How to get the IP address of the server on which my C# application is running on?

Question

I am running a server, and I want to display my own IP address.

What is the syntax for getting the computer\'s own (if possible, external) IP address?

Answer 1

To find IP address list I have used this solution

public static IEnumerable GetAddresses()
{
    var host = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName());
    return (from ip in host.AddressList where ip.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.lo select ip.ToString()).ToList();
}

But I personally like below solution to get local valid IP address

public static IPAddress GetIPAddress(string hostName)
{
    Ping ping = new Ping();
    var replay = ping.Send(hostName);

    if (replay.Status == IPStatus.Success)
    {
        return replay.Address;
    }
    return null;
 }

public static void Main()
{
    Console.WriteLine("Local IP Address: " + GetIPAddress(Dns.GetHostName()));
    Console.WriteLine("Google IP:" + GetIPAddress("google.com");
    Console.ReadLine();
}
