Convert Long IP to String IP

[aahmed]

Greetings,

 

I have used the following code to get a remote machine's IP Address:

dim pc as string

dim hostaddress as ipaddress

 

pc = pcname.text

 

hostaddress = Dns.Resolve(pc).AddressList(0)

Now I want to convert this IP Address to String, how could I do that? I'm relatively new to this so any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

To convert objects to string use the Convert class:

Dim stringip as String = Convert.ToString(Long value here)

or

hostaddress.ToString();

 

Works in c#, not sure about vb.net though.

Thanks Mutant, that did it, I really appreciate it.

How about the other way around? String ("127.0.0.1") -> Long.

What do I need to reference to use the code below?

 

 

dim pc as string

Dim hostaddress As ipaddress

pc = pcname.text

 

hostaddress = Dns.Resolve(pc).AddressList(0)

At the top of the code module add

Imports System.Net

nd things should be good

Thank you for the reply.

PentiumGuy, to convert a string to an Ip, use System.Net.IPAddress.Parse()
