IPAddress Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Provides an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)
The IPAddress type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IPAddress(array<Byte>) | Initializes a new instance of the IPAddress class with the address specified as a Byte array. |
| IPAddress(Int64) | Initializes a new instance of the IPAddress class with the address specified as an Int64. |
| IPAddress(array<Byte>, Int64) | Initializes a new instance of the IPAddress class with an IPv6 address specified as a Byte array and the specified scope identifier. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Address | Obsolete. Gets or sets an Internet Protocol (IP) address for IPv4. |
| AddressFamily | Gets the address family of the IP address. |
| IsIPv6LinkLocal | Gets whether the address is an IPv6 link local address. |
| IsIPv6Multicast | Gets whether the address is an IPv6 multicast global address. |
| IsIPv6SiteLocal | Gets whether the address is an IPv6 site local address. |
| ScopeId | Gets or sets the IPv6 address scope identifier. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | Compares two IP addresses. (Overrides Object::Equals(Object).) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetAddressBytes | Provides a copy of the IPAddress as an array of bytes. |
| GetHashCode | Returns a hash value for an IP address. (Overrides Object::GetHashCode().) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | HostToNetworkOrder(Int16) | Converts a short value from host byte order to network byte order. |
| HostToNetworkOrder(Int32) | Converts an integer value from host byte order to network byte order. |
| HostToNetworkOrder(Int64) | Converts a long value from host byte order to network byte order. |
| IsLoopback | Indicates whether the specified IP address is the loopback address. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| NetworkToHostOrder(Int16) | Converts a short value from network byte order to host byte order. |
| NetworkToHostOrder(Int32) | Converts an integer value from network byte order to host byte order. |
| NetworkToHostOrder(Int64) | Converts a long value from network byte order to host byte order. |
| Parse | Converts an IP address string to an IPAddress instance. |
| ToString | Converts an Internet address to its standard notation. (Overrides Object::ToString().) |
| TryParse | Determines whether a string is a valid IP address. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Any | Provides an IPv4 address that indicates that a server must listen for client activity on all network interfaces for IPv4. This field is read-only. |
| Broadcast | Provides the IPv4 broadcast address. This field is read-only. |
| IPv6Any | Provides an IPv6 address that indicates that a server must listen for client activity on all network interfaces for IPv6. This field is read-only. |
| IPv6Loopback | Provides the IP loopback address. This property is read-only. |
| IPv6None | Provides an IPv6 address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This property is read-only. |
| Loopback | Provides the IPv4 loopback address. This field is read-only. |
| None | Provides an IP address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This field is read-only. |
The IPAddress class contains the address of a computer on an IP network. This class can be used to represent either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
