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.

Visual Basic
' 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
    MessageBox.Show("Couldn't listen on service " & irServiceName & ": " _
        & exSoc.ErrorCode)
End Try
C#
// 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 + ": "
