Convert Long IP to String IP

[aahmed]

Greetings,

I have used the following code to get a remote machines 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? Im 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()
