[C#] Get External IP through Webrequests [Intermediate]

[Mike]

This is poorly written but does the job. Didn't bother with timeouts, which probably need to be added. And there probably is a faster way of getting your IP but this is the fastest way I could think of.

Imports:

Code:

using System.Net;
using System.IO;

Code:

Code:

static string IP()
        {
            //http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
            HttpWebRequest WhatIsMyIP_Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp");
            HttpWebResponse WhatIsMyIP_Response = (HttpWebResponse)WhatIsMyIP_Request.GetResponse();
            StreamReader WhatIsMyIP_Source = new StreamReader(WhatIsMyIP_Response.GetResponseStream());
            return WhatIsMyIP_Source.ReadToEnd();
        }

Usage:

Code:

Console.WriteLine(IP());

Two different snippets, not the matter of the output (actually yes..), but the matter of the code. Great minds think alike.

Great to see a C# thread, although I'd probably use a WebClient for this matter.
