Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkEqualsCompares two IP addresses. (Overrides Object..::.Equals(Object).)
Protected methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkFinalizeAllows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkGetAddressBytesProvides a copy of the IPAddress as an array of bytes.
Public methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkGetHashCodeReturns a hash value for an IP address. (Overrides Object..::.GetHashCode()()().)
Public methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkHostToNetworkOrderOverloaded. Converts a value from host byte order to network byte order.
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkIsLoopbackIndicates whether the specified IP address is the loopback address.
Protected methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkNetworkToHostOrderOverloaded. Converts a number from network byte order to host byte order.
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkParseConverts an IP address string to an IPAddress instance.
Public methodSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkToStringConverts an Internet address to its standard notation. (Overrides Object..::.ToString()()().)
Public methodStatic memberTryParseDetermines whether a string is a valid IP address.

Fields
  NameDescription
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkAnyProvides an IP address that indicates that the server must listen for client activity on all network interfaces. This field is read-only.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkBroadcastProvides the IP broadcast address. This field is read-only.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkIPv6AnyThe Socket..::.Bind method uses the IPv6Any field to indicate that a Socket must listen for client activity on all network interfaces.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkIPv6LoopbackProvides the IP loopback address. This property is read-only.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkIPv6NoneProvides an IP address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This property is read-only.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkLoopbackProvides the IP loopback address. This field is read-only.
Public fieldStatic memberSupported by the .NET Compact FrameworkNoneProvides an IP address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This field is read-only.

How to copy an IPAddress?

How can one copy an IPAddress? There doesn't seemt to be a copy constructor or assignment operator or public Copy() member of any kind.

Does one really have to use IPAddress::GetAddressBytes() like this (C++/CLI):

IPAddress^ orig = gcnew IPAddress(IPAddress::None);

IPAddress^ copy = gcnew IPAddress(orig->GetAddressBytes());

That seems rather obtuse. Is there a more obvious/elegant way? Should there be?

[ADDITION]

And, now that I notice the "ScopeId" property, it doesn't seem that the above snippet even works. One must be sure to grab that as well:

IPAddress^ copy = gcnew IPAddress(orig->GetAddressBytes(), orig->ScopeId);

That seems even less elegant. And also out-right wrong if/when any other properties are added to the class in the future. Hence the reason classes should encapsulate their own copy symantecs, I would think.
