Close the channel.

Release the resources held by this object, and close the channel if it is still open.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Send a message on the message channel. The message is sent asynchronously. The method does not wait for a response before returning. It usually completes quickly because it only waits for local TCP implementation to accept the bytes into its network data buffer. However, this message could block briefly for longer messages, and/or if the network data buffer is nearly full. It could even block indefinitely if the remote site is slow to read.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.
