Socket.SendBufferSize Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets or sets a value that specifies the size of the send buffer of the Socket.
public:
property int SendBufferSize { int get(); void set(int value); };
public int SendBufferSize { get; set; }
member this.SendBufferSize : int with get, set
Public Property SendBufferSize As Integer
Property Value
An Int32 that contains the size, in bytes, of the send buffer. The default value depends on the operating system.
Exceptions
An error occurred when attempting to access the socket.
The Socket has been closed.
The value specified for a set operation is less than 0.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of the SendBufferSize property.
static void ConfigureTcpSocket(Socket^ tcpSocket)
{
// Don't allow another socket to bind to this port.
tcpSocket->ExclusiveAddressUse = true;
// The socket will linger for 10 seconds after
// Socket.Close is called.
tcpSocket->LingerState = gcnew LingerOption(true, 10);
// Disable the Nagle Algorithm for this tcp socket.
tcpSocket->NoDelay = true;
// Set the receive buffer size to 8k
tcpSocket->ReceiveBufferSize = 8192;
// Set the timeout for synchronous receive methods to
// 1 second (1000 milliseconds.)
tcpSocket->ReceiveTimeout = 1000;
// Set the send buffer size to 8k.
tcpSocket->SendBufferSize = 8192;
// Set the timeout for synchronous send methods
// to 1 second (1000 milliseconds.)
tcpSocket->SendTimeout = 1000;
// Set the Time To Live (TTL) to 42 router hops.
tcpSocket->Ttl = 42;
Console::WriteLine("Tcp Socket configured:");
Console::WriteLine(" ExclusiveAddressUse {0}",
tcpSocket->ExclusiveAddressUse);
Console::WriteLine(" LingerState {0}, {1}",
tcpSocket->LingerState->Enabled,
tcpSocket->LingerState->LingerTime);

tcpSocket->NoDelay);
Console::WriteLine(" ReceiveBufferSize {0}",
tcpSocket->ReceiveBufferSize);
Console::WriteLine(" ReceiveTimeout {0}",
tcpSocket->ReceiveTimeout);
Console::WriteLine(" SendBufferSize {0}",
tcpSocket->SendBufferSize);
Console::WriteLine(" SendTimeout {0}",
tcpSocket->SendTimeout);
Console::WriteLine(" Ttl {0}",
tcpSocket->Ttl);
Console::WriteLine(" IsBound {0}",
tcpSocket->IsBound);
Console::WriteLine("");
}

Remarks
A larger buffer size might delay the recognition of connection difficulties. Consider increasing the buffer size if you are transferring large files, or you are using a high bandwidth, high latency connection (such as a satellite broadband provider.)
