VB.Net: Determining if an IPAddress is IPv4 or IPv6
From Wiki
This can be really simple
- Imports System.IO
- Module Module1
- Sub Main()
- Dim _IPAddress As System.Net.IPAddress
- _IPAddress = New System.Net.IPAddress(New Byte() {125, 23, 23, 4})
- Console.WriteLine(_IPAddress.ToString)
- Console.WriteLine([Enum].GetName(GetType(System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily), _IPAddress.AddressFamily)) 'ipv4
- _IPAddress = New System.Net.IPAddress(New Byte() {125, 23, 23, 4, 125, 23, 23, 4, 125, 23, 23, 4, 125, 23, 23, 4})
- Console.WriteLine(_IPAddress.ToString)
- Console.WriteLine([Enum].GetName(GetType(System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily), _IPAddress.AddressFamily)) 'ipv6
- Console.ReadLine()
- End Sub
- End Module
Well perhaps not so simple.
This was the result in the console
125.23.2.4 InterNetwork 7d17:1704:7d17:1704:7d17:1704:125.23.23.4 InterNetworkv6
A bit of a weird stringoutput for version 6 but you get the picture.
