Best way to detect when when automatic reconnect will be attempted and when not

[Etuosaa]

Hi,

I need to keep attempting reconnection in both cases, when connection was lost and after server closes the connection. What would be the best way to know when automatic reconnection won't be attempted (so that I can manually connect instead)? It seems that calling ConnectAsync again when automatic reconnection is happening might lead to multiple sockets being opened.

Thank you!

there is a ReconnectionAttempts option, default value is int.MaxValue. so the maximum number of times the library will try to connect is 2147483647

there is an event: OnReconnectFailed. it will fired when couldn’t reconnect within reconnectionAttempts

for these 2 reasons, it will not automatically reconnect

• io server disconnect: call disconnect from server
• io client disconnect: call disconnect from client

private static void Socket_OnDisconnected(object sender, string e)
{
    if (e == DisconnectReason.IOServerDisconnect)
    {
        // the disconnection was initiated by the server, you need to reconnect manually
        var io = sender as SocketIO;
        io.connect();
    }
}

Thanks,

Partly related, I noticed that OnDisconnected can get called before the transport is disconnected. I was reconnecting in OnDisconnected, but that seemed to occasionally lead to a couple disconnect/reconnects. Delaying reconnect a bit helped at least in most cases. Automatic reconnect seems to be called after transport has disconnected.

Is this by design, and is there a better option to reconnect on any disconnect? I'm delaying the reconnect by a lengthy amount now, which seems to work but is a bit hacky.
