unable to use IPAddress or similar type in windows 8 metro style apps
sockets, windows-8
Solution
You can use the HostName class to represent an IP Address. When you create the EndpointPair, you have a remote and a local host. Check out the StreamSocket sample. System.Net.IPAddress is not part of the .NET Core Profile and is thus not available from Metro style apps.
Problem
I am finding difficulty in using `System.Net.IPAddress` or any similar types in Windows 8 Metro Apps. I am creating an application that will run in an intranet environment and the users will connect to remote servers using IPAddress. But somehow I am not able to use it. Also, in `Windows.Networking.EndpointPair` class, I cant find any option to pass IPAddress specifically Kindly help with this. Thanx of help in advance
