IPAddress Constructor (Byte[])

Initializes a new instance of the IPAddress class with the address specified as a Byte array.

Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public Sub New ( _
	address As Byte() _
)

public IPAddress(
	byte[] address
)

Visual C++

public:
IPAddress(
	array<unsigned char>^ address
)

new : 
        address:byte[] -> IPAddress

Parameters

address: Type: System.Byte[]
The byte array value of the IP address.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	address is null.
ArgumentException	address contains a bad IP address.

Remarks

The IPAddress is created with the Address property set to address.

If the length of address is 4, IPAddress(Byte[]) constructs an IPv4 address; otherwise, an IPv6 address with a scope of 0 is constructed.

The Byte array is assumed to be in network byte order with the most significant byte first in index position 0.
