TCPclient and IP adress

[Sebho]

Hello,

i made an app that use sockets, based on this sample :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

i'have a problem, i can't obtain the client IP adress on the server side (i
have a pointer to a TCPclient object)

Is averyone that know how to retrieve the IPadress from a TCPclient Object ?

Thanks for your help

I am not familiar with that sample but I have a client-server app that I
have developed and to get the clients IP address in the server app I
accept the incoming connection and then use:

IPAddress.Parse(CType(oSocket.RemoteEndPoint,IPEnd Point).Address.ToString())

maybe this will help?

Unfortunately, the TcpClient class does not directly expose a method to
do this. The only way it can be done, is to create your own class that
inherits from TcpClient - that way you can access the protected Client
property. It would look something like:

Public Class MyTcpClient
Inherits TcpClient

' Add your contructors
....

' Add your client Ip property
Public ReadOnly Property ClientIP() As IPAddress
Get
Return CType(Me.Client.RemoteEndPoint, IPEndPoint).Address
End Get
End Property

End Class

Anyway, it's a little bit of air code :)

Sorry i'm a newbie ......
ok for the subclass, but i have a TCPlistener object, and the accept method
will return a TCPclient object, how can i do for the TCPlistener.accept
return a MyTcpClient object ?

thanks for your help

Well with out inheriting from the TCPListener class and overriding the
AcceptTcpClient method... I would instead use the AcceptSocket method
and then add a constructor to your TcpClient class that takes a Socket
as a parameter...

Public Class MyTcpClient
Public Sub New(ByVal Client As Socket)
Me.Client = Client
End Sub

....

End Class

Then,
Dim s As Socket
Dim c As MyTcpClient

....
s = myListener.AcceptSocket()
c = new MyTcpClient(s)
...
