LS,

I was planning on writing a wrapper around the System.Net.Sockets.Socket class, because I didn't feel like using the SSLStream class because I wanted to maintain backwards compatibility with other programs.

I found an article which does exactly what I want, but on Windows Mobile. (Link: Enable SSL for managed socket on windows mobile)

Quote:

My first surprise was that SetSocketOption takes a SocketOptionName enum value as the second parameter, but this enum doesn’t have the equivalent of SO_SECURE. However, C# was nice enough to let me cast an arbitrary integer value to the enum I needed.

I tried to do the same, but it doesn't work.

Code:

private const ushort SO_SECURE = 0x2001;
private const ushort SO_SEC_SSL = 0x2004;
this.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, (SocketOptionName) SO_SECURE, SO_SEC_SSL);

Error:

An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call

Is there a way to work around this?

Kind regards,

Matthias Vance
