You could have another thread close the socket.

I didn't see anything in particular that would give me a solution.

&gt;&gt;You could have another thread close the socket.<br />
<br />
The program is not directly making socket connections, and instead it accesses files via a UNC path.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to programmatically cause a connection failure.<br />
In particular, I need something that would cause a failure, after the program has successfully open the file, but intermittently.<br />

<div>
If you have two computers you simply can deactivate the network connection or remove the cable.<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;and instead it accesses files via a UNC path.<br />
You'll get a file exception when closing the network connection while accessing the file. <br />

&gt;&gt;If you have two computers you simply can deactivate the network connection or remove the cable.<br />
<br />
I need something that can do this programmatically, and not manually.<br />
<br />
The failure has to be repeated many times a second.

<div>
The following command may be useful to disconnect the network....<br />
<br />
route delete 0.0.0.0<br />
<br />
OR<br />
<br />
netsh.exe interface ip set address name = &quot;Local Area Connection&quot; source = static addr = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mask = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<br />
<br />
Replace the xxxx with suitable values.<br />

</div>


<div>
How about closing the file handle [located at the UNC path] to simulate your issue, instead of disconnecting the network connection? It will be more simpler than disconnecting the network.<br />

How to programmatically cause intermittent network failure

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
