Hi,
How can i get unused/available port in the local system using C# ?
Or
Is there any way to find out whether the particular port number is
being used by any other application using C#?
Thanks

How can i get unused/available port in the local system using C# ?
Thinking ip socket, you should *havent tried this in c#* know remote
port/ip and that should suffice,
if you are writing a server, anything under 1024 is taken for some
thing but antything over is for grabs...
as long as noone else already got it and then there is a problem,
they got your ip but not talking to the right program ;)
so find out what is never used under 1024 and grab that
or take a high number and start your server at boot and both solutions
should work...
but be aware of the firewalls

Hi,
Thank you for your reply,
But I need to get a random unused port number.
How can I get this unused port number Or How can I check whether the
port number is under usage or not?
thanks

It would be better if you could explain what the higher-level goal is.
That said, if you don't care what the port is, you should simply not
specify it. Or rather, specify 0 for the port. Winsock (on which the
..NET Socket class is built) will simply pick a port for you in that case.
In most cases, you don't even need to bind the socket explicitly. Just
create your socket and use it (connect for TCP, any send for UDP) and it
will automatically be bound, to an available port.

Hi,
Thank for the early reply.
I need to start a server using WCF service using netTcpbinding with IP
address & unused port number on the local machine.
After successfully starting the server I will public my IP address &
portnumber to a messaging mechanism
which will be picked by the clients. Now clients will create a proxy
class for that WCF service using the IP address & port number and
can do the operation.
thanks

How will you "public" your IP address? The "messaging mechanism" should
be simply looking at your endpoint address as _it_ sees it, rather than
relying on any information from you.
Assuming that's the case, simply specifying 0 as the port # will work
fine. The "messaging mechanism" will, on receiving any communications
from your server, be able to identify your actual address and use it
correctly. Assuming it's well-designed, that is.

Instead of me arbitrarily assigning a high port number to a variable, is
it possible to check for ports that are unused and then randomly assign
one of them to a variable? Something like this is what I'm thinking:
port = socket.getunusedport()
Any ideas?

Hello,
I want to periodically send a TCP packet to a peer, always from the same
source port. That is, each packet will come from my local ip address, port
8801, and go to the peer's ip address, to HIS port 8801.
This means that I need to bind my sender socket to (myaddress,8801), use it
for the send, then shut it down and close it. Then I want to wait, say 30
seconds, and do it all over again. Naturally, the socket's ReuseAddress...

Hi,
I try to implement a reusable socket class to send and receive data.
It seems to work but I have 2 problems :
1) I rely on Socket.Available to detect that the connection is closed (no
more data to expect). Sometimes, Socket.Available returns 0 but the other
end of the connection did not close it !
2) This class will be used by many other classes so I have to use the

Hello,
Is there a way, in .NET, to determine what are the avialable Serial
(Communications) Ports on a Windows OS and is there a way to determine
that port isn't being use other than attempting to opening the Serial
Port and catching the associated exception? Thanks
If there isn't a way to determine the Serial Port within .NET I would
be willing, I guess, to use a WinAPI is that was the only way.
