public: string* WaitFor( 
   string* prompt

String^ WaitFor( 
   String^ prompt
) 

Parameters

prompt

Data is read until this string is found.

Return Value

This method reads from the data stream until the specified string is found or the method times out. Often, it is useful when communicating with a server to be able to read data until a token is found. For example, during a login operation the server may send a string "login:". You could use WaitFor to keep reading until you find "login:", then issue your login command.

This method will block for the amount of time specified in Tcp.ReceiveTimeout. If Tcp.ReceiveTimeout is 0, this method will throw a System.InvalidOperationException. If prompt is not found within the time specified by Tcp.ReceiveTimeout, a System.SocketException is thrown (with the timeout ErrorCode of 10060).

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
