I'm looking at the SharpPcap tutorial and am trying to understand how to access the device details, which from this post: In SharpPCap How do I find the IP Address of the Device? indicates that I must cast the ICaptureDevice object into a specific type such as WinPcapDevice.
They show how to iterate over the device list, but not how to do the type cast:
// Retrieve all capture devices
var devices = CaptureDeviceList.Instance;
// differentiate based upon types
foreach (ICaptureDevice dev in devices)
{
if (dev is AirPcapDevice)
{
// process as an AirPcapDevice
}
else if(dev is WinPcapDevice)
{
// process as an WinPcapDevice
}
else if(dev is LibPcapLiveDevice)
{
// process as an LibPcapLiveDevice
}
}
