I just want to check this is possible... A server program running in my Azure VM will use the UdpClient class to broadcast logging information using a chosen port. It doesn't know anything about who might want to listen.
Client programs anywhere in the world know the IP address and port, and will use the UdpClient class to connect and listen to the logging broadcasts. I've only ever used the UdpClient class like that within a LAN, but I presume "distance" is no obstacle and what I want is a familiar technique between remote machines. I've run a few experiments but they all fail to communicate or crash because I've stuffed-up the parameters. There are so many combinations of parameters and options that I simply cannot find the right ones. All samples I find are trivial and don't seem to do what I want. Any advice would be welcome. *Greg K*
