TcpClient getting disposed automatically

Question

Using using (NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream()) Causes the socket to close.

Answer 1

I believe this is the problem:

using (NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream())

That is automatically closing the stream at the end of the block, which in turn (I believe) closes the socket. The documentation is frankly unclear on this - it says that closing the TcpClient doesn't close the stream, but it doesn't say for sure about closing the stream...
