How to get the stream from StreamSocket

Question

I am developing Metro Client- Server application and in the client I use StreamSocket to connect to the listening server. Then I try to use a StreamWriter to send data to the Server. The problem is that when I am creating the new StreamWriter object I need to give him a stream argument. In my case I need to give him the Stream from the StreamSocket. Here is what I am talking about:

   private StreamWriter swSender;


   private StreamSocket tcpServer;

When attempting to send data:

   swSender = new StreamWriter(????);
   swSender.WriteLine(mytext);
   swSender.Flush();

???? must be the Stream from tcpServer, but there is not a GetStream() method like in TcpClient() class from the older framework. Any workarounds? Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

If i'm not mistake he have InputStream and OutputStream

and then

async private void WaitForData(StreamSocket socket)
{
 var dr = new DataReader(socket.InputStream);
 //dr.InputStreamOptions = InputStreamOptions.Partial;
 var stringHeader = await dr.LoadAsync(4);
 if (stringHeader == 0)
 {
    // disconnected
    return;
 }

 int strLength = dr.ReadInt32();
 uint numStrBytes = await dr.LoadAsync((uint)strLength);
 string msg = dr.ReadString(numStrBytes);
 WaitForData(socket);
}

EDIT

So you need something like this

IBuffer buffer = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(text,   BinaryStringEncoding.Utf8);
tcpServer.OutputStream.WriteAsync(buffer);
