C# VS.NET 2003 : System.Net.IpAddress.IpAddress Obsolete

[Mr Gray]

Hello,

I am trying to find a newer way of implementing the following but I am unsuccessful thus far:

        private void SetDataPort(IPEndPoint ep)
        {            
            byte[] hostBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(ep.Address.Address);
 
.......
 

At the moment I am getting the following error message:

'System.Net.IPAddress.Address' is obsolete: 'IPAddress.Address is address family dependant, use Equals method for comparison.'
 

Any ideas of the correct way of doing this?

Thanks.

This method seems to have fixed my issue:

            IPAddress ip = ep.Address;
            string s = ip.ToString();
            long Address = Convert.ToInt64(s);
            byte[] hostBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(Address);
 

Thanks.

Seems like it would be less work to just do this?

System.Net.IPAddress ip = ep.Address;
byte[] hostBytes = ip.GetAddressBytes();
 

or even

byte[] hostBytes = ep.Address.GetAddressBytes();
