[RESOLVED] UDPClient error

Hi, first time poster

I went on MSDN and looked at their example for receiving UDPs.
WHen I use it, it gives me an error. Here is my code:

VB.NET:
Private Sub Receive_UDP_Message(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnListen.Click
 
Dim udpReceive As New System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient 
 
Dim receiveBytes As Byte()
 
Dim RemoteIpEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0)
 
* * receiveBytes = udpReceive.Receive(RemoteIpEndPoint)
 
 
 
 
 
Dim returnData As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(receiveBytes)
 
 
 
DisplayText(("This is the message you received " + returnData.ToString()))
 
End Sub

I get error on * * line. It says:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException' occurred in system.dll
Additional information: An invalid argument was supplied

I even tryed copying the code directly from MSDN into a console app, didn't work.
Why won't it work?

Thank you
