Hi

I get this error when I'm trying to send using the secure socket. Any ideas? Here is a code snippet:
Dim options As Ssl.SecurityOptions
Dim socket As Ssl.SecureSocket

options = New Ssl.SecurityOptions(Ssl.SecureProtocol.Ssl3, Nothing, Ssl.ConnectionEnd.Client)
socket = New Ssl.SecureSocket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp, options)
socket.Connect(New IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(_ProcessorServer).AddressList(0), _Port))

Dim data As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sw.ToString.Trim)
socket.Send(data, 0, data.Length, SocketFlags.None)

This probably happens because there was an error during the handshake phase.

When socket.Connect successfully returns, this doesn't mean that the SSL handshake has been successfully completed. If for some reason the handshake fails, the next call to the socket object will throw an exception (in your case, socket.Send). The reason you're getting a relatively obscure exception is because you're working on a LAN (I presume). Sometimes, the handshake messages are sent so fast that the handshake is actually complete before the call to socket.Send. In this case, the internal socket variables are already cleaned up when you call socket.Send, resulting in the ObjectDisposedException.

The SSL handshake typically fails because the server doesn't have an RSA certificate installed and because our security library doesn't support non-RSA cipher suites.
