IPEndPoint Class

Namespace: System.Net.Sockets

Represents a network endpoint as an IP address and a port number.

The IPEndPoint class represents a network endpoint as an IP address and a port number. It is used by socket classes to establish connections and send/receive data. An IPEndPoint can represent either an IPv4 or an IPv6 endpoint.

Note:

When using the IPEndPoint(long) constructor, the Address property will be set to IPAddress.Any.

Constructors

public IPEndPoint(long rawAddress, int port)
Initializes a new instance of the IPEndPoint class with the specified IP address and port number.
- rawAddress: A long integer that specifies the IP address.
- port: An int that specifies the port number.
public IPEndPoint(IPAddress address, int port)
Initializes a new instance of the IPEndPoint class with the specified IP address and port number.
- address: An IPAddress instance.
- port: An int that specifies the port number.

Properties

public IPAddress Address { get; set; }

Gets or sets the IP address of the endpoint.
public int Port { get; set; }

Gets or sets the port number of the endpoint.

Methods

public override int Equals(object obj)

Determines whether two endpoint objects are equal.
public int Equals(IPEndPoint other)

Determines whether the current IPEndPoint represents the same network endpoint as another IPEndPoint.
public override int GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for the current IPEndPoint.
public void Parse(string endpoint)
Parses an IP address and port number from a string and stores them in the IPEndPoint instance.
- endpoint: A string that contains the IP address and port number to parse. The string must be in the format "ipAddress:port" or "[IPv6Address]:port".
public override string ToString()

Converts an IPEndPoint to its string representation.

// Example: IPEndPoint ipEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("192.168.1.1"), 8080); string ipEndPointString = ipEndPoint.ToString(); // ipEndPointString will be "192.168.1.1:8080"

Fields

public static readonly IPEndPoint Any

Represents an endpoint with the IP address IPAddress.Any and port 0.
