IPEndPoint.Serialize Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Net.Primitives.dll

Source:

IPEndPoint.cs

Serializes endpoint information into a SocketAddress instance.

public:
 override System::Net::SocketAddress ^ Serialize();

public override System.Net.SocketAddress Serialize ();

override this.Serialize : unit -> System.Net.SocketAddress

Public Overrides Function Serialize () As SocketAddress

Returns

SocketAddress

A SocketAddress instance containing the socket address for the endpoint.

Examples

The following example uses the Serialize method to serialize endpoint information into a SocketAddress instance.

// The serializeEndpoint function serializes the endpoint and returns the 
// SocketAddress containing the serialized endpoint data.
SocketAddress^ serializeEndpoint( IPEndPoint^ endpoint )
{
   // Serialize IPEndPoint details to a SocketAddress instance.
   SocketAddress^ socketAddress = endpoint->Serialize();

   // Display the serialized endpoint information.
   Console::WriteLine( "Endpoint.Serialize() : {0}", socketAddress );
   Console::WriteLine( "Socket->Family : {0}", socketAddress->Family );
   Console::WriteLine( "Socket->Size : {0}", socketAddress->Size );
   Console::WriteLine( "Press any key to continue." );
   Console::ReadLine();
   return socketAddress;
}

// The serializeEndpoint method serializes the endpoint and returns the
// SocketAddress containing the serialized endpoint data.
private static SocketAddress serializeEndpoint(IPEndPoint endpoint)
{

  // Serialize IPEndPoint details to a SocketAddress instance.
  SocketAddress socketAddress = endpoint.Serialize();

  // Display the serialized endpoint information.
  Console.WriteLine("Endpoint.Serialize() : " + socketAddress.ToString());

  Console.WriteLine("Socket.Family : " + socketAddress.Family);
  Console.WriteLine("Socket.Size : " + socketAddress.Size);

  Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.");
  Console.ReadLine();

  return socketAddress;
}

' The serializeEndpoint method serializes the endpoint and returns the 
' SocketAddress containing the serialized endpoint data.
Private Shared Function serializeEndpoint(ByVal endpoint As IPEndPoint) As SocketAddress

  ' Serialize IPEndPoint details to a SocketAddress instance.
  Dim socketAddress As SocketAddress = endpoint.Serialize()

  ' Display the serialized endpoint information.
  Console.WriteLine("Endpoint Serialize() : " + socketAddress.ToString())

  Console.WriteLine("Socket Family : " + socketAddress.Family.ToString())
  Console.WriteLine("Socket Size : " + socketAddress.ToString())

  Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.")
  Console.ReadLine()

  Return socketAddress
End Function 'serializeEndpoint
