❔ Sockets, SendTo is erroring

A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied.

With my setup, the socket is connected in a different class but I am trying to send a message to that socket via its endpoint where I get an error, is that possible or do I have to use the socket class its self?

    public static async Task SendToEndPointAsync(IPEndPoint target, WebSocketOpcodes webSocketOpCode, WebSocketEvents? eventType = null, string? dataSerialized = null)
    {
        try
        {
            var socketMessage = new WebSocketMessage(webSocketOpCode, dataSerialized, eventType, null);

            string messageSerialized = JsonSerializer.Serialize(socketMessage);

            byte[] dataCompressed = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(messageSerialized); /

            await Listener.SendToAsync(dataCompressed, SocketFlags.None, target);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }

    public static async Task SendToEndPointAsync(IPEndPoint target, WebSocketOpcodes webSocketOpCode, WebSocketEvents? eventType = null, string? dataSerialized = null)
    {
        try
        {
            var socketMessage = new WebSocketMessage(webSocketOpCode, dataSerialized, eventType, null);

            string messageSerialized = JsonSerializer.Serialize(socketMessage);

            byte[] dataCompressed = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(messageSerialized); /

            await Listener.SendToAsync(dataCompressed, SocketFlags.None, target);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }

the socket is connected in a different class

the error says otherwise the socket is not connected what is Listener?

Listener is the main socket listening to all connections Similar to TCP Listener also as far as I can tell the connection stays alive other wise I'd be getting an error let me check tho

JakenVeina•2y ago

but what IS it?

S-IERRAOP•2y ago

Acts as a server OH EWAIT Im sorry i'm tired as fuck

    public static readonly Socket Listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);

    public static readonly Socket Listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);

ignore the debug info and stuff

S-IERRAOP•2y ago

but its connected just the way i send it isnt thru the Socket class its thru the server -> Ip Endpoint i could make it send via the actual client socket thats on the server just would be alot more annoying because i would have to redesign alot of stuff Tho I assume I can't just send out data from the server when the 2 sockets arent connected (even tho they are but the way im sending isnt connected ig)
