As I already explained, if you do not perform any operations on the socket,
the client will have to way of knowing what the socket status is. You must
perform a read or write operation in order for the socket status to be
queried.

That is not thread-safe.

Are you performing any operations on the client AFTER the server disconnects
it, though? Your server is still not sending any data back to the client,
and I don't see you doing any reading operations on the client side.
Writting to a socket that was disconnected will set the ClosedGracefully
property to true and raise an exception.

No.
