This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
NetworkChange..::.NetworkAddressChanged Event

Occurs when the IP address of a network interface changes.

Namespace:  System.Net.NetworkInformation
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Event NetworkAddressChanged As NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim handler As NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler

AddHandler NetworkChange.NetworkAddressChanged, handler
C#
public static event NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler NetworkAddressChanged
Visual C++
public:
static  event NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler^ NetworkAddressChanged {
    void add (NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler^ value);
    void remove (NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler^ value);
}
JScript
JScript does not support events.

The NetworkChange class raises NetworkAddressChanged events when the address of a network interface, also called a network card or adapter, changes.

To have a NetworkChange object call an event-handling method when a NetworkAddressChanged event occurs, you must associate the method with a NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler delegate, and add this delegate to this event.

The NetworkAddressChanged event is supported on Windows 2000 and later.

The following code example listens for address changes and displays the status of network interfaces when a NetworkAddressChanged event occurs.

Visual Basic
Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation

Public Class NetworkingExample
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        AddHandler NetworkChange.NetworkAddressChanged, AddressOf AddressChangedCallback
        Console.WriteLine("Listening for address changes. Press any key to exit.")
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub 'Main
    Private Shared Sub AddressChangedCallback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        Dim adapters As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        Dim n As NetworkInterface
        For Each n In adapters
            Console.WriteLine("   {0} is {1}", n.Name, n.OperationalStatus)
        Next n
    End Sub
End Class

    public class NetworkingExample
    {
        public static void Main()

            NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler(AddressChangedCallback);
            Console.WriteLine("Listening for address changes. Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        static void AddressChangedCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
            foreach(NetworkInterface n in adapters)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("   {0} is {1}", n.Name, n.OperationalStatus);
            }
        }
    }
}
