Parameters

local_end

The local System.Net.EndPoint to be associated with the socket. [Edit]

Permissions

Type	Reason
System.Net.SocketPermission [Edit]	Requires permission to accept connections on the endpoint defined by localEP. See System.Net.NetworkAccess.Accept.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	localEP is null. [Edit]
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException	Note: For additional information on causes of the SocketException, see the System.Net.Sockets.SocketException class. [Edit]
ObjectDisposedException	The current instance has been disposed. [Edit]
System.Security.SecurityException	A caller in the call stack does not have the required permission. [Edit]

Remarks

This method sets the Socket.LocalEndPoint property of the current instance to localEP.

Note:

For connection-oriented protocols, this method is generally used only on the server-side and is required to be called before the first call to the Socket.Listen(int) method. On the client-side, binding is usually performed implicitly by the Socket.Connect(System.Net.EndPoint) method.

For connectionless protocols, the Socket.Connect(System.Net.EndPoint)Socket.SendTo(Byte[], int, int, SocketFlags, System.Net.EndPoint), and Socket.BeginSendTo(Byte[], int, int, SocketFlags, System.Net.EndPoint, AsyncCallback, object) methods bind the current instance to the local endpoint if the current instance has not previously been bound.
