Parses the specified string and stores its contents as the address bytes of the System.Net.NetworkInformation.PhysicalAddress returned by this method.
Syntax
public static PhysicalAddress Parse (string address)
Parameters
- address
Returns
A System.Net.NetworkInformation.PhysicalAddress instance with the specified address.
Remarks
The address parameter must contain a string that can only consist of numbers and upper-case letters as hexadecimal digits. Some examples of string formats that are acceptable are as follows:
001122334455
00-11-22-33-44-55
F0-E1-D2-C3-B4-A5
Note that an address that contains f0-e1-d2-c3-b4-a5 will fail to parse and throw an exception.
Use the PhysicalAddress.GetAddressBytes method to retrieve the address from an existing System.Net.NetworkInformation.PhysicalAddress instance.
