Public Property UseOnlyOverlappedIO As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true on .NET Framework if the Socket uses only overlapped I/O; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Attributes: ObsoleteAttribute

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The socket has been bound to a completion port.

Remarks

.NET Framework only: Set this property to true for a Socket you intend to call DuplicateAndClose on. Otherwise, the Framework may assign a completion port to the socket, which would prohibit the use of DuplicateAndClose.

On .NET 5+ (include .NET Core) versions, the value of this property is always false, and you cannot change its value.
