Hi all,

my question is how to enumerate the ip addresses of all installed Network
interfaces useing the .Net Framework
in plain Win32 i can write:
WSAIoctl(...) to get all the interface params.
How is this don with .Net i have searched through the System.Net Namespace
but found nothing.
PLease let me know if i'm missing something here or if it is (until now) not
possible with the Frameweork then how do i accomplish this with the old
windows api can i still call the Win32 API functions?

Thanks in advance.

Cu Ulrich

Ulrich,
Maybe you can try to use the Management classes (WMI) if possible.
Sample:

using System.Management;
....
....
static void EnumNetworkAdapters() {
query = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration") ;
ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = query.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection ) {
Console.WriteLine( "'{0}’", mo.ClassPath);
Console.WriteLine( "'{0}’", mo.Options);
Console.WriteLine( "Index\t‘{0}’", mo["Index"]);
Console.WriteLine( "Description\t‘{0}’", mo["Description"]);
Console.WriteLine( "MacAddress\t‘{0}’", mo["MacAddress"]);
if((bool)mo["IPEnabled"] == true) {
string[] addresses = (string[])mo["IPAddress"];
string[] subnets = (string[])mo["IPSubnet"];
Console.WriteLine( "DNS Host\t‘{0}’", mo["DNSHostName"]);
Console.WriteLine( "DNS Domain\t‘{0}’", mo["DNSDomain"]);
foreach(string s in addresses) {
Console.WriteLine( "IP Address ‘{0}’", s);
}
foreach(string s in subnets) {
Console.WriteLine( "IP Subnet ‘{0}’", s);
}
}
}
}


Output (on system running W2K):

'\\SCENIC1\root\cimv2:Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration'
'System.Management.ObjectGetOptions'
Index '0'
Description 'Accton EN1207D/EN2242A Series NDIS 5.0 driver'
MacAddress '00:10:B5:81:B5:E1'
DNS Host 'scenic1'
DNS Domain 'pandora.be'
IP Address '192.168.0.2'
IP Subnet '255.255.255.0'

Willy.

Thank You!

After converting it to VB.Net it works great for me!

Hello Ulrich
I saw that you converted the sample to vb. I did the same. Properties are
nice to read, but do you know how to set a property? What are the
properties of the function SetPropertyValue?
Thanks
