IPAddress.IPv6Loopback Field
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Provides the IP loopback address. This property is read-only.
Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared ReadOnly IPv6Loopback As IPAddress
public static readonly IPAddress IPv6Loopback
Remarks
The IPv6Loopback field is equivalent to 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 in colon-hexadecimal notation, or to ::1 in compact notation.
The IPv6Loopback 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 loopback address.
' This sample prints the value of the current host loopback address in
' standard compressed format.
Try
' Get the loopback address.
Dim loopBack As IPAddress = IPAddress.IPv6Loopback
' Transform the loop-back address to a string using the overloaded
' ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact
' form: "::1".
Dim ipv6LoopBack As String = loopBack.ToString()
outputBlock.Text &= "The IPv6 Loopback address is: "
outputBlock.Text &= ipv6LoopBack
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 loopback address in
// standard compressed format.
try
{
// Get the loopback address.
IPAddress loopBack = IPAddress.IPv6Loopback;
// Transform the loop-back address to a string using the overladed
// ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact
// form: "::1".
string ipv6LoopBack = loopBack.ToString();
outputBlock.Text += "The IPv6 Loopback address is: ";
outputBlock.Text += ipv6LoopBack;
outputBlock.Text += "\n";
}
catch (Exception e)
{
outputBlock.Text += "Exception: ";
outputBlock.Text += e.ToString();
outputBlock.Text += "\n";
}
