IPAddress.None Field

Provides an IP address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This field is read-only.

Namespace:  System.Net
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
'Declaration
Public Shared ReadOnly None As IPAddress

The Socket.Bind method uses the None field to indicate that a Socket must not listen for client activity. The None field is equivalent to 255.255.255.255 in dotted-quad notation.

The following example uses the None property to indicate that no network interface should be used.

Public Shared Sub Main()

    ' Gets the IP address indicating that no network interface should be used 
    ' and converts it to a string.  
    Dim address As String = IPAddress.None.ToString()
    Console.WriteLine(("IP address : " + address))
End Sub 'Main
