[RESOLVED] IP Address

hi
wts the code for the IP Address to be viewed as string?

and is there also a code to create folder?

Create a folder:

VB Code:

My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("C:\NewFolder")

Not sure how to find out the IP address from VB but the "ipconfig" utility can be used to display it.

Would this be for a web app?

no.. its for the IP of the users comp

You could get the computer name and use that instead?

no. The IP Address is needed.. i think its in the command Net. -

There are probably some third-party components you could use. I'll do a bit of research and let you know if I find anything... What kind of program are you making?

Ok here are a couple of ways to do it then.

VB Code:

Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.Sockets
 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim ipHostInfo As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName())
        MsgBox(ipHostInfo.AddressList(0).ToString)
End Sub

VB Code:

MessageBox.Show(Net.Dns.GetHostByName(System.Environment.MachineName).AddressList(0).ToString)

thx. the 2nd 1 worked

web stuff

Both of them work for me! Cheers, RobDog, they might come in handy in the future. Although VS 2005 advised that I replace both Resolve and GetHostByName with GetHostEntry instead, as they are obselete. Probably not vitally important but worth nothing I suppose...

Thanks. :)

Yes, its 2003 code so I cant say what changed in 2005. ;)
