IPAddress.IPv6Loopback Field
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Provides the IP loopback address. This property is read-only.
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)
The IPv6Loopback field is equivalent to 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 in colon-hexadecimal notation, or to ::1 in compact notation.
The IPv6Loopback field is defined even when the Socket.OSSupportsIPv6 property is false.
The following code example displays the value of the current host's IPv6 loopback address.
' This sample prints the value of the current host loopback address in ' standard compressed format. Try ' Get the loopback address. Dim loopBack As IPAddress = IPAddress.IPv6Loopback ' Transform the loop-back address to a string using the overloaded ' ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact ' form: "::1". Dim ipv6LoopBack As String = loopBack.ToString() outputBlock.Text &= "The IPv6 Loopback address is: " outputBlock.Text &= ipv6LoopBack outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf Catch e As Exception outputBlock.Text &= "Exception: " outputBlock.Text &= e.ToString() outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf End Try
