Socket Programming ==> C# ?!?!?!?

Question

I'm trying to transfer a huge amount of text through socket

so i create a a buffer

buffer = new byte[90000];

and it throws an

Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException'

when i change the buffer size to 50000 it works but 50000 is not enough to transfer the required amount of text . what can i do?

Answer 1

Why not have it send the data through a loop. Read from the source into the buffer x amount of characters, send the buffer, flush the buffer and repeat.

Answer 2

Well, it's an outofmemory exception, wouldn't that mean you're out of memory. Really. I mean 90,000 bytes is so small at the same time >.>

Just try a variety of different things: Killing processes / tasks, seeing if you can boot in a safe mode of some sort, which usually uses many less processes than a typical mode.

Etc. Also, C# is an extremely bulky language, in my opinion.
