Get VB2010 Populate Network Info on Form

[Sebastian_1]

I have made VB populate Hostname and IPv4 on a Form. However, need help getting Gateway, DNS and DHCP on same form.

Here is code...

Private Sub Getip(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
        Label3.Text = ("Address: " & GetHostIP(Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork)) ' Show IPV4
    End Sub
    Private Function GetHostIP(ByVal af As System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily) As String
        Dim host As System.Net.IPHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(System.Net.Dns.GetHostName)
        Dim strRet As String = ""
        For Each ip As System.Net.IPAddress In host.AddressList
            If ip.AddressFamily = af Then
                strRet = ip.ToString
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        Return strRet
    End Function
    Private Sub GetNetworkInfo() Handles Me.Shown
        Dim ipEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(Environment.MachineName)
        Dim IpAddr As IPAddress() = ipEntry.AddressList
        Dim strHostName As String
        'Dim i As Integer
        strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
        Label4.Text = ("Host Name: " & strHostName)
    End Sub

 Public Function GetHostEntryIPv4()
        'Display IP address of local machine
        Dim ipEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(Environment.MachineName)
        Dim ipAddr As IPAddress() = ipEntry.AddressList
        Me.Label3.Text = ("Address: " & ipAddr(0).ToString())
        'Display DNS of local machine
        Dim myiphost As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve(UserDomainName)
        Dim myipaddresses() As IPAddress = myiphost.AddressList
        Dim myipaddress As IPAddress
        For Each myipaddress In myipaddresses
            Label6.Text = myipaddress.ToString()
        Next
        'Display DHCP server address of local machine
        Dim adapters As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        Dim adapter As NetworkInterface
        For Each adapter In adapters
            Dim adapterProperties As IPInterfaceProperties = adapter.GetIPProperties()
            Dim addresses As IPAddressCollection = adapterProperties.DhcpServerAddresses
            If addresses.Count > 0 Then
                MessageBox.Show(adapter.Description)
                Dim address As IPAddress
                For Each address In addresses
                    Label7.Text = address.ToString()
                Next
            End If
        Next
        'Display Default Gateway of local machine
        Dim myNetworkAdapaters() As NetworkInterface = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces
        Dim myadapprops As IPInterfaceProperties = Nothing
        Dim myGateways As GatewayIPAddressInformationCollection = Nothing
        For Each myNetworkAdapter As NetworkInterface In myNetworkAdapaters
            myadapprops = myNetworkAdapter.GetIPProperties
            myGateways = myadapprops.GatewayAddresses
            For Each gateway As GatewayIPAddressInformation In myGateways
                Label8.Text = gateway.Address.ToString()
            Next
        Next
    End Function

Did some more thinking on your problem, then realized all the info you want can be gleaned from the ipconfig utility.

Here's some code that will fill a textbox with the connection specific information for the 'Local" connections. This can easily be tailored to whichever connection you want to examine.

Each line has a description so it should be very easy to extract the specific information you want.

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim Proc As New Process
    Dim StartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
    StartInfo.Arguments = "/all"
    StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
    StartInfo.FileName = "ipconfig"
    StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
    StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
    Proc.StartInfo = StartInfo
    Proc.Start()
    Dim Output As List(Of String) = Proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd.Split(vbNewLine.ToCharArray, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToList
    Dim Good As Boolean = False
    For Each s As String In Output
        If s.Contains("Local") Then
            Good = True
        ElseIf Not s.StartsWith(" ") Then
            Good = False
        End If
        If Good Then
            TextBox1.AppendText(s & vbNewLine)
        End If
    Next
End Sub

tinstaafl:
I had already tried that, however my code was a bit different. It doesnt output what I need. I have attached the results of the textbox1.text for you.
I need the results in IPv4. But thanks for the idea. :)

Have you tried calling GetHostEntry with an empty string?

[Sebastian_1]

No I have not, but I will soon. Sorry for the Delay but crazy here.
Would I be able to capture txt from the output so I only display what I want and not the entire result?

[tinstaafl]

The return of GetHostEntry is IpHostEntry which contains an array of Ip Addresses property,IPHostEntry.AddressList
