Remove all pending connections from the listener Queue

Question

I am working on a console server app that listens on a port for a incoming connections. Every time I restart the console app, it has a pending connection queue which is causing the console server app to crash.

Is there a way to remove all pending connections in the queue before accepting new connections ?

Causes it to crash how? The pending connection queue does not survive the closing of the listening socket. Post your problem, not your diagnosis. — user207421, Sep 25 '12 at 12:11

Your server app needs to set SO_REUSEADDR socket option:

server_socket.SetSocketOption( SocketOptionLevel.Socket,
    SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, true );

to be able to bind the listening port after restart.
