Socket.EndReceiveMessageFrom Method

Ends a pending asynchronous read from a specific endpoint. This method also reveals more information about the packet than EndReceiveFrom.

Namespace:  System.Net.Sockets
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

'Declaration
Public Function EndReceiveMessageFrom ( _
	asyncResult As IAsyncResult, _
	ByRef socketFlags As SocketFlags, _
	ByRef endPoint As EndPoint, _
	<OutAttribute> ByRef ipPacketInformation As IPPacketInformation _
) As Integer
'Usage
Dim instance As Socket 
Dim asyncResult As IAsyncResult 
Dim socketFlags As SocketFlags 
Dim endPoint As EndPoint 
Dim ipPacketInformation As IPPacketInformation 
Dim returnValue As Integer 

returnValue = instance.EndReceiveMessageFrom(asyncResult, _
	socketFlags, endPoint, ipPacketInformation)

Parameters

asyncResult
Type: System.IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that stores state information and any user defined data for this asynchronous operation.

socketFlags
Type: System.Net.Sockets.SocketFlags%

A bitwise combination of the SocketFlags values for the received packet.

endPoint
Type: System.Net.EndPoint%

The source EndPoint.

ipPacketInformation
Type: System.Net.Sockets.IPPacketInformation%

The IPAddress and interface of the received packet.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If successful, the number of bytes received. If unsuccessful, returns 0.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentNullException

asyncResult is Nothing

-or-

endPoint is Nothing.

ArgumentException

asyncResult was not returned by a call to the BeginReceiveMessageFrom method.

InvalidOperationException

EndReceiveMessageFrom was previously called for the asynchronous read.

SocketException

An error occurred when attempting to access the socket. See the Remarks section for more information.

ObjectDisposedException

The Socket has been closed.

If the operation has not completed, this method blocks until it does.

To perform this operation synchronously, use the ReceiveMessageFrom method.

Examine ipPacketInformation if you need to know if the datagram was sent using a unicast, multicast, or broadcast address.
