Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the network interface is enabled to receive multicast packets.

public:
 virtual property bool SupportsMulticast { bool get(); };

public:
 abstract property bool SupportsMulticast { bool get(); };

public virtual bool SupportsMulticast { get; }

public abstract bool SupportsMulticast { get; }

member this.SupportsMulticast : bool

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property SupportsMulticast As Boolean

Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property SupportsMulticast As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the interface receives multicast packets; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

PlatformNotSupportedException

This property is not valid on computers running operating systems earlier than Windows XP.

Examples

The following code example displays a summary for all interfaces on the local computer.

void DisplayTypeAndAddress()
{
   IPGlobalProperties ^ computerProperties = IPGlobalProperties::GetIPGlobalProperties();
   array<NetworkInterface^>^nics = NetworkInterface::GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   Console::WriteLine( "Interface information for {0}.{1}     ", computerProperties->HostName, computerProperties->DomainName );
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum27 = nics->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum27->MoveNext() )
   {
      NetworkInterface ^ adapter = safe_cast<NetworkInterface ^>(myEnum27->Current);
      IPInterfaceProperties ^ properties = adapter->GetIPProperties();
      Console::WriteLine( adapter->Description );
      Console::WriteLine( String::Empty->PadLeft( adapter->Description->Length, '=' ) );
      Console::WriteLine( "  Interface type .......................... : {0}", 
         adapter->NetworkInterfaceType );
      Console::WriteLine( "  Physical Address ........................ : {0}", 
         adapter->GetPhysicalAddress() );

   }
}

    Console.WriteLine("Interface information for {0}.{1}     ",
            computerProperties.HostName, computerProperties.DomainName);

        Console.WriteLine(String.Empty.PadLeft(adapter.Description.Length,'='));
        Console.WriteLine("  Interface type .......................... : {0}", adapter.NetworkInterfaceType);
        Console.WriteLine("  Physical Address ........................ : {0}",
                   adapter.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("  Is receive only.......................... : {0}", adapter.IsReceiveOnly);
        Console.WriteLine("  Multicast................................ : {0}", adapter.SupportsMulticast);

Remarks

Multicasting is the act of sending a data packet to multiple destinations simultaneously.
