如果多个应用程序使用同一端口，端口8080上的自托管Web API是否会冲突？ （WinRT的）

Question

I'm working on adding live tiles to my windows 8 app, and the best solution for me will be a web hosted api to send updates to the tiles.

My concern is that I may end up using a port that's already in use by another app.

So I'm wondering if it's even an issue. Or if there is a way that I can check this before assigning the port.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Only one application can bind to a port at a time. If something is already listening on port 8080 when your application tries to bind to it and listen your program will throw an exception.

Answer 2

Yes, it is an issue. Two application cannot bind to the same port simultaneously.
