that keeps count and/or time of the last send/receive action along with the System.Threading.Timer firing periodically that will perform the check against the timeout value.
