Async UDP socket

Azmodan

Hi,
I modified the standard "Asyncronous clinet socket sample" from the MSDN
(ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003APR.1033/cpguide/html/cpconnon-blockingclientsocketexample.htm)
to run with UDP protocol instead of TCP. And it doesn't receive anything
(although with a packet viewer I see that there was a response).

Can someone tell me why I get no answer at all?

here is the sample(console application - this should receive a response
from every SQL server in the LAN):


using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Text;

// State object for receiving data from remote device.
public class StateObject
{
// Client socket.
public Socket workSocket = null;
// Size of receive buffer.
public const int BufferSize = 256;
// Receive buffer.
public byte[] buffer = new byte[BufferSize];
// Received data string.
public StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
}

public class AsynchronousClient
{
// The port number for the remote device.
private const int port = 11000;

// ManualResetEvent instances signal completion.

UDP Sockets are connectionless. Try using SendTo and ReceiveFrom instead of
Connect/Send/Receive.
