In
this article I will explain how to get the client MAC address in ASP.NET using
C#.NET.
We may have a requirement to get Client MAC
address. We implemented the blow code for Client MAC address.
Add
below namespaces to your aspx.cs page.
using System.Net;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
public partial class _Default : Page
{
[DllImport("Iphlpapi.dll")]
private static extern int SendARP(Int32 dest, Int32 host, ref Int64 mac, ref Int32
length);
[DllImport("Ws2_32.dll")]
private static extern Int32
inet_addr(string ip);
In the Page_Load event
method add in the following code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string userip =
Request.UserHostAddress;
string strClientIP =
Request.UserHostAddress.ToString().Trim();
Int32
ldest = inet_addr(strClientIP);
Int32
lhost = inet_addr("");
Int64
macinfo = new Int64();
Int32
len = 6;
int res = SendARP(ldest, 0, ref macinfo, ref len);
string mac_src = macinfo.ToString("X");
while (mac_src.Length < 12)
{
mac_src = mac_src.Insert(0, "0");
}
string mac_dest = "";
for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++)
{
if (0 == (i % 2))
{
if (i == 10)
{
mac_dest =
mac_dest.Insert(0, mac_src.Substring(i, 2));
}
else
{
mac_dest = "-" + mac_dest.Insert(0,
mac_src.Substring(i, 2));
}
}
}
Response.Write(MAC address is" + mac_dest + "."
+ "<br>");
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Response.Write(err.Message);
}
}
}
