Query Local IP Address

Question

I have the need to know my actual local IP address (i.e. not the loopback address) from a Windows 8 WinRT/Metro app. There are several reasons I need this.

Answer 1

About the accepted answer, you just need this:

HostName localHostName = NetworkInformation.GetHostNames().FirstOrDefault(h =>
                    h.IPInformation != null &&
                    h.IPInformation.NetworkAdapter != null);

You can get the local IP Address this way:

string ipAddress = localHostName.RawName; //XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Namespaces used:

using System.Linq;
using Windows.Networking;
using Windows.Networking.Connectivity;
