UPD in VB.NET

[ninadsd]

I have the following VB6 code

-------------------------------------
Option Explicit
Const ByteCode = "ÿÿÿÿ"

Private Sub Form_Load()
wsk.Protocol = sckUDPProtocol
wsk.RemoteHost = "255.255.255.255"
wsk.RemotePort = 27015
wsk.SendData ByteCode & "infostring"
End Sub

Private Sub wsk_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim strReceived As String
wsk.GetData strReceived
MsgBox (strReceived)
End Sub
---------------------------------------

I get the required result. I was trying the same in VB.NET but
unsuccessful.

---------------------------------------
Dim udpClient As New UdpClient
Const ByteCode = "ÿÿÿÿ"
udpClient.Connect("255.255.255.255", 27015)
Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(ByteCode &
"infostring")
udpClient.Send(sendBytes, sendBytes.Length)
Dim RemoteIpEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0)
Dim receiveBytes As [Byte]() =
udpClient.Receive(RemoteIpEndPoint)
Dim returnData As String =
Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receiveBytes)
----------------------------------------

But the 2nd last line blocks the program. Please help.

don't you have to studio vb to work with? try download the 2005 express vb
from msdn
once you have installed that, all you have to do is open a new project as
console app and fill the blank

Hint, I suspect you need sub main. in addition to your sub form_load,
DataArrival
