Namespace: System.Net.Sockets
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
Syntax
public enum SocketOptionName
Members
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AcceptConnection | A value you use to listen for a connection. | |
| AddMembership | A value you use to add an Internet Protocol (IP) group membership. | |
| AddSourceMembership | A value you use to join a source group. | |
| BlockSource | A value you use to block data from a source. | |
| Broadcast | A value you use to permit the sending of broadcast messages on the socket. | |
| BsdUrgent | A value specifying that urgent data be used as explained in RFC-1222. Note that you can set this option only once; after you set it, you cannot turn it off. | |
| ChecksumCoverage | A value you use to get or set the UDP checksum coverage. | |
| Debug | A value you use to record debugging information. | |
| DontFragment | A value specifying that IP datagrams not be fragmented. | |
| DontLinger | A value you use to close the socket gracefully without lingering. | |
| DontRoute | A value specifying that a packet not be routed, but that it be sent directly to the interface addresses. | |
| DropMembership | A value you use to drop an IP group membership. | |
| DropSourceMembership | A value you use to drop a source group. | |
| Error | A value you use to get the error status. | |
| ExclusiveAddressUse | A value you use to enable a socket to be bound for exclusive access. | |
| Expedited | A value specifying that expedited data be used as explained in RFC-1222. Note that you can set this option only once; after you set it, you cannot turn it off. | |
| HeaderIncluded | A value specifying that the application provides the IP header for outgoing datagrams. | |
| HopLimit | A value specifying the maximum number of router hops for an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet. This is similar to the Time to Live(TTL) option for Internet Protocol version 4. | |
| IPOptions | A value specifying that the IP options to be inserted into outgoing datagrams. | |
| IpTimeToLive | A value you use to set the IP header TTL field. | |
| KeepAlive | A value specifying that keep-alives are used. | |
| Linger | A value specifying that a socket will linger on closing if there is still unsent data. | |
| MaxConnections | Not supported in .NET Micro Framework. Note that using this member will throw a SocketException exception. | |
| MulticastInterface | A value that sets the interface for outgoing multicast packets. | |
| MulticastLoopback | A value specifying that an IP multicast loopback be used. | |
| MulticastTimeToLive | A value specifying that an IP multicast TTL limit be used. | |
| NoChecksum | A value you use to send UDP datagrams with checksum set to 0 (zero). | |
| NoDelay | A value that disables the Nagle algorithm for send coalescing. | |
| OutOfBandInline | A value you use to receive out-of-band data in the normal data stream. | |
| PacketInformation | A value you use to return information about received packets. | |
| ReceiveBuffer | A value that specifies the total per-socket buffer space reserved for receives. This is unrelated to the maximum message size or the size of a TCP window. | |
| ReceiveLowWater | A value that specifies the low-water mark for Receive operations. | |
| ReceiveTimeout | A value you use to receive a time-out. Not currently supported. | |
| ReuseAddress | A value you use to allow binding to an address that is already in use. | |
| SendBuffer | A value that specifies the total per-socket buffer space reserved for sends. This is unrelated to the maximum message size or the size of a TCP window. | |
| SendLowWater | A value that specifies the low-water mark for Send operations. | |
| SendTimeout | A value you use to send a time-out. | |
| Type | A value you use to get the socket type. | |
| TypeOfService | A value you use to change the IP header type of the service field. | |
| UnblockSource | A value you use to unblock a previously blocked source. | |
| UpdateAcceptContext | A value you use to update an accepted socket's properties by using those of an existing socket. This is equivalent to using the Winsock2 SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT socket option and is supported only for connection-oriented sockets. | |
| UpdateConnectContext | A value you use to update a connected socket's properties by using those of an existing socket. This is equivalent to using the Winsock2 SO_UPDATE_CONNECT_CONTEXT socket option and is supported only for connection-oriented sockets. | |
| UseLoopback | A value you use to bypass hardware whenever possible. |
Remarks
Use one of the SetSocketOption methods to configure a socket.
