Check for port in use?

Is it possible to check for a port (such as port 8000) in use using VB .NET?

If so, is there any sample code around.

Thanks in advance.

Try to bind to the port, and catch the exception :)

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?

I simply create a "URL shortcut" that some staff can double-click on to initiate the process. However, because I am creating these automated tasks for...

Hi everybody! I'm want to check if a certain port is opened or closed. now I'm using try-catch to connect to the port. if it fails, it meas that the port is closed. The problem is that this method is extremely inefficient! anyone has a better idea on how to do this kind of verification? Thanks!
