//For parsing the string to IP
IPAddress ip =  IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1")
 
// To get the localhost IP
IPHostEntry iphost = Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName());
IPAddress[] addr = iphost.AddressList;
 
for (int i = 0; i < addr.Length; i++)
{
                listBox1.Items.Add(string.Format("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, addr[i].ToString()));
}
