TCP listener on a thread wont stop

[raistlinneo]

Hey, I'm trying to set up a tcplistener on a different thread so i can still use my app while i wait for an incoming connection. However, If exit the application before the connection is established, the listener thread keeps running. How do I make the application kill the thread when it exits. I've tried Thread.Stop() but it didn't work


Thanks in advance

Do THREAD.ABORT()

oops, thread.abort is the right command. That did the trick, but there was something else I had to do to make it stop. I was dimming the tcplistener from within the sub, and i couldnt stop it from the other sub.

so just a note to anyone else trying the same thing and having problems., dim the tcplistener from outside the subroutine. easier to stop that way


thank for the help coolbiz
