Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example sends a connectionless datagram to the specified remote host. The offset, size, and SocketFlags are passed to the SendTo method.

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Note   This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of SendTo. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Shared Sub SendTo4()
    Dim hostEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName())
    Dim endPoint As New IPEndPoint(hostEntry.AddressList(0), 11000)
    
    Dim s As New Socket(endPoint.Address.AddressFamily, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp)
    
    Dim msg As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("This is a test")
    Console.WriteLine("Sending data.")
    ' This call blocks. 
    s.SendTo(msg, 0, msg.Length, SocketFlags.None, endPoint)
    s.Close()
End Sub 'SendTo4



[C#] 
public static void SendTo4()
{
    IPHostEntry hostEntry = Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName());
    IPEndPoint endPoint = new IPEndPoint(hostEntry.AddressList[0], 11000);

    Socket s = new Socket(endPoint.Address.AddressFamily,
        SocketType.Dgram,
        ProtocolType.Udp);
  
    byte[] msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("This is a test");
    Console.WriteLine("Sending data.");
    // This call blocks. 
    s.SendTo(msg, 0, msg.Length, SocketFlags.None, endPoint);
    s.Close();
}


[C++] 
static void SendTo4()
{
    IPHostEntry* hostEntry = Dns::Resolve(Dns::GetHostName());
    IPEndPoint* endPoint = new IPEndPoint(hostEntry->AddressList[0], 11000);

    Socket* s = new Socket(endPoint->Address->AddressFamily,
        SocketType::Dgram,
        ProtocolType::Udp);
  
    Byte msg[]= Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes(S"This is a test");
    Console::WriteLine(S"Sending data.");
    // This call blocks. 
    s->SendTo(msg, 0, msg.Length, SocketFlags::None, endPoint);
    s->Close();
}
