I am implementing a game in a WPF application. I need to connect at least 10 players to a server. I have always worked with only one TcpClient and one TcpListener. Is there any way to connect a lot of clients to a server? I tried to create one thread per connection, but did not work. I have searched and I couldn`t find a simple example that could teach me how to do it.
