It can simply be done as

int PORT = 9876;
UdpClient udpClient = new UdpClient();
udpClient.Client.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, PORT));

var from = new IPEndPoint(0, 0);
Task.Run(() =>
{
    while (true)
    {
        var recvBuffer = udpClient.Receive(ref from);
        Console.WriteLine(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(recvBuffer));
    }
});

var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("ABCD");
udpClient.Send(data, data.Length, "255.255.255.255", PORT);
