Parameters

optionLevel

One of the System.Net.Sockets.SocketOptionLevel values.

optionName

One of the System.Net.Sockets.SocketOptionName values.

optionValue

A System.Net.Sockets.LingerOption or System.Net.Sockets.MulticastOption that contains the value of the option.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentException	optionLevel, optionName, or optionValue specified an invalid value.
ArgumentNullException	optionValue is null.
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException	Note: For additional information on causes of the SocketException, see the System.Net.Sockets.SocketException class.
System.Security.SecurityException	A caller in the call stack does not have the required permissions.
ObjectDisposedException	The current instance has been disposed.

Remarks

System.Net.Sockets.Socket options determine the behavior of the current System.Net.Sockets.Socket. Use this overload to set the SocketOptionName.Linger, SocketOptionName.AddMembership, and SocketOptionName.DropMembership System.Net.Sockets.Socket options. For the SocketOptionName.Linger option, use System.Net.Sockets.Socket for the optionLevel parameter. For SocketOptionName.AddMembership and SocketOptionName.DropMembership, use SocketOptionLevel.IP. If you want to get the current value of any of the options listed above, use the Socket.GetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel, SocketOptionName) method.

Note:

If you receive a System.Net.Sockets.SocketException, use the SocketException.ErrorCode property to obtain the specific error code. After you have obtained this code, refer to the Windows Sockets version 2 API error code documentation in the MSDN library for a detailed description of the error.
