# Disconnect

```csharp
void Disconnect()
```

* **Description:**\
  The `Disconnect()` method is used to terminate the connection of the socket client. When this method is called, the client disconnects from the server and stops communication. After the connection is terminated, the client can no longer send or receive messages. This method runs asynchronously and completes when the disconnection process is finished.
* **Parameters:**\
  This method does not take any parameters.
* **Returns:**\
  This method does not return any value. It simply terminates the connection.

***

**Functionality:**

When the `Disconnect()` method is called, the client attempts to close the connection to the server. After the connection is terminated, the `OnConnectionChanged` event is triggered, and the connection status is updated. This event is used to indicate whether the disconnection was successful or not.

* **For TCP Clients:** When the connection is successfully closed, the client can no longer send or receive messages.
* **For UDP Clients:** While UDP is a connectionless protocol, the `Disconnect()` method forces the client to stop participating in message exchange with the server.

***

**Important Notes:**

* After disconnection, the client cannot send or receive any data.
* The `IsConnected` property will return `false` after the connection is terminated.
* To reconnect, the `Connect()` method must be called again.

***

**Usages:**

```csharp
socketClient.OnConnectionChanged += (isConnected) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(isConnected ? "Connected." : "Disconnected.");
};

socketClient.Disconnect();
```

The `Disconnect()` method terminates the connection between the client and the server, stopping all communication. After disconnection, the client cannot perform message operations, and the `OnConnectionChanged` event is triggered. To reconnect, the `Connect()` method must be called again.
