I am trying to figure out why the client component of the array below is out of range. I know this happens when the element of an array that you are trying to access doesn't exist but I am new to Socket Programming and trying to write my first UDP script but not sure how to deal with it.
Client side code causing error at the args[0]:
class EmployeeUDPClient{
public static void Main(string[] args){
UdpClient udpc = new UdpClient(args[0],2055); //Line causing error
IPEndPoint ep = null;
while(true){
Console.Write("Name: ");
string name = Console.ReadLine();
if(name == "") break;
byte[] sdata = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(name);
udpc.Send(sdata,sdata.Length);
byte[] rdata = udpc.Receive(ref ep);
string job = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(rdata);
Console.WriteLine(job);
}
}
}
This is the server side code which runs fine:
class EmployeeUDPServer{
public static void Main(){
UdpClient udpc = new UdpClient(2055);
Console.WriteLine("Server started, servicing on port 2055");
IPEndPoint ep = null;
while(true){
byte[] rdata = udpc.Receive(ref ep);
string name = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(rdata);
string job = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[name];
if(job == null) job = "No such employee";
byte[] sdata = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(job);
udpc.Send(sdata,sdata.Length,ep);
}
}
}
Any thoughts on why I get this error? I am running the 2 scripts on the same computer so could that be the reason?
