EndPoint[] GetConnectedClients()

• Description: The GetConnectedClients() method returns a list of all clients currently connected to the server, including their IP addresses and port information. This method allows the server to track which clients are connected and provides access to their connection details. It is particularly useful in multi-client servers for monitoring the connected clients.

• Parameters: This method does not take any parameters.

• Returns: The method returns an array of EndPoint[]. Each EndPoint object represents the IP address and port information of a connected client.

EndPoint[] connectedClients = _serverConnectionsProvider.GetConnectedClients();
for (int index = 0; index < connectedClients.Length; index++)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Client connected: {connectedClients[index]}");
}
