IPAddress.IsLoopback(IPAddress) Method

Definition

Indicates whether the specified IP address is the loopback address.

public:
 static bool IsLoopback(System::Net::IPAddress ^ address);
public static bool IsLoopback (System.Net.IPAddress address);
static member IsLoopback : System.Net.IPAddress -> bool
Public Shared Function IsLoopback (address As IPAddress) As Boolean

Parameters

address
IPAddress

An IP address.

Returns

true if address is the loopback address; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example uses the IsLoopback method to determine whether the specified address is a loopback address.

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::Net::Sockets;

// This method calls the IPAddress::Parse method to check if the
// passed ipAddress parameter is in the correct format.
// Then it checks whether it represents a loopback address.
// Finally, it displays the results.
void parse( String^ ipAddress )
{
   String^ loopBack = " is not a loopback address.";
   try
   {
      
      // Perform syntax check by parsing the address string entered by the user.
      IPAddress^ address = IPAddress::Parse( ipAddress );
      
      // Perform semantic check by verifying that the address is a valid IPv4
      // or IPv6 loopback address.
      if ( IPAddress::IsLoopback( address ) && address->AddressFamily == AddressFamily::InterNetworkV6 )
            loopBack = String::Concat( " is an IPv6 loopback address whose internal format is: ", address, "." );
      else
      if ( IPAddress::IsLoopback( address ) && address->AddressFamily == AddressFamily::InterNetwork )
            loopBack = String::Concat( " is an IPv4 loopback address whose internal format is: ", address, "." );
      
      // Display the results.
      Console::WriteLine( "Your input address: \" {0} \" {1}", ipAddress, loopBack );
   }

Remarks

The IsLoopback method compares address to Loopback and returns true if the two IP addresses are the same.

In the case of IPv4, that the IsLoopback method returns true for any IP address of the form 127.X.Y.Z (where X, Y, and Z are in the range 0-255), not just Loopback (127.0.0.1).
