public static event System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler? NetworkAddressChanged;

[<System.Runtime.Versioning.UnsupportedOSPlatform("illumos")>]
[<System.Runtime.Versioning.UnsupportedOSPlatform("solaris")>]
member this.NetworkAddressChanged : System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler 

Public Shared Custom Event NetworkAddressChanged As NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler 

Event Type

Examples

The following code example listens for address changes and displays the status of network interfaces when a NetworkAddressChanged event occurs.

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::Net::NetworkInformation;
void AddressChangedCallback( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
   array<NetworkInterface^>^adapters = NetworkInterface::GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = adapters->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      NetworkInterface^ n = safe_cast<NetworkInterface^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::WriteLine( "   {0} is {1}", n->Name, n->OperationalStatus );
   }
}

int main()
{
   NetworkChange::NetworkAddressChanged += gcnew NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler( AddressChangedCallback );
   Console::WriteLine( "Listening for address changes. Press any key to exit." );
   Console::ReadLine();
}

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;

namespace Examples.Net.AddressChanges
{
    public class NetworkingExample
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            NetworkChange.NetworkAddressChanged += new
            NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler(AddressChangedCallback);
            Console.WriteLine("Listening for address changes. Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        static void AddressChangedCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
            foreach(NetworkInterface n in adapters)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("   {0} is {1}", n.Name, n.OperationalStatus);
            }
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation

Public Class NetworkingExample
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        AddHandler NetworkChange.NetworkAddressChanged, AddressOf AddressChangedCallback
        Console.WriteLine("Listening for address changes. Press any key to exit.")
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
    Private Shared Sub AddressChangedCallback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        Dim adapters As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        Dim n As NetworkInterface
        For Each n In adapters
            Console.WriteLine("   {0} is {1}", n.Name, n.OperationalStatus)
        Next n
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

The NetworkChange class raises NetworkAddressChanged events when the address of a network interface, also called a network card or adapter, changes.

To have a NetworkChange object call an event-handling method when a NetworkAddressChanged event occurs, you must associate the method with a NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler delegate, and add this delegate to this event.
