udp_client() [5/6]

xtd::net::sockets::udp_client::udp_client	(	uint16	port,
		xtd::net::sockets::address_family	addressFamily
	)

Initializes a new instance of the xtd::net::sockets::udp_client class and binds it to the local port number provided.

Parameters

port	The port on which to listen for incoming connection attempts.
address_family	One of the xtd::net::sockets::address_family values that specifies the addressing scheme of the socket.

Exceptions

xtd::argument_exception	family is not xtd::net::sockets::address_family::inter_network or xtd::net::sockets::address_family::inter_network_v6.
xtd::net::sockets::socket_exception	An error occurred when attempting to access the underlying socket.

Remarks

This constructor creates an underlying xtd::net::sockets::socket and binds it to the port number from which you intend to communicate.

The family parameter determines whether the listener uses an IP version 4 address (IPv4) or an IP version 6 (IPv6) address. To use an IPv4 address, pass the xtd::net::sockets::address_family::inter_network value. To use an IPv6 address, pass the xtd::net::sockets::address_family::inter_network_v6 value. Passing any other value will cause the method to throw an xtd::argument_exception.

If this constructor is used, the xtd::net::sockets::udp_client instance is set with the address family specified by the family parameter that cannot be changed or overwritten by a connect method call with a different address family.

Note

If you receive a xtd::net::sockets::socket_exception, use the xtd::net::sockets::socket_exception::error_code property to obtain the specific error code. After you have obtained this code, refer to the Windows Sockets version 2 API error code documentation in the MSDN library for a detailed description of the error.
