Hello,
I'm using .NET synchronous socket to send data from a client to server.
I need to get the data from the StartListening() method to use it in the Main() but
the variable data is inside an infinite loop ( while(true)).
Any help please?
This is the server code :

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;


public class SynchronousSocketListener
{

    byte[] bytes = new Byte[1024];
    IPHostEntry ipHostInfo;
    IPAddress ipAddress ;
    IPEndPoint localEndPoint;

    Socket listener;
   // Incoming data from the client.
    public static string data = null;

    // Volatile is used as hint to the compiler that this data
    // member will be accessed by multiple threads.
    private volatile bool _shouldStop;

    public  void InitializeListening()
    {
        // Data buffer for incoming data.
 
        // Establish the local endpoint for the socket.
        // Dns.GetHostName returns the name of the 
        // host running the application.
         ipHostInfo = Dns.Resolve("localhost");
         ipAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList[0];
         localEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 11007);

        // Create a TCP/IP socket.
        listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
        listener.Bind(localEndPoint);
        listener.Listen(10);
    }

    public void StopListening()
    {
        _shouldStop = true;
        byte[] msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("please stop!");
        // Create a TCP/IP  socket.
        Socket sender = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
            SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
            // Connect the socket to the remote endpoint. Catch any errors.
            try {
                sender.Connect(localEndPoint);
                // Send the data through the socket.
                int bytesSent = sender.Send(msg);
                // Release the socket.
                sender.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);
                sender.Close();
            }
            catch (ArgumentNullException ane)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ArgumentNullException : {0}", ane.ToString());
            }
            catch (SocketException se)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("SocketException : {0}", se.ToString());
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Unexpected exception : {0}", e.ToString());
            } 
    }

    public  void StartListening()

        // listen for incoming connections.
