Validating IP Address in C#

This blog demonstrates how to validate an IP Address.

This blog demnostrates how to validate an ip address without doing much of code and without using regex, here i have taken help of System.Net namespace and IPAddress class. The TryParse function of IPAddress determines whether an IP Address is a validate IP Address or not. See the below demonstrator that helps validating IPAddress.

 

static void Main()
        {
            IPAddress ip;
            Console.WriteLine("Enter IP Address");
            string ipaddress = Console.ReadLine();
            bool ValidateIP = IPAddress.TryParse(ipaddress, out ip);
            if (ValidateIP)
                Console.WriteLine("This is a valide ip address");
            else
                Console.WriteLine("This is not a valide ip address");
        }
