Parameters
- server
- Remote hostname or address in dot notation.
- serverPort
- Remote port, a number between 1 and 65535, inclusive.
- client
- Optional local hostname or address in dot notation. Use "" as default.
- clientPort
- Optional local port, a number between 1 and 65535, inclusive. Use 0 as default.
Example
The following example demonstrates connecting to a server while specifying a local interface to use.
| Visual Basic | Copy Code |
|---|---|
' Connect to the server, specifying the local interface to use Tcp1.Connect("atropos", 13, "192.168.0.83", 8888) ' Since connection was to DAYTIME port (13), simply receive the time Dim seg As Segment = Tcp1.Receive() Debug.WriteLine("Time reported by server: " + seg.ToString()) | |
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
// Connect to the server, specifying the local interface to use tcp1.Connect("atropos", 13, "192.168.0.83", 8888); // Since connection was to DAYTIME port (13), simply receive the time Segment seg = tcp1.Receive(); Debug.WriteLine("Time reported by server: " + seg.ToString()); | |
Remarks
The Tcp.Connect method establishes a network connection between the specified local network interface/port and the device identified by remote network address/port. If no exception is thrown, the connection has succeeded and the Tcp.Connected property will return true after this method returns. Once the connection has been made, you can send/receive data to/from the server.
This method always blocks until the attempted connection succeeds or fails.
