In this tutorial, I will teach you how to get the local ip address using visual basic 2015. This method has the capacity to retrieve the local ip address (ipv6) and will be displayed in the listbox. This application is similar to The Easiest Way to Get Local Ip Address (IPv4) in VB.Net. Let’s begin

Creating Application

Step 1

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and create a new windows form application for visual basic.

Step 2

Do the form just like shown below

Step 3

Open the code editor and set the Imports System.Net to access

the .net libraries. You can put this above the public class.
Step 4

Create a sub procedure for getting the local ip address.

1. 
   
2. Private
   
   Sub
   
   retrieve_ipv6()
   
3. 
   
4. Dim
   
   host_name As
   
   String
   
   = Dns.GetHostName()
   
5. 
   
6. Dim
   
   ip_address As
   
   String
   
   = Dns.GetHostEntry(host_name).AddressList(0).ToString()
   
7. Dim
   
   h As
   
   System.Net.IPHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(System.Net.Dns.GetHostName)
   
8. 
   
9. 
   
10. ListBox1.Items.Add("Host: "
    
    & host_name & "; IP Address: "
    
    & ip_address)
    
11. 
    
12. End
    
    Sub
    

Step 5

Do the following code for showing the ip address in the list box when the button is clicked.

1. Private
   
   Sub
   
   Button1_Click(sender As
   
   Object
   
   , e As
   
   EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
   
2. retrieve_ipv6()
   
3. End
   
   Sub
