[C#] Get External IP through Webrequests [Intermediate] - Mike - 08-31-2010
This is poorly written but does the job. Didn't bother with timeouts, which probably need to be added. And there probably is a faster way of getting your IP but this is the fastest way I could think of.
Imports:
Code:
using System.Net;
using System.IO;Code:
Code:
static string IP()
{
//http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
HttpWebRequest WhatIsMyIP_Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp");
HttpWebResponse WhatIsMyIP_Response = (HttpWebResponse)WhatIsMyIP_Request.GetResponse();
StreamReader WhatIsMyIP_Source = new StreamReader(WhatIsMyIP_Response.GetResponseStream());
return WhatIsMyIP_Source.ReadToEnd();
}Usage:
Code:
Console.WriteLine(IP());RE: [C#] Get External IP through Webrequests [Intermediate] - Fragma - 09-01-2010
Thanks this is very useful. Nice to see more C# threads as well.

Two different snippets, not the matter of the output (actually yes..), but the matter of the code. Great minds think alike.

Great to see a C# thread, although I'd probably use a WebClient for this matter.
