    // of course there are other ways to marshal up this byte array, this is just one way
    // call WSAIoctl via IOControl

    // .net 1.1 type
    //int SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS = -1744830460; //(or 0x98000004)
    //socket.IOControl(SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS, inOptionValues, null); 

    // .net 3.5 type
    tcpc.Client.IOControl(IOControlCode.KeepAliveValues, inOptionValues, null);
}

Example

TcpClient t = new TcpClient();
t.SetSocketKeepAliveValues(300000, 1000);
