Socket Send/receive simultaneously

[eran otzar]

can any one point out the reason why u cant send and receive on a socket at the same time ?

to my understanding there are 2 streams one to push and one to pull

if you attempt to send/receive simultaneously you will get wasealready error

what is the reason that the socket throws wasealready error (10035)
does it have any thing to do with the ack window the receiving side sends back ?
as if to keep the line open for the window ?

Dont use Sockets directly, use TcpClient and TcpListener for TCP. You can run the receive on a separate thread, theres no issue will running that thread and sending data elsewhere in the program.
