Need some urgent help please!!

[Tom Rahav]

Hello All!

I need to extract Socket object from a TcpClient object, in order to get
client's IP address.
I've found the following article that describes how to derive from TcpClient
class and use the Client property (that I need so much...!).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...lienttopic.asp
I created such class (as described) but I failed to use it...
My current code is:

oTcpClient = oTcpListener.AcceptTcpClient();

I tried to cast the oTcpClient to the new derived class (named
clsAdvancedTCPClient), but I got an error: "This cast is not valid"
Can someone explain me please how can I get the requested Client property
from the TcpClient object?

Thanks in advanced!
Tom Rahav.

My current code is:

You could use reflection to get hold of it. If you move to v2 or .Net the
property is public.

Hi,

What you did? the line of code gives no clues, All I can think of it that
oTcpClient is an instance of your derived class. If so that is why you are
getting the error.

The difference with the example and your situation is that it's
Listener.AcceptTcpClient the one that is creating the instance, therefore he
knows nothing about your new class. so you cannot cast it as you want.
IMO, the only way is to use reflection :( , not a very clear solution but
it's the only available now.

IIRC in 2.0 Client is public
cheers,
