TsgcWebSocketServer | Start Server

The first thing you must set when you want to start a server is the listening port. By default, this is set to port 80 but you can change it to any port.

Once the port is set, there are 2 methods to start a server.

 

Active Property

If you set the Active property to true, the server will start listening for all incoming connections on the configured port.

oServer = new TsgcWebSocketServer();
oServer.Port = 80;
oServer.Active = true;

If you set the Active property to false, the server will stop and close all active connections.

 

oServer.Active = false;

 

Start / Stop methods

 

While setting the Active property starts/stops the server in the same thread, the Start and Stop methods are executed in a secondary thread.

 

oServer = new TsgcWebSocketServer();
oServer.Port = 80;
oServer.Start();

If you call the Stop() method, the server will stop and close all active connections.

 

oServer.Stop();

You can use the method ReStart, to Stop and Start server in a secondary thread.
