I am trying to make an application but for it to work it needs your IP in a text box... So I am trying to use this code to make it work, but it is not working:

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        myIPAddress.Text = getMyIPAddress();
    }

    private void getMyIPAddress()
    {
        string Address = "";
        WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://checkip.dyndns.org/");
        using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
        using (StreamReader stream = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            Address = stream.ReadToEnd();
        }
        int first = Address.IndexOf("Address: ") + 9;
        int last = Address.IndexOf("</body>");
        Address = Address.Substring(first, last - first);
        return Address;
    }

What **specifically** is not working? – mjwills Dec 06 '18 at 20:52

Put the word `static` before `getMyIPAddress`. – mjwills Dec 06 '18 at 20:53

Better use a service that provides webapi than extracting the IP from html. Try this: https://www.ipify.org And you have a two-line working C# example right there to use it... – ZorgoZ Dec 06 '18 at 20:56
