IPAddress.IPv6None Field
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Provides an IPv6 address that indicates that no network interface should be used. This property is read-only.
Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared ReadOnly IPv6None As IPAddress
public static readonly IPAddress IPv6None
Remarks
The IPv6None field is equivalent to 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 in colon-hexadecimal notation, or to ::0 in compact notation.
The IPv6None field is defined even when the Socket.OSSupportsIPv6 property is false.
Examples
The following code example displays the value of the current host's IPv6 None address in standard compact notation.
' This sample prints the value of the current host's None address in
' standard compressed format. The None address is used by the host to disable
' listening to client activities on all the interfaces.
Try
' Get the None address.
Dim none As IPAddress = IPAddress.IPv6None
' Transform the None address to a string using the overloaded
' ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact
' form: "::".
Dim ipv6None As String = none.ToString()
outputBlock.Text &= "The IPv6 None address is: "
outputBlock.Text &= ipv6None
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
Catch e As Exception
outputBlock.Text &= "Exception: "
outputBlock.Text &= e.ToString()
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
End Try
// This method displays the value of the current host's None address in
// standard compressed format. The None address is used by the host to disable
// listening to client activities on all the interfaces.
try
{
// Get the None address.
IPAddress none = IPAddress.IPv6None;
// Transform the None address to a string using the overloaded
// ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact
// form: "::".
string ipv6None = none.ToString();
outputBlock.Text += "The IPv6 None address is: ";
outputBlock.Text += ipv6None;
outputBlock.Text += "\n";
}
catch (Exception e)
{
outputBlock.Text += "Exception: ";
outputBlock.Text += e.ToString();
outputBlock.Text += "\n";
}
