Get port when binding to the free port

[xmedeko]

I want to crate a TcpConnectionListener to bind to the first free port. It works fine, however, I cannot get the port number:

listener = new TcpConnectionListener(new NetworkEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, 0));
int port = ((IPEndPoint)listener.EndPoint).Port; // 0
// reflection hack
var socket = ((Socket)listener.GetType().GetField("listener", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(listener));
port = ((IPEndPoint)socket.LocalEndPoint).Port; // 63930 - the real port number

Note: I want to use this for a Unity - other local process IPC.

Hard to say if this is actually a bug or if it's good behaviour but I'd probably say it should return the actual port as you expect.

I don't have much time to spend on this project anymore (most of my time is spent on DarkRift 2) but I'd gladly merge a pull request that fixes this 🙂
