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

public:
static initonly IPAddress^ IPv6None

Field Value

Type: System.Net::IPAddress^

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.
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: {0}", ipv6None );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "->Item[displayIPv6NoneAddress] Exception: {0}", e );
   }
}
