DatagramSocket: When I get MessageReceived, how do I actually read the data and who it was from?

Question

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.sockets.datagramsocket.messagereceived
If I click on DatagramSocketMessageReceivedEventArgs from that page it just links to TypedEventHandler http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br225997

When I get MessageReceived, how do I actually read the data and who it was from?

Hi RakNet-Kevin,

I think you are misinterpreting the documentation. An event is subscribed following way in datagram socket.

    DatagramSocket^ listener = ref new DatagramSocket(); 
    ListenerContext^ listenerContext = ref new ListenerContext(rootPage, listener); 
    listener->MessageReceived += ref new TypedEventHandler<DatagramSocket^, DatagramSocketMessageReceivedEventArgs^>(listenerContext, &ListenerContext::OnMessage); 

Here OnMessage is the method which will be fired automatically when a datagrams are arrived. So you can receive datagrams inside this method. See the following example.
