What is solution for this error?

The code is shown below.

//Assume myList is an ArrayList
IPAddress tempAddress = ((IPEndPoint)(TcpClient.Client.RemoteEndPoint)).Address;
myList.Add(tempAddress);

Answer 1

do you have an instance of TcpClient ?

Answer 2

As the compiler error states you need an instance of IPEndPoint to access the Address property.

TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient();
IPAddress ipAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry ("www.contoso.com").AddressList[0];
IPEndPoint ipEndPoint = new IPEndPoint (ipAddress, 11004);
IPAddress tempAddress = ipEndPoint.Address;
myList.Add(tempAddress);

Answer 3

The error happens because the property RemoteEndPoint is an instance member of TCPClient. This means that you must instantiate a TCPClient (you must "new it") before you can access the RemoteEndPoint.

If you want more help, you need to post the preceeding lines of code so that we can see what you are trying to do.
