Subnet Mask

  I am looking for that too. You can however get that info from win32 wmi class lib.

  Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration and the IPSubnet is the property of that class.

  But how the heck do u do it in .net Everyone has given the example of how to get the IP Address using this code

  Dim IpEntry As System.Net.IPHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Environment.MachineName)

  Dim IpAddr As System.Net.IPAddress() = IpEntry.AddressList

  Dim IpAddrIndex As Integer
  For IpAddrIndex = 0 To IpAddr.Length - 1

  Console.WriteLine(IpAddr(IpAddrIndex).ToString)

  Next

  the above code is from pcelement see this thread

  I was thinking that the guys who wrote that class tho forgot about all the other parts of the IpAddress. Subnet dns, gateway etc....

  Of course we want to do everything with .net now, no more funky win32 stuff right

  I am just trying to learn like the rest!!

  .net 2.0 doesnt have the facility of subnet mask

  the only way left is to use WMI

  i have already done it

  Here it is. Dont forget to add reference to system.mangement assembly.

  Sub GetSubnetMask()

  Dim objMC As ManagementClass = New ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")

  Dim objMOC As ManagementObjectCollection = objMC.GetInstances()

  Dim objMO As ManagementObject

  Dim subnets As String()

  For Each objMO In objMOC

  subnets = CType(objMO("IPSubnet"), String())

  If subnets IsNot Nothing Then

  Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Subnet Mask: {0}", subnets(0)))

  End If

  Next

  End Sub

  Hmmmmm, not seeming to get an answer on this one, I wonder if this will be in .net 2.01 LOL
