I have a system monitor app that needs to listen to messages from various UDP sockets on another machine. The other sockets continuously send heartbeats to this given IP/port.
This exception gets thrown when calling BeginReceiveFrom: "A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied"
I shouldn't have to call connect because data is already getting sent to this ip endpoint. plus the data is coming from various sockets.
private Socket m_socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// bind socket
// Establish the local endpoint for the socket.
// Dns.GetHostName returns the name of the
// host running the application.
IPHostEntry ipHostInfo = Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName());
IPAddress ipAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList[0];
m_localEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 19018);
m_socket.Bind(m_localEndPoint);
m_socket.BeginReceiveFrom(m_data,
m_nBytes,
MAX_READ_SIZE,
SocketFlags.None,
ref m_localEndPoint,
new AsyncCallback(OnReceive),
null);
}
private void OnReceive(IAsyncResult ar)
{
int nRead = m_socket.EndReceiveFrom(ar, ref m_localEndPoint);
}
