Hi all,

I am using Indy 9.0.4. Currently I am working on TCPServer and facing problem to disconnect all connected client.

"EidClosedSocket with message 'Disconnected'" exception will show when I try to disconnect all connected client and set active to false or delete object.

tcpServer->Bindings->Items[0]->CloseSocket();
tcpServer->Active = false;

Any suggestion to gracefully disconnect all connected clients?

Thanks.

Then those clients were already disconnected, and you are already trapping 
the exception and moving on to the next client.  That is all you can do.

Before I tried with the binding, I did call DisconnectSocket for each activeThread and they have the same exception. The following are the code:
        TList *lstThread = tcpServer->Threads->LockList();
        int iConnectedClientCount = lstThread->Count;
        TIdPeerThread *AThread;
        for(int i=0; iItems[i];
                try{
                        AThread->Connection->DisconnectSocket();
                }
                catch(const Exception &e){
                        continue;
                }
        }
        tcpServer->Threads->UnlockList();

Exception shows when DisconnectSocket is called.

Set the active property to false has the same exception.

That is because you are disconnecting them wrong.  You are closing the 
Binding itself, not the clients that are connected to it.  You would have to 
loop through the entries in the server's ActiveThreads list, calling 
DisconnectSocket() on each one individually.

You should not be disconnecting them manually to begin with.  Setting the 
Active property to false by itself will internally disconnect all active 
clients for you.
