Socket.BeginReceiveMessageFrom Method

public IAsyncResult BeginReceiveMessageFrom (
	byte[] buffer,
	int offset,
	int size,
	SocketFlags socketFlags,
	ref EndPoint remoteEP,
	AsyncCallback callback,
	Object state
)

public IAsyncResult BeginReceiveMessageFrom (
	byte[] buffer, 
	int offset, 
	int size, 
	SocketFlags socketFlags, 
	/** @ref */ EndPoint remoteEP, 
	AsyncCallback callback, 
	Object state
)

JScript does not support passing value-type arguments by reference.

Parameters

buffer

An array of type Byte that is the storage location for the received data.

offset

The zero-based position in the buffer parameter at which to store the data.

size

The number of bytes to receive.

socketFlags

A bitwise combination of the SocketFlags values.

remoteEP

An EndPoint that represents the source of the data.

callback

The AsyncCallback delegate.

state

An object that contains state information for this request.

Return Value

The asynchronous receive operation must be completed by calling the EndReceiveMessageFrom method. Typically, the method is invoked by the asyncCallback delegate.

This method does not block until the operation completes. To block until the operation completes, use the ReceiveMessageFrom method.

To cancel a pending BeginReceiveMessageFrom, call the Close method.

This method reads data into the buffer parameter, and captures the remote host endpoint from which the data is sent, as well as information about the received packet. For information on how to retrieve this endpoint, refer to EndReceiveFrom. This method is most useful if you intend to asynchronously receive connectionless datagrams from an unknown host or multiple hosts.

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

Note
This member outputs trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing.

Note
The execution context (the security context, the impersonated user, and the calling context) is cached for the asynchronous Socket methods. After the first use of a particular context (a specific asynchronous Socket method, a specific Socket instance, and a specific callback), subsequent uses of that context will see a performance improvement.
