Namespace: System.Net.Sockets
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

Syntax

public int ReceiveFrom (
         byte[] buffer,
         intsize,
         SocketFlagssocketFlags,
         ref EndPointremoteEP
)

buffer
An array in which the received data is placed.
size
The size of the buffer array, in bytes. If the number of bytes received is greater than the size of the buffer array, the data is truncated so that it fits in the array.
socketFlags
Bit flags that control the socket's behavior for sending and receiving data. The value of this parameter is a bitwise combination of members of the SocketFlags enumeration.
remoteEP
An EndPoint object that, when this method returns a value, specifies the address of the socket from which the data was received.

The number of bytes received, if the call was successful; otherwise, -1.
