Question about UdpClient sample
' This constructor arbitrarily assigns the local port number.
Dim udpClient As New UdpClient()
Try
udpClient.Conne ct("www.contoso .com", 11000)
' Sends a message to the host to which you have connected.
Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII. GetBytes("Is anybody there?")
udpClient.Send( sendBytes, sendBytes.Lengt h)
' Sends message to a different host using optional hostname and port
parameters.
Dim udpClientB As New UdpClient()
udpClientB.Send (sendBytes, sendBytes.Lengt h, "AlternateHostM achineName",
11000)
'Blocks until a message returns on this socket from a remote host.
Dim RemoteIpEndPoin t As New IPEndPoint(IPAd dress.Any, 0)
' Blocks until a message returns on this socket from a remote host.
Dim receiveBytes As [Byte]() = udpClient.Recei ve(RemoteIpEndP oint)
Dim returnData As String = Encoding.ASCII. GetString(recei veBytes)
I was wondering what is the reason that when we need to receive
a message from a remote host we do IPAddress.Any,0
i.e why do we wait at port 0 rather than 11000, which is where
we sent to? 2 2650
Your RemoteIpEndPoin t (with IPAddress.Any, port 0) is used only as a byref
parameter - that is, it is filled in with the actual IPAddress and port that
the data came from. So you're not listening on port 0. That's just a value
you're passing to a constructor because UdpClient.Recei ve takes a
constructed IPEndPoint - it's not actually used. If you want to limit the
host that you can accept UDP traffic from, specify that in the Connect
method (which you seem to havedone)

Philip,
You're obviously getting this to work... I've tried everything to get this
sample to work but I never receive anything. Both pc-s are connected ok; ping
works both ways and a udp test program gets messages across both ways. When I
use the Send method I get messages across fine. Receive only gives me
trouble. I copied the example from HELP. It throws an exception telling me I
'm feeding it an invalid argument...
It all lookde straight forward but I'm getting desparate

Hi
The project I'm currently working on involves sending large UDP broadcasts.
As the .NET framework already provides an easy facility for sending and
receiving UDP packets I thought it was a good idea to use UdpClient rather
than sockets directly. A few weeks back I ended up rewriting the receiver
part to use sockets directly because I had to manipulate some low level
socket properties, and those manipulations would fail on the...

are never received (no exceptions). If I use a normal socket configured to

Below is my sample code. It is only test code - I know the...

Hi,
I'm trying to get a simple UdpClient app working. I've been looking at the

another IP address I get multiple exception, the first one being "The
requested address is not valid in its context". I get this when I create my
UdpClient(iplistener) where iplistener is an IPEndPoint. It doesn't...

In VB.NET 2003, is there a way to create a System.Net.Sockets.UDPClient
to listen to any address AND any port?
I can get it to listen to any address, but only if I specify a port (for
example, port 12345):
'-----------
Dim udpClient as New Sockets.UdpClient(12345)
Dim ipEndPoint as New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0)

Suppose:
There are two devices on my network that both broadcast UDP datagrams
(and they both use the same portnumber 1234).
I want to create two executables that use UdpClient internally. Each
executable should only receive the datagrams from one device. Is this
possible?
Lets say the devices are 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. I have already tried
something like this:
UdpClient udpClient = new UdpClient(1234);
