build application with .net dll's

[EHE]

Hello

I have labview 8.2.1 program that use .net framework 2.0 dll's, under labview there no problem.

but after convert to *.exe application the communism failed (System.Net.Sockets.SocketException
    Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
    System)

1) do you know why?

2)do you know how to solve the problem?

3) what does the differents of run  under labview or runtime?

Hi Herman,

You might be able to cure this by explicitly closing the connection before your EXE terminates, anyway, there's a nice description of this error here - it seems to be an OS "feature".  The way I read this, if your EXE terminates leaving a connection open, the port will remain "reserved" for several minutes - the OS is trying to protect the port for you, not realizing you don't need it any more.  No other application - including your re-launched EXE - can use the port before the timeout.    The link describes a registry-mod allowing you to set  this OS timeout to a smaller value.

In the development environment, when you open the port, the OS allocates it to LabVIEW.exe - making it easier to reause the port while developing.  Also, there's a little vi called "Internacine Avoider.vi" used to remember what ports are already opened - so LabVIEW knows to reuse them instead of trying to open them again.

Cheers!
