get the IP and port from EndPoint

get the IP and port from EndPoint

  Cast it to IPEndPoint and you have the Address property.

  IPAddress address = ((IPEndPoint)socket.RemoteEndPoint).Address;

  "I get the EndPoint from the connected udp socket"

  The socket is never really "connected" because UPD is a connectionless protocol unlike TCP.

  the above code works wonderful, thanks a ton

  Try the following code:

  EndPoint client = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);

  int bytes = udp_client.ReceiveFrom(buffer, ref client);

  string port = ((IPEndPoint)client).Port.ToString()

  The reason is you cannot use RemoteEndPoint on a UDP socket.

  I keep geting this error

  "A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and(when sending on a datagram socket using sendto call) no address was supplied"

  here is the code

  EndPoint client = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);

  int bytes = udp_client.ReceiveFrom(buffer, ref client);

  IPAddress address = ((IPEndPoint)udp_client.RemoteEndPoint).Address;(this is where the error is thrown

  string port = ((IPEndPoint)udp_client.RemoteEndPoint).Port.ToString()

  
  

• cdznr

  theSocketConnected.RemoteEndPoint.ToString();
  
  and you will get somthing like this:
  
  82.77.78.153:2345
