UDP - Receiving in background

Hi.

It has been a REALLY long time so I would appreciate guidance here.
I am using UDPClient to send and receive data.
I have a simple example working but its lifetime is only for 1 time where I can send data and then receive and that's it.

I want the application to be able to continuously receive data in the background (without blocking but processing any data coming through from a server).
How would I do this? I HATE to use a while(true) approach and NO Thread.Sleep code either.

I welcome any advice here to be able to continuously receive data in the background (and still be able to send data)

Thanks!

In my chatting program I've used an infinite loop for retrieving UDP packets and it is on a different thread.

Code:

---

private void WaitForPockets()
{
    for (; ; )
    {
        try
        {
            byte[] data = client.Receive(ref receivePoint);
            string receivedMessage = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data);

                NewMessageEventArgs e = new NewMessageEventArgs(Environment.NewLine + receivedMessage);
            //Raise event new message
            OnNewMessage(e);
        }
        catch (Exception exc)
        {
            Logger.LogException(exc);
            this.SetStatusBar("Error receiving message from " + Dns.GetHostEntry(receivePoint.Address.ToString()).HostName);
        }
    }
}

---

Code:

---

try
{
    client = new UdpClient(_port);
    receivePoint = new IPEndPoint(new IPAddress(0), 0);
    Thread readThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.WaitForPockets));
    readThread.Start();
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
    Logger.LogException(exc);
}
