You replied to the wrong post - the TS would have gotten an email-notification if you'd replied on the original question :) I are Troll :suss:

You can use oleview.exe to explore COM types registered on your computer. I assume that you know at least name of the COM type that is passed to your assembly. Use the name to look for the type inside oleview.exe.

if you have an instance of that class: object unknown = ?; Type unknownType = unknown.GetType(); Type toFind = unknownType.BaseType; The variable Type will hold the type your class directly inherits from. I hope this answers your question.

I don't think there is one. However, a string is really a null terminated character array + it has a ToCharArray method. As the previous poster said there's also the string builder if you need it. Another alternative is to use a List<char> Dave BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)

I think that BinaryReader and BinaryWriter is what you are looking for. Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

DwR wrote: what is your interpretation of what that block of code is doing? It is looping through all of the network adapters and all of the addresses in each adapter and filtering out the loopback address/adapter. Finally the last ( well each one in turn without any exiting of the loops therefore the last one) adapter.address in the enumerations that is NOT the loopback adapter is assigned to the variable address, which is not declared in the code you posted so I have no idea what it is. address = addr.getAddress(); led mike

Hi, I think I've resolved this. By setting the type as IPAddress the member "GetAddressBytes" can be used to convert the address to bytes matching the type of the variable "address". Thanks for your tip, it pointed me in the right directions. That said, I've hit another problem which seems to be a bit trickier. I need to determine the IP addresses associated with the network interfaces of the multi-homed host the code is running on. I am capturing the available interfaces as follows: NetworkInterface[] interfaces = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces(); I then want to loop through the entries and for each one load it's associated IP Addresses into an IPHostEntry instance (or similar). However, I don't see any way to determine the list of ip addresses associated with a particular network interface returned by the foreach loop as it iterates through "interfaces". How is this done?

just use ApplicationException as you are just advised Vuyiswa Maseko, Sorrow is Better than Laughter, it may Sadden your Face, but It sharpens your Understanding VB.NET/SQL7/2000/2005 http://vuyiswamb.007ihost.com http://Ecadre.007ihost.com vuyiswam@tshwane.gov.za

Hmmn. Does the lack of replies mean that this type of resource doesn't exist? Regards, Dave

I don't see anything wrong with the code. What do you mean when you say that it "fails"? What happens? Do you get a compilation error? A runtime error? In what way does the result differ from what you expected? Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

thanks friends. i didn't know them. there are always better ways that i offer :).
