That was correct, only Shutdown() should be called after all data that might still be waiting for delivery in the _component_ send buffer has been delivered to the underlaying socket. When you call any of the send-functions data is first copied into the internal send buffer of the component, real sending the happens in the background. So real sending may be delayed depending on how much you sent or on how many data is still hanging in the _component_ send buffer. ShutDown(1) only guarantees that any data delivered to the underlaying socket yet will be sent to the client, it does not guarantee component's send buffer is fully sent and empty, so calling ShutDown(1) in event OnDataSent is an ideal place. Btw: If for some reason TWSocket would try so send something after Shutdown() has been called a SocketException is raised. -- Arno Garrels [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
