I have managed to use the protected methods in the .net framework.. however i
need to use the protected method ".Client". so as to get the local endpoint
of the current connected socket.

this is the code

public class MyderivedTcpClient : TcpClient
{
// Constructor for the derived class.
public MyderivedTcpClient() : base ()
{
}

public String getAddress()
{
// Calls the protected 'Client' property belonging to the TcpClient base
class.
Socket s = this.Client;
return ((IPEndPoint)s.LocalEndPoint).ToString();
}

}

What solution could you suggest??

Thanks and regards

Well, Client is a private property and can not be accessed from derived
class. However, you can use reflection to achieve what you want:

System.Reflection.FieldInfo fi = typeof(TcpClient).GetField("Client",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic |
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);
Socket s = (Socket)fi.GetValue(this);
return ((IPEndPoint)s.LocalEndPoint).ToString();

For some reason when i tried using derived classes on the .net compact
framework it crashes..
is der a reason for this? no exception has come up or anything its simply
crashes when it tries to connect.

Thanks and regards

used does not match the actual port being used to communicate..
