How to solve problem "Read access denied for stream" while reading events from event store?

Get this error on following line:
var event = connection.ReadStreamEventsForwardAsync(streamid, 0, 1, false).Result;

Need to add credential for reading
var event = connection.ReadStreamEventsForwardAsync(streamid, 0, 1, false,  new UserCredentials("admin", "changeit")).Result;

How to solve problem "System.AggregateException: One or more errors occured ---> EventStore.ClientAPI.Exceptions.RetriesLimitReachedException" when try to connect to write event to Event Store?

This error happened  after downloaded Event Store 3.0.1 and tried following code for the testing

            string serverIpaddress = "127.0.0.1";
            var connection = EventStoreConnection.Create(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(serverIpaddress), 2113));
            connection.ConnectAsync().Wait();
            var myEvent = new EventData(Guid.NewGuid(), "testEvent", false,
                                        Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("some data1"),
                                        Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("some metadata"));
            connection.AppendToStreamAsync("test-stream",
                               ExpectedVersion.Any, myEvent).Wait();

On line of AppendToStreamAsync, exception throws:
 "System.AggregateException: One or more errors occured ---> EventStore.ClientAPI.Exceptions.RetriesLimitReachedException"

Cause: .NET API of Event Store goes by TCP port, which default value is 1113, http port number is 2113 by default.

Just change to            
          var connection = EventStoreConnection.Create(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(serverIpaddress), 1113));

How to check TcpListener is listening?

In TcpListener class, there is a property called Active but it a proctected one.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.active(v=vs.110).aspx

Solution:
Create a sub class from TcpListener, and expose this property by yourself.

Code example:
    public class Listener : TcpListener
    {
        public Listener(int portNumber): base(IPAddress.Any, portNumber) {}
        public bool IsAcitve
        {
            get { return this.Active; }
        }
    }
