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 InterNetwork value. To use an IPv6 address, pass the InterNetworkV6 value. Passing any other value will cause the method to throw an ArgumentException.

If you receive a SocketException, use SocketException.ErrorCode to obtain the specific error code. Once you have obtained this code, you can refer to the Windows Sockets version 2 API error code documentation in MSDN for a detailed description of the error. |
