C# IPAddress from string [closed]

Question

I need to define the IP address in the class System.Net.IPAddress but the method:

IPAddress ipaddress = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");  //127.0.0.1 as an example 

doesn't work, is there another method?

How can I define the IP address?

Answer 1

You've probably miss-typed something above that bit of code or created your own class called IPAddress. If you're using the .net one, that function should be available.

Have you tried using System.Net.IPAddress just in case?

System.Net.IPAddress ipaddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");  //127.0.0.1 as an example 

The docs on Microsoft's site have a complete example which works fine on my machine.
