I'm trying to send a broadcast packet (dest: FF.FF.FF.FF) to the local network on port 45624, except that an exception is being thrown when the UdpClient is created. I've tried this with other addresses, including ones which aren't actually subnet masks, but it always raises that exception. Ditto for ports other than 45624.
byte[] SearchAddr = new byte[] { 255, 255, 255, 255 };
IPAddress SearchIP = new IPAddress(SearchAddr);
IPEndPoint EndPoint = new IPEndPoint(SearchIP, 45624);
UdpClient Searcher = new UdpClient(EndPoint);
byte[] SearchPacket = new byte[] { 0x34, 0x00, 0xB0, 0xFA, 0x02, 0x00, 0x08, 0xFC, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x70, 0x6C, 0x61, 0x79, 0x02, 0x00, 0x0E, 0x00, 0x20, 0x74, 0x79, 0x99,
0xF5, 0xF5, 0xCF, 0x11, 0x98, 0x27, 0x00, 0xA0, 0x24, 0x14, 0x96, 0xC8, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x81, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };
Searcher.Send(SearchPacket, SearchPacket.Length);
byte[] SearchReply = Searcher.Receive(ref EndPoint);
string ReplyText = "";
for (int I = 0; I < SearchReply.Length; I++)
ReplyText += SearchReply[I].ToString("X2") + " ";
MessageBox.Show(ReplyText);
Does anyone know what, exactly, the problem is?
