How to declare public static byte?












2















I have a class name constants where I put all the constant values in my project. I am also checking if the server is reachable all over my project. I want to declare a ip address in my constants so that I only change one and implement it in my project. I dont know how to declare the value in my constants class. What I need is below:




var ping = new Ping();

var reply = ping.Send(new IPAddress(Constants.ipaddress), 1500);




//I want to change 192,168,120,10 in the value in my constants

var ping = new Ping();

var reply = ping.Send(new IPAddress(new byte { 192, 168, 120, 10 }), 1500);



//What I declared in my constants

public static byte ipaddress;





c# xamarin xamarin.forms

  • @PoulBak He wants something that can't be changed. Even a static readonly won't be enough, since the content of the array can be modified.

Well, you could do



public static readonly byte ipaddress = new byte { 192, 168, 120, 10 };



var ping = new Ping();

var reply = ping.Send(new IPAddress(ipaddress), 1500);


However, I would encourage you to instead use the app.config for this information. That way, you can change the address without having to rebuild your project. If you choose to do that, store the address in standard dotted-quad format ("192.168.120.10") and use IPAddress.Parse.

  • I don't know what you mean by "problem", but you can't store a byte array in a config file, which is why I suggested using a string.

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
