I do. My framework code to send a message goes something like this:

private void Connect ()
{
int port = xAPTransportInfo.GetListeningPort();
IPEndPoint ep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Broadcast, port);

UdpClient m_datagram = new UdpClient();
m_datagram.Connect(ep);
} // End of Connect

public void Send (xAPMessage message)
{
byte[] msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message.ToRawMessageString());

m_datagram.Send(msg, msg.Length);
} // End of Send

So it's all encapsulated in the UdpClient class of the Microsoft .net
Framework. More than that I haven't really needed to know. There are
TcpClient classes as well which I use to communicate directly with my
TiVo's YAC listener.
