Is there a way to get the Broadcast address of a network in UWP?

I am currently porting a .Net project to UWP and I have no access to most of the System.Net namespaces, ergo I cant use the IPAddress class to get the Broadcast property I need

socket?.Send(discoveringMessage, discoveringMessage.Length, new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Broadcast, port));

Is there any replacements or workarounds for this issue?

Thanks a lot

Wouldn't you use the Loopback iP address 127.0.0.1? – jdweng Nov 04 '16 at 17:39
Instead of the broadcast? What do you mean? – DemetrioProgramerOsorio Nov 04 '16 at 17:43
I just checked the Net Library and IPAddress.Broadcast is a constant 255.255.255.255. – jdweng Nov 04 '16 at 18:25
Oh so I can totally hardcode it then? – DemetrioProgramerOsorio Nov 04 '16 at 22:27
Yes. Yes, Yes , – jdweng Nov 05 '16 at 02:32
