Type: System.Net.EndPoint

System.Net.EndPoint Class

Assembly: System.dll
Namespace: System.Net

Summary: Identifies a network address. This is an abstract class.

C# Syntax:

[Serializable]
public abstract class EndPoint

Remarks

The EndPoint class provides an abstract base class that represents a network resource or service. Descendant classes combine network connection information to form a connection point to a service.

Property: AddressFamily (read-only)

Summary: Gets the address family to which the endpoint belongs.

C# Syntax:


            public virtual AddressFamily AddressFamily {get;}

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
NotSupportedException	Any attempt is made to get or set the property when the property is not overridden in a descendant class.

Remarks

The EndPoint.AddressFamily property specifies the addressing scheme used by the endpoint's underlying network protocol.
