SocketTools .NET Edition

SocketWrench.AdapterAddress Field

Returns the IP address associated with the specified network adapter.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly AdapterAddress As AdapterAddressArray
[C#]
public readonly AdapterAddressArray AdapterAddress;

Remarks

The AdapterAddress array returns the IP addresses that are associated with the local network or remote dial-up network adapters configured on the system. The AdapterCount property can be used to determine the number of adapters that are available.

Multi-homed systems with more than one local network adapter, or a combination of local and dial-up adapters will not be listed in a specific order. An application should not make the assumption that the first address returned by AdapterAddress always refers to a local network adapter.

Note that it is possible that the AdapterCount property will return 0, and AdapterAddress will return an empty string. This indicates that the system does not have a physical network adapter with an assigned IP address, and there are no dial-up networking connections currently active. If a dial-up networking connection is established at some later point, the AdapterCount property will change to 1, and the AdapterAddress property will return the IP address allocated for that connection.
