Specifies the addressing schemes used by the System.Net.Sockets.Socket class. [Edit]

public enum AddressFamily

Remarks

A System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily member is specified to the System.Net.Sockets.Socket class constructors to identify the addressing scheme that the socket instance will use to resolve an address. For example, AddressFamily.InterNetwork indicates that an IP version 4 address is expected when a System.Net.Sockets.Socket instance connects to an endpoint. [Edit]
