System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect Method

Connects the client to a remote TCP host using the specified remote network endpoint.

Syntax

public void Connect (System.Net.IPEndPoint remoteEP)

Parameters

remoteEP
The System.Net.IPEndPoint to which you intend to connect.

Remarks

Call this method to establish a synchronous remote host connection to the specified System.Net.IPEndPoint. Before you call TcpClient.Connect(string, int) you must create an instance of the System.Net.IPEndPoint class using an IP address and a port number. Use this System.Net.IPEndPoint as the remoteEP parameter. 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>]
