Methods

  Name Description
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone BeginJoinGroup Binds the socket and begins a join operation to the multicast group to allow datagrams to be received from a single source address.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone BeginReceiveFromSource Begins the operation of receiving a packet from the joined multicast group and invokes the specified callback when a packet has arrived on the group from a specified sender.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone BeginSendToSource Begins the operation of sending a unicast packet to the source previously specified.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Dispose Leaves the multicast group and releases all resources used by the current instance of the UdpSingleSourceMulticastClient class and the underlying Socket.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone EndJoinGroup Completes the asynchronous join group operation to a multicast group.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone EndReceiveFromSource Completes the asynchronous operation of receiving a packet from the joined multicast group and provides the information received from a specified sender.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone EndSendToSource Completes the operation of sending a unicast packet to a single source.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)

In Silverlight for Windows Phone, this member is overridden by Finalize().
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The multicast group address and sender source address must be known.

In addition to receiving multicast data from a specific sender, the UdpSingleSourceMulticastClient client can also send unicast data back to the sender.

To receive multicast from multiple sources, or when the sources aren't known in advance, use the UdpAnySourceMulticastClient class instead.
