Accept Method

In This Topic

Means to allow DICOM negotiation on an existing socket

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Sub Accept( _
   ByVal Socket As System.Net.Sockets.Socket, _
   ByVal Stream As System.IO.Stream _
)

public void Accept( 
   System.Net.Sockets.Socket Socket,
   System.IO.Stream Stream
)

Parameters

Socket: The underlying socket
Stream: A stream based on that socket

Remarks

Normally this is all handled internally by DicomObjects, but this method is provided for developers who may wish to use their own listening and authorisation mechanisms

Note that only one association is allowed per TCP connection, so this does require a "new" TCP connection, though TLS negotiation etc. may of course have been performed.

Example

int port = 104;
TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, port);
listener.Start();
            
while (true)
{
    // Step 1: Accept a new TCP connection
    TcpClient client = listener.AcceptTcpClient();
    Console.WriteLine("New connection accepted.");
            
    // Step 2: Get the underlying socket and network stream
    Socket socket = client.Client;
    NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
            
    // Step 3: Pass the connection to DICOM for association negotiation
    Server.Accept(socket, stream);

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET CLR 4.8 or higher
