Gets the Internet Protocol (IP) address.
public:
abstract property System::Net::IPAddress ^ Address { System::Net::IPAddress ^ get(); };public abstract System.Net.IPAddress Address { get; }member this.Address : System.Net.IPAddressPublic MustOverride ReadOnly Property Address As IPAddressProperty Value
An IPAddress instance that contains the IP address of an interface.
Examples
The following code example displays the multicast addresses for the network interfaces on the local computer.
public static void DisplayMulticastAddresses()
{
int count = 0;
Console.WriteLine("Multicast Addresses");
NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters)
{
IPInterfaceProperties adapterProperties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
MulticastIPAddressInformationCollection multiCast = adapterProperties.MulticastAddresses;
if (multiCast.Count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
foreach (IPAddressInformation multi in multiCast)
{
Console.WriteLine(" Multicast Address ....................... : {0} {1} {2}",
multi.Address,
multi.IsTransient ? "Transient" : "",
multi.IsDnsEligible ? "DNS Eligible" : ""
);
count++;
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
if (count == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(" No multicast addressses were found.");
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
Public Shared Sub DisplayMulticastAddresses()
Dim count as Integer = 0
Console.WriteLine("Multicast Addresses")
Dim adapters As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
Dim adapter As NetworkInterface
For Each adapter In adapters
Dim adapterProperties As IPInterfaceProperties = adapter.GetIPProperties()
Dim multiCast As MulticastIPAddressInformationCollection = adapterProperties.MulticastAddresses
If multiCast.Count > 0 Then
Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description)
Dim multi As IPAddressInformation
For Each multi In multiCast
Console.WriteLine(" Multicast Address ....................... : {0} {1} {2}", multi.Address, IIf(multi.IsTransient, "Transient", ""), IIf(multi.IsDnsEligible, "DNS Eligible", ""))
'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
count += 1
Next multi
Console.WriteLine()
End If
Next adapter
if count = 0 then
Console.WriteLine(" No multicast addresses were found.")
Console.WriteLine()
End if
End Sub
Remarks
The IP address uniquely identifies the interface on the network.
