IPAddress.IPv6Loopback Field

 staticval mutable IPv6Loopback : System.Net.IPAddress

Public Shared ReadOnly IPv6Loopback As IPAddress 

Field Value

Examples

The following code example displays the value of the current host's loopback address in standard compressed format.

// This method displays the value of the current host loopback address in
// standard compressed format.
private static void displayIPv6LoopBackAddress()
{
 try
 {
 // Get the loopback address.
 IPAddress loopBack = IPAddress.IPv6Loopback;

 // Transform the loop-back address to a string using the overladed
 // ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact
 // form: "::1".
 string ipv6LoopBack = loopBack.ToString();
 Console.WriteLine("The IPv6 Loopback address is: " + ipv6LoopBack);
 }
 catch (Exception e)
 {
 Console.WriteLine("[displayIPv6LoopBackAddress] Exception: " + e.ToString());
 }
}

' This methods prints the value of the current host loopback address in 
' standard compressed format. 
Private Shared Sub printIPv6LoopBackAddress()
 Try
 ' Get the loopback address.
 Dim loopBack As IPAddress = IPAddress.IPv6Loopback
 
 ' Transform the loop-back address to a string using the overloaded
 ' ToString() method. Note that the resulting string is in the compact 
 ' form: "::1".
 Dim ipv6LoopBack As String = loopBack.ToString()
 Console.WriteLine(("The IPv6 Loopback address is: " + ipv6LoopBack))
 Catch e As Exception
 Console.WriteLine(("[printIPv6LoopBackAddress] Exception: " + e.ToString()))
 End Try
End Sub

Remarks

The IPv6Loopback field is equivalent to 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 in colon-hexadecimal notation, or to ::1 in compact notation.
