System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect Method

Connects the client to a remote TCP host using the specified IP address and port number.

Syntax

public void Connect (System.Net.IPAddress address, int port)

Parameters

address
The System.Net.IPAddress of the host to which you intend to connect.
port
The port number to which you intend to connect.

Remarks

Call this method to establish a synchronous remote host connection to the specified System.Net.IPAddress and port number. The TcpClient.Connect(string, int) method will block until it either connects or fails. After connecting with the remote host, use the TcpClient.GetStream method to obtain the underlying System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream. Use this System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream to send and receive data.

Note:

If you receive a System.Net.Sockets.SocketException, use SocketException.ErrorCode to obtain the specific error code. After you have obtained this code, you can refer to the Windows Sockets version 2 API error code documentation in MSDN 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 [<topic://conUsingNetworkTracing>].
