Sending data from server

I tried to send data to client using this function

protected void SendData(Socket so, string sendData)
{
    byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sendData);
    so.Send(data);

    Console.WriteLine("Sending data back to Client\n");
}

I call this function on this function

protected void ProcessData(int x, string data, Socket so)
{
    if (x < mybuffersize)
    {
        data = data.Trim();
        SendData(so, data);
    }
}

its work well.. and send the data that server received from client. but when I changed it to this,

protected void ProcessData(int x, string data, Socket so)
{
    if (x < mybuffersize)
    {
        data = data.Trim();
        SendData(so, data);
        string sendData = "Testing send string";
        SendData(so, sendData);
    }
}

Client will only receive the data he send to me, but not the string Testing send string. Am I doing something wrongly or are there any restriction?

Because we don't know what the server does nor how it gets the data, can you please try this and see what the server gets:

protected void ProcessData(int x, string data, Socket so)   
{
    if (x < mybuffersize)
    {
        string sendData = "Testing send string\0";
        SendData(so, sendData);
        data = data.Trim();
        SendData(so, data);
    } 
}

I found out that the problem is with sending the data,

it seems my client(flash) will receive the string if i add something like this:

protected void ProcessData(int x, string data, Socket so)
{
    if (x < mybuffersize)
    {
        data = data.Trim();
        SendData(so, data);
        string sendData = "Testing send string\0";
        SendData(so, sendData);
    }
}

if anyone can explain why, please add at the comment of this answer, thx

We can use TCP messages to send data to client using asynchronous communication.

Initialize Server Socket and try to connect:

// Specify the size according to your need.
private byte[] bytData = new byte[1024 * 50000];
private Socket oServerSocket;

private void WindowLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        // We are using TCP sockets
        this.oServerSocket = new Socket(
        addressFamily: AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
        socketType: SocketType.Stream,
        protocolType: ProtocolType.Tcp);

        // Assign the any IP of the hardware and listen on port number which the hardware is sending(here it's 5656)
        var oIPEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(address: IPAddress.Any, port: 5656);

        // Bind and listen on the given address
        this.oServerSocket.Bind(localEP: oIPEndPoint);
        this.oServerSocket.Listen(backlog: 4);

        // Accept the incoming clients
        this.oServerSocket.BeginAccept(this.OnAccept, null);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // Handle Exception
    }
}

On Successful connection:

private void OnAccept(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    try
    {
        var oClientSocket = this.oServerSocket.EndAccept(asyncResult: ar);

        // Start listening for more clients
        this.oServerSocket.BeginAccept(callback: this.OnAccept, state: null);

        // Once the client connects then start receiving the commands from her
        oClientSocket.BeginReceive(
        buffer: this.bytData,
        offset: 0,
        size: this.bytData.Length,
        socketFlags: SocketFlags.None,
        callback: this.OnReceive,
        state: oClientSocket);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // Handle Exception
    }
}

Process the message received:

private void OnReceive(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    try
    {
        var oClientSocket = (Socket)ar.AsyncState;
        oClientSocket.EndReceive(asyncResult: ar);

        /* Process the data here

        BitConverter.ToInt32(value: this.bytData, startIndex: 0);
        string SomeString= Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes: this.bytData, index: 8, count: 5);

        */

        // Specify the size according to your need.
        this.bytData = null;
        this.bytData = new byte[1024 * 50000];
        oClientSocket.BeginReceive(
            buffer: this.bytData,
            offset: 0,
            size: this.bytData.Length,
            socketFlags: SocketFlags.None,
            callback: this.OnReceive,
            state: oClientSocket);
    }

    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // Handle Exception
    }
}
