PhysicalAddress(Byte[]) Constructor

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net.NetworkInformation

Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.Net.NetworkInformation.dll

Source:

PhysicalAddress.cs

Initializes a new instance of the PhysicalAddress class.

C#

public PhysicalAddress(byte[] address);

Parameters

address

Byte[]

A Byte array containing the address.

Examples

The following code example creates a new PhysicalAddress object.

C#

public static PhysicalAddress[]? StoreNetworkInterfaceAddresses()
{
    IPGlobalProperties computerProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
    NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
    if (nics == null || nics.Length < 1)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("  No network interfaces found.");
        return null;
    }

    PhysicalAddress[] addresses = new PhysicalAddress[nics.Length];
    int i = 0;
    foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in nics)
    {
        IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
        PhysicalAddress address = adapter.GetPhysicalAddress();
        byte[] bytes = address.GetAddressBytes();
        PhysicalAddress newAddress = new PhysicalAddress(bytes);
        addresses[i++] = newAddress;
    }
    return addresses;
}

Remarks

In common scenarios, applications do not need to call this constructor; instances of this class are returned by the GetPhysicalAddress method.

Note that you can also use the Parse method to create a new instance of PhysicalAddress.
