AssociateHandle 2281701377

Associate this socket with the specified handle of a companion interface. Refer to the appropriate protocol-specific annex in the Winsock 2 reference or documentation for the particular companion interface for additional details.

MulticastScope 2281701386

Control the number of times a multicast packet can be forwarded by a router, also known as the Time to Live (TTL), or hop count. This value is equal to the Winsock 2 SIO_MULTICAST_SCOPE constant.

MultipointLoopback 2281701385

Control whether multicast data sent by the socket appears as incoming data in the sockets receive queue. This value is equal to the Winsock 2 SIO_MULTIPOINT_LOOPBACK constant.

NamespaceChange 2281701401

Control whether the socket receives notification when a namespace query becomes invalid. This control code is supported on Windows XP and later operating systems. This value is equal to the Winsock 2 SIO_NSP_NOTIFY_CHANGE constant.

NonBlockingIO 2147772030

Control the blocking behavior of the socket. If the argument specified with this control code is zero, the socket is placed in blocking mode. If the argument is nonzero, the socket is placed in nonblocking mode. This value is equal to the Winsock 2 FIONBIO constant.

OobDataRead 1074033415

Return information about out-of-band data waiting to be received. When using this control code on stream sockets, the return value indicates the number of bytes available.

Examples

The following code example calls the IOControl(IOControlCode, Byte[], Byte[]) method with a DataToRead parameter value and compares the result with accessing the.Available property.

void DisplayPendingByteCount( Socket^ s )
{
   array<Byte>^ outValue = BitConverter::GetBytes( 0 );
   
   // Check how many bytes have been received.
   s->IOControl( IOControlCode::DataToRead, nullptr, outValue );

   UInt32 bytesAvailable = BitConverter::ToUInt32( outValue, 0 );
   Console::Write( "server has {0} bytes pending,",
      bytesAvailable );
   Console::WriteLine( "Available property says {1}.",
      s->Available );
   return;
}
static void DisplayPendingByteCount(Socket s)
{
    byte[] outValue = BitConverter.GetBytes(0);

    // Check how many bytes have been received.
    s.IOControl(IOControlCode.DataToRead, null, outValue);

    uint bytesAvailable = BitConverter.ToUInt32(outValue, 0);
    Console.Write("server has {0} bytes pending. ",
        bytesAvailable);
    Console.WriteLine("Available property says {1}.",
                     s.Available);

    return;
}

Remarks

The IOControlCode enumeration provides named values for specifying socket operational modes. These values are the control codes passed to the Windows Sockets 2 (Winsock 2) WSAIoctl function.
