This class monitors a service by specifying a service name or a network address. The listener does not listen until you call the Start method.
The following code example creates a connection, with the IrDAEndPoint class, and starts listening for incoming requests from that device. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IrDAClient class.
' Create a connection, with the IrDAEndPoint class,
' for the selected device in the list box.
' Start listening for incoming requests from
' that device with an IrDAListener object.
Try
Dim i As Integer = ListBox1.SelectedIndex
irEndP = New IrDAEndPoint(irDevices(i).DeviceID, irServiceName)
irListen = New IrDAListener(irEndP)
irListen.Start()
Catch exSoc As SocketException
MsgBox("Couldn't listen on service " & irServiceName & ": " _
& exSoc.ErrorCode)
End Try
// Create a connection, with the IrDAEndPoint class,
// for the selected device in the list box.
// Start listening for incoming requests from
// that device with an IrDAListener object.
try
{
int i = listBox1.SelectedIndex;
irEndP = new IrDAEndPoint(irDevices[i].DeviceID,
irServiceName);
irListen = new IrDAListener(irEndP);
irListen.Start();
}
catch(SocketException exSoc)
{
MessageBox.Show("Couldn't listen on service "
+ irServiceName + ": "
+ exSoc.ErrorCode);
