Continue capture after break with pcap.net

Question

I am working with pcap.net.

I have a communicator that recieves packets. At some point I call the Break() function to stop the capture. after I stopped the capture, I want to continue the capture at some point..

I tried using the RecievePackets(HandlePacket, 0) again, but my GUI froze.. my code:

private void StartCapture()
{
    _Communicator.RecievePackets(HandlePacket, 0);
}

private void StopCapture()
{
    _Communicator.Break();
}

any help?? thanks

I don't see the code of your GUI, but ReceivePackets() is a blocking call and will hold your thread.

If you're doing this inside the GUI thread, it will freeze your GUI. You should do it in a different thread.
