ReuseAddress Property

Description

When True, the REUSEADDR socket option is set to accept duplicate use of the same LocalAddress / LocalPort pair (these are optional parameters of the Connect and Listen methods). If used, this property must be set prior to calling the Connect or Listen method and can be set at design time.
