There’s no more to say but the Client source code, red words.
We must indicate the port of the UdpClient, otherwise, it will pop errors.
code:
UdpClient udpClient = new UdpClient(11000);
At the outset, i don’t indicate the port, so when i debug the code, there’s nothing happen on client side.
Source code disassembled by Red Gate’s .Net Reflector of the UdpClient:
1: public UdpClient(int port) : this(port, AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
2: { 3: }
1: public UdpClient(int port, AddressFamily family)
2: { 3: IPEndPoint point;
4: this.m_Buffer = new byte[0x10000];
5: this.m_Family = AddressFamily.InterNetwork;
6: if (!ValidationHelper.ValidateTcpPort(port))
7: { 8: throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("port"); 9: }
10: if ((family != AddressFamily.InterNetwork) && (family != AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6))
11: { 12: throw new ArgumentException(SR.GetString("net_protocol_invalid_family"), "family"); 13: }
14: this.m_Family = family;
15: if (this.m_Family == AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
16: { 17: point = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port);
18: }
19: else
20: { 21: point = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.IPv6Any, port);
22: }
23: this.createClientSocket();
24: this.Client.Bind(point);
25: }
You will find that the UdpClient need a port to bind to to listen the IPENDPOINT.
