IP Checking Code

IPAddress address = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");

if (address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork) // IPv4
{
    // do ipv4 stuff here
}

if (address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6) // IPv6
{
    // do ipv6 stuff here
}

if ((address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork) || (address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6)) // IPv4 and IPv6
{
    // do both ipv4 and ipv6 stuff here
}
