So your client is non-blocking. If it was blocking then your client could
do a ReadBufer() rigth after the WriteBuffer(). At least if the server
will send always after it received a message from the client.

You mean your thread's Execute() method ?

You can call it in the Execute() method.

How does the server behave ? Does it send only and always something
after a request from the client. Or does it also send data at
own initiative ? Is that where you want to call it 'sometimes' ?
