VB.net UDP

[|2eM!x]

I cant find ANY thing on UDP help for vb.net. The .recieve method is always blocking, and I never get a response back. The only things on this forum are posts like "If you searched you could find an example posted a million times!" however the sample doesnt exist!

ANY help on a UDP packet to an IP address is greatly appreciated.

Anybody? I havent found a single UDP sample that works anywhere yet.

The receive method is always blocking so you will either want to use the BeginReceive method or thread the Receive method.

Here is an example using threading...

Module Module1
 
    Delegate Sub dDataReceived(ByVal Data As String)
 
    Sub Main()
 
        Dim UDPWorker As New Worker
        Dim tWorker As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf UDPWorker.Start)
 
        tWorker.Start()
 
        Console.WriteLine("UDP Client is listening...Press Enter to exit.")
        Console.ReadLine()
 
        UDPWorker.Active = False
        End
 
    End Sub
 
 
  
End Module
 
 
Public Class Worker
    Public Active As Boolean = True
 
    Private udpClient As New Net.Sockets.UdpClient(9999)
 
    Public Sub Start()
 
        Do While Active
            Dim Data() As Byte = udpClient.Receive(New Net.IPEndPoint(Net.IPAddress.Any, 0))
            Console.WriteLine(Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Data))
        Loop
 
    End Sub
End Class
