IPAddress.IPv6None Field
Provides an IP address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This property is read-only.
Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The Socket.Bind method uses the IPv6None field to indicate that a Socket must not listen for client activity. The IPv6None field is equivalent to 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 in colon-hexadecimal notation, or to ::0 in compact notation.
The following code example displays the value of the current host's None address in standard compressed format.
// This method displays the value of the current host's None address in // standard compressed format. The None address is used by the host to disable // listening to client activities on all the interfaces. private static void displayIPv6NoneAddress() { try { // Get the None address. IPAddress none = IPAddress.IPv6None; // Transform the None address to a string using the overloaded // ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact // form: "::". string ipv6None = none.ToString(); Console.WriteLine("The IPv6 None address is: " + ipv6None); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("[displayIPv6NoneAddress] Exception: " + e.ToString()); } }
