Client / Server

[stuartd]

Hi,

I want to write a server program accepting socket connections.

So far i have:
my_socket=new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,SocketType.Stream,ProtocolType.Tcp);
g_ws.Bind(ENDPOINT);
g_ws.Listen(10);

So i need an ENDPOINT to bind - so far i have:
IPEndPoint ep; ep=new IPEndPoint(ADDRESS,6543);

where ADDRESS is a long or byte[] - (this is where i am stuck)

How do i get the required ip address (eg 192.168.6.16) to a long or byte[]?

If you only have one NIC in the machine, you can use IPAddress.Any as your parameter.

If you have multiple NICs in the machine, you'll need to specify which one (more than likely), so you'll do a Dns.GetHostByName, which returns a IPHostEntry object, which contains an AddressList property, each of which is an IPAddress for your NICs.

So how do i get the required ip address (eg 192.168.6.16) to a long or byte[] if i want to do it by hand?
(eg a client connecting to the server)

IPAddress ipAd = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.6.16")

I have a server program which uses that line to parse the IpAddress into a useable form. You can try that.
