### Description

Gets or sets the Port at which the websocket handler tries to connect to the Service. Important: setting this property affects all instances of class Web.TextControl. It was not made static so it shows up in the Visual Studio designer.

### Syntax

```csharp
public int ServicePort { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property ServicePort() As Integer
```

### Examples

`ServicePort` belonged to the older server-control surface. In the current ASP.NET Core integration, use `TextControlSettings.WebSocketURL` for the corresponding editor configuration.

```csharp
textControlSettings.WebSocketURL = "Quarterly report";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textControlSettings.WebSocketURL))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Web Socket URL: {textControlSettings.WebSocketURL}");
}
```

```vbnet
textControlSettings.WebSocketURL = "Quarterly report"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textControlSettings.WebSocketURL) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Web Socket URL: {textControlSettings.WebSocketURL}")
End If
```
