This is the following I have a tcp server for chat. every time I start the server and then close the form, the program gives an error because it is in an infinite loop in this part of the code:
while (Connected)
{
Sendtxtbox.Enabled = true;
// Mostra a mensagem na TextBox.
try
{
this.Invoke(new UpdateLogCallback(this.UpdateLog), new object[] {
srReceiver.ReadLine()
});
}
catch
{ }
}
How can I break the loop when the tcp server closes?
