Prompting for an IP address

[TyBreaker]

Is there a built-in text box for obtaining IP addresses as in the way
Windows prompts for in the Network Config screens?

There are 10 types of people in this world; those who understand the
binary numbering system and those who don't.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

ASCII a silly question, get a silly ANSI.

There is none that i know of, however, you can just put a textbox for the
user to input the IP in, put a restriction on how many characters they can
input, then use the following code to parse it to an IPAddress object

2003:

Dim ip As IPAddress = DNS.Resolve(Me. TextBox1.Text). AddressList(0)

2005:

Dim ip As IPAddress = DNS.GetHostEntr y(Me.TextBox1.T ext).AddressLis t(0)
hope this helps

In 2005 the MaskedTextbox is back, you could use that one.

Thanks, I've been playing with this control but can't get it to work as
one might expect e.g. I can use the mask "000.000.000.00 0" and this
allows an IP address which has 4 lots of 3 digits but it doesn't allow
you to enter any IP address which has less than 3 digits in any of its
sections e.g. 66.102.7.99 (Google). Any tips?
