I am converting a delphi program to lazarus. The Delphi program uses tclientsocket.

the on read event is


procedure TClientTestFrm.ClientSocket1Read(Sender: TObject; Socket: TCustomWinSocket);

xxxxx
begin

   buffer_len:=socket.ReceiveLength;  // so it is set on the repeat loop
  while buffer_len>0 do
    begin
    inbuffer:=@FrameData[bytes_rcvd];   // where to put the data
      block_bytes_rcvd:=(socket.ReceiveBuf(inBuffer^,buffer_len));
    bytes_rcvd:=bytes_rcvd+block_bytes_rcvd;
    if (block_bytes_rcvd<0) and (buffer_len>0)  then
     ShowMessage ('No data');

// check for sync data and react
// check for end of data and react


   buffer_len:=socket.ReceiveLength;  // is there another block
  end; //while
end;

I don't see the equivalent of the ..ReceiveLength even though the
.get requires a size input. 

how does the onRecieve and get work in lnet.

thanks very much.

Why don't you check the examples? Check the server ones

That isn't very helpful. why bother posting. If there is a clear example, I must have missed it. And if you are familiar with it you should post it or point to it. I notice that a lot of the replies on this board are not very helpful. I wonder if the posters actually know the answer or just want to post a reply...

I solved the problem. I continue reading until ".get" returns 0 bytes read. I give it a large buffer size.

This doesn't seem very elegant compared to looking at how much data needs to be read as you can with tclientsocket. And since I was porting a Delphi program I was looking for a similar method.
