Obsolete property

[jmcilhinney]

You still haven't actually explained what the line of code that is giving you the messages is trying to do. The error message says:

Please use IPAddress.Equals method to perform comparisons.

Are you performing a comparison? If not the you wouldn't use Equals. Have you read the documentation for the IPAddress.Address property? Why is that not the obvious next step? That documentation says:

This property is obsolete. Use GetAddressBytes.

and kindly provides a link to the documentation for that property. The BitConverter class, which you're already using, can convert those Bytes to an Integer.

Sorry jmcilhinney, but I give up. I understand that you're trying to help me, but I just can't seem to find an answer. And as long as the code works, I won't give it any more thought.

PS: The codeline changes the (example) string 192.168.1.34 to integer 570534080
