Hello Hardik,

You are trying to read over a raw socket. Without any particular protocol it will be very difficult for you to read the correct data. If you read the documentation of GetStream.Read method you will realize that, it's merely reads the specified number of bytes. If your data length is less than ReceiveBufferSize then you are going to receive the full data otherwise you are going to receive the partial data upto ReceiveBufferSize. For you to be able to read the entire message it's very important that you either know the entire message length .e.g first 4 bytes of your message represents the total message length or you devise an agreement (protocol) such that all your messages are terminated by two CrLf (e.g. HTTP Protocl). This way you will be able to wrap your read code in a while loop and be able to read the entire message.

Regards,
