getting your own ip in vb.net 

Code:

Private Function GetMyIP()         Dim ExternalIP As String = "Null"           Try             ExternalIP = (New WebClient()).DownloadString("http://checkip.dyndns.org/")             ExternalIP = (New Regex("\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}")) _                          .Matches(ExternalIP)(0).ToString()         Catch exc As Exception             ExternalIP = "Null"         End Try           Return ExternalIP End Function

Way more work than needed but 1 main fix, this:

Code:

Dim ExternalIP As String = "Null"

Should be:

Code:

Dim ExternalIP As String

Or

Code:

Dim ExternalIP As String = ""

Or

Code:

Dim ExternalIP As String = null
