- count
Type: System.Int32
The maximum number of bytes to receive and store in the buffer.
- callback
Type: System.AsyncCallback

Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | buffer is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
ArgumentOutOfRangeException | offset is less than 0 -or- offset is greater than the length of the buffer. -or- count is less than 0 -or- offset plus the count is greater than the length of the buffer. |
InvalidOperationException | The multicast group has not yet been joined. |
ObjectDisposedException | The UdpAnySourceMulticastClient has been disposed. |
SocketException | An error occurred when attempting to access the socket for sending. See the Remarks section for more information. |
Remarks
The BeginReceiveFromGroup method begins an operation of receiving a UDP packet from the joined multicast group from any sender. The local port and multicast group address are specified in the UdpAnySourceMulticastClient constructor. The multicast client must also have completed a join to the multicast group.
The method specified in the callback parameter is invoked when a packet has received.
It is possible to have a socket failure if a receive operation fails synchronously, although this is uncommon with UDP. If a socket failure occurs, a SocketException is thrown. The error received is specified as a member of the System.Net.Sockets.SocketError enumeration.
