Find machine name and IP address in OOB SL5 app

Question

在浏览器外运行Silverlight 5应用程序时（如安装在本地计算机上而不是通过Web运行），如何获取客户端计算机名称和IP地址？

Answer 1

It looks like there's no way to gather this information using just Silverlight. You'd have to do something like this . The short version is you use an AutomationFactory to create an unmanaged object which contains that information (in this case, a WMI Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration object). That means this probably won't work on a Mac. If you need something truly cross platform, it seems like the way is to create a really simple web service that simply returns the requestor's IP and hostname.

Answer 2

I dont know what is your exact requirement .We had similar requirement some time back to get the local ip address to call a local service which is supposed to be present in client machine.

In that case we just built the local service url by hard coding the loopback address.ie localhost.
