What is the proper way to close a C# Socket in .NET Core 3.1?

Question

The Issue

I am trying to handle disconnection for my app and whatever approach I have tried so far has failed, I tried to disconnect from server side, I tried to disconnect from client side but receiving issues on both ends, What I am trying to achieve here is to disconnect the app through a QUIT command without having to close it from the close icon as it throws an exception

This is the error I have received

Unhandled exception. System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket'. at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags, SocketError& errorCode) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at MessengerConsole.Client.clientReceiver() in C:\Users\MessengerConsoleAppV2\MessengerConsole\Client.cs:line 42 at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

I tried using Socket.Disconnect(), Socket.Close(), Socket.Dispose() and all of them yield same result

EDIT:

adding return in the

if(Encoding.Default.GetString(sdata) == "QUIT")
            {
                serverSocket.Send(sdata, sdata.Length, 0);
                serverSocket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);
                serverSocket.Close();
                return;
            }

Results in no errors on the server side but the client still throws the exception of the disposed object being accessed

Answer 1

In all places of code related to QUIT you only closing and disposing socket, but not returning from infinite loop serving this socket. I think this stack is thrown on next iteration when Connected property is evaluated on disposed socket, try adding return statement after you close socket.
