TcpClient yields System.IO.FileNotFoundException ????

[Sagaert Johan]

Hi ;

Why do i get an System.IO.FileNotFoundException on this :


TcpClient cl=new TcpClient();

cl.Connect("192.168.1.80", 7777);


The connection succeeds but only after throwing an
System.IO.FileNotFoundException after some seconds.

Whats wrong ? is this a CF2.0 bug ?

Try making that first parameter an IPAddress. Connect will interpret a
string there as a host *name*, not an IP address. It's obviously figuring
it out but, if you want to speed it up, you should use your knowledge about
the parameter to pass the right type!

Could it be the CF looks for a Hosts file ?

Windows CE doesn't look for a hosts *file*, so I don't think so, but I don't
have the source, so anything is possible.
