David,
Good idea...
The code below is a sample from the VS help... very straight forward. No
default host is set with the connect method so it should receive from any
host... it doesn't
It bangs out saying:
---------
System.Net.Sock ets.SocketExcep tion: Invalid Argument
at System.Net.Sock ets.Socket.Rece iveFrom(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset,
Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags, EndPoint& remoteEP)
at System.Net.Sock ets.Socket.Rece iveFrom(Byte[] buffer, Int32 size,
SocketFlags socketFlags, EndPoint& remoteEP)
at System.Net.Sock ets.UdpClient.R eceive(IPEndPoi nt& remoteEP)
---------
********
Private Function MicrosoftSample () As Integer
'Creates a UdpClient for reading incoming data.
Dim receivingUdpCli ent As New UdpClient
'Creates an IPEndPoint to record the IP address and port number of
the sender.
' The IPEndPoint will allow you to read datagrams sent from any
source.
Dim RemoteIpEndPoin t As New IPEndPoint(IPAd dress.Any, 0)
Try
' Blocks until a message returns on this socket from a remote
host.
Dim receiveBytes As [Byte]() =
receivingUdpCli ent.Receive(Rem oteIpEndPoint)
Dim returnData As String = Encoding.ASCII. GetString(recei veBytes)
Console.WriteLi ne(("This is the message you received " +
returnData.ToSt ring()))
Console.WriteLi ne(("This message was sent from " +
RemoteIpEndPoin t.Address.ToStr ing() + " on their port number " +
RemoteIpEndPoin t.Port.ToString ()))
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLi ne(e.ToString() )
End Try
End Function
*******
If I create an instance of an IPEndpoint and set it to the remotehost, this
occurs just the same. If I first use the connect method to set the default
host, the code hangs in the receive method as if there is nothing to receive.
(I KNOW that is not true)
