IPAddress

Synopsis

This class represents an IP address. Use the Parse() method to turn a dotted-quad string (such as “192.168.0.1”) into an IPAddress. Use the ToString() method to convert an IPAddress into a string.

public class IPAddress {
// Public Constructors
   public method IPAddress(long newAddress);  
// Public Static Fields
   public static readonly field IPAddress Any;                   // =0.0.0.0

   public static readonly field IPAddress Loopback;              // =127.0.0.1
   public static readonly field IPAddress None;                  // =255.255.255.255
