First, a big thanks for this great library. Well, at least, there is a big potential :)

Indeed, it seems I have a deadlock problem in the library.

I'm using the lastest version.

My application is a mutli-threaded tunnel manager, that use asynchronous network communications (through a SecureNetworkStream).

After a certain "amount" of connection (when running as a service, I would say 5 -> the number of working thread), all my apps is blocked, in read (/shutdown?) calls (i do not receive read termination callbacks).

I looked in the board and saw similar problems.

Do you have an idea or an plan for a correction?

Thanks a lot!

Have you synchronized your code? Keep in mind that asynchonous calls have to be synchronized because they can interrupt each other.
If you have synchronized your code, can you send me a small example application that shows the problem you're seeing? We haven't been able to reproduce this particular issue.

I am having a similar problem.

The server side receives all the data on a socket, calls Shutdown(Both), then Close().... but it hangs on the call to Shutdown. The client app is not writing to the socket at this time.

The app works fine if I use the non-secure VirtualSocket, and also if I simply remove the Shutdown and just execute Close.

I was not sure what you ment by 'synchronized your code', so I probably have not done that.

Any thoughts? Build 1.0.13.705.



(PS Nice work on this library!)

I have the exact same problem. My application is run as a service and it hangs (deadlock) on shutdown. The problem only appears if the socket is in secure mode.
There is no stress on the application and no synchronization problems. SecureSocket version is 1.0.13.705.
Has anyone seen a solution on this?

This is where the deadlock is:
