Hi, Im trying to develop a udp client server application.

Ive used code ive seen from other examples on the net, im just having a few problems with the server application at the moment.

VB.NET:

Imports[/color][/size][size=2] System.IO

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Imports[/color][/size][size=2] System.Net.Sockets.Socket

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Dim[/color][/size][size=2] receivingUdpClient [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] UdpClient

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Public[/color][/size][size=2] RemoteIpEndPoint [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]New[/color][/size][size=2] System.Net.IPEndPoint("127.0.0.1", 8000)

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Shared[/color][/size][size=2] [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Sub[/color][/size][size=2] Main()

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Try

[/color][/size][size=2][/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Dim[/color][/size][size=2] receivingUdpClient [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] UdpClient

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Dim[/color][/size][size=2] RemoteIpEndPoint

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff] ** Dim[/color][/size][size=2] receiveBytes [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] [Byte]() = receivingUdpClient.Receive(RemoteIpEndPoint)

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Dim[/color][/size][size=2] BitDet [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] BitArray

BitDet = [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]New[/color][/size][size=2] BitArray(receiveBytes)[/size][size=2][color=#008000]

[/color][/size][size=2][/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Const[/color][/size][size=2] portNumber [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Integer[/color][/size][size=2] = 8000

[/size][size=2][color=#008000]

[/color][/size][size=2]Console.WriteLine("Waiting for connection...")

receivingUdpClient = [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]New[/color][/size][size=2] System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient(portNumber)

Console.WriteLine("Connection accepted.")

Console.WriteLine(("Client sent: " + clientdata))

[/size][size=2][color=#008000]'Dim responseString As String = "Connected to server."

[/color][/size][size=2]clientdata = clientdata + 1

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Dim[/color][/size][size=2] sendBytes [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(clientdata)

Console.WriteLine(("Message Sent /> : " + clientdata))

Console.WriteLine("exit")

Console.ReadLine()

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Catch[/color][/size][size=2] ex [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]As[/color][/size][size=2] Exception

Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString())

Console.ReadLine()

[/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]End[/color][/size][size=2] [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Try

[/color][/size][size=2][/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]End[/color][/size][size=2] [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Sub

End[/color][/size][size=2] [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]Class

[left][/color][/size]

The line Im having a problem is marked with **
I get a null reference exception, jsut wondering if anyone can clear this up for me, as im new to using vb.net and creating udp applicaitons so any help would just be great.
Thanks​
