Hi Team,

I am getting an error as " HttpContext does not contain a definition for Current"

private string ClientIP()
{

string ipAddress = string.Empty;
try
{
  string strHostName = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress.ToString();
ipAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(strHostName).GetValue(0).ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

}
finally
{

}
return ipAddress;
}

Please assist me as what need to be added instead of Current ?

HttpContext.Connection is a property that helps to Get information about the underlying connection for the current request.

applicable to .net core 2.1, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 5.0

Namespace: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http

Assembly: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions.dll

@ Sachin

I am using .net core

string strHostName = HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress;

getting and error "object doesnot contain and definition for connection no accessible method for connection."

What connection are using here?

You don't need current, you already have httpContext with all information of the request.
So you can get IpAddress directly
.Net Core 2/3/5
HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress;
if this doesn't work then try the below code
.Net Core 1
var connectionFeature = Context
           .GetFeature();

if (connectionFeature != null)
{
    string ip = connectionFeature.RemoteIpAddress.ToString();
}

1. var remote = this.HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress;
2. var local = this.HttpContext.Connection.LocalIpAddress;
