NetworkDiscovererDirectedBroadcast Method (DiscoveryHandler, String, Int32)

public static void DirectedBroadcast(
	DiscoveryHandler discoveryHandler,
	string ipAddress,
	int waitForResponsesTimeout
)

Public Shared Sub DirectedBroadcast ( 
	discoveryHandler As DiscoveryHandler,
	ipAddress As String,
	waitForResponsesTimeout As Integer
)

public:
static void DirectedBroadcast(
	DiscoveryHandler^ discoveryHandler, 
	String^ ipAddress, 
	int waitForResponsesTimeout
)

This method will wait up to waitForResponsesTimeout milliseconds determining that there are no more discovery responses. Directed broadcasts are defined by the first three subnet octets, followed by 255, such as 192.168.2.255. This method accepts IP addresses of the form, assuming a subnet of 192.168.2:

• 192.168.2.255
• 192.168.2.1 (last octet will be replaced with 255)
• 192.168.2 (will append 255 for the last octet)
• 192.168.2. (will append 255 for the last octet)

This method will invoke the FoundPrinter(DiscoveredPrinter) method for each printer that is found during discovery. DiscoveryFinished will be invoked when the discovery is finished and DiscoveryError(String) will be invoked when any errors are encountered during discovery. When DiscoveryError(String) is invoked, the discovery will be canceled and DiscoveryFinished will not be invoked.

If a printer responds to the discovery request more than once, the FoundPrinter(DiscoveredPrinter) method will only be invoked on the first occurrence.
