socket , stream

Here’s the correct way to read a 1,000-byte stream:

byte[] data = new byte [1000];

// bytesRead will always end up at 1000, unless the stream is

// itself smaller in length:

int bytesRead = 0;

int chunkSize = 1;

while (bytesRead < data.Length && chunkSize > 0)

bytesRead +=

chunkSize = s.Read (data, bytesRead, data.Length - bytesRead);
