TcpListener

Synopsis

This class provides a server-side abstraction of the sockets API. The TcpListener is constructed with a local address and port to which it is automatically bound. A call to Start( ) initiates listening for connection requests. When a request is received, either AcceptSocket( ) or AcceptTcpClient( ) accepts the connection and returns a Socket or a TcpClient you can use to exchange data with the remote client.
