c# - Setting a socket's local endpoint

Question

I need to create a socket which connects to a server process, but must be restricted to using a specified local adapter. The default behaviour is to use whatever it can, but I need to make sure that a given socket only tries (for example), the LAN connection, if both wifi and LAN are available.

I am using C# and .NET 2.0.

Cheers

The Socket.Bind(EndPoint localEP) method is your friend. Look here at MSDN for the details.

To get all local adapters and their type look at System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
