IPAddress Constructor (Int64)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the IPAddress class with the address specified as an Int64.

Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    newAddress As Long _
)

public IPAddress(
    long newAddress
)

newAddress
Type: System.Int64
The long value of the IP address. For example, the value 0x2414188f in big-endian format would be the IP address "143.24.20.36".

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The newAddress parameter is out of range for an IPv4 address.

The IPAddress instance is created with the IP address set to newAddress.

The IPAddress(Int64) constructor can only be used to construct an IPv4 address, since the size of the Int64 is not large enough for an IPv6 address.

The Int64 value is assumed to be in network byte order.

Supported in: 5, 4, 3

Supported in: Windows Phone OS 7.1
