IFWXNetworkAddress interface

  • Article

Applies to: desktop apps only

The IFWXNetworkAddress interface represents an IP address of the Forefront TMG computer.

Each instance of the IFWXNetworkAddress interface is an element of a collection represented by an IFWXNetworkAddresses interface that can be retrieved from a snapshot by calling the IFWXNetConfigDetectionSnapshot::GetNetworkAddresses method.

An application filter that is registered as a network configuration detection (NCD) client can associate user-defined context information with each IFWXNetworkAddress interface. The context information is stored in an object that implements the IUnknown interface and is allocated by the application filter. The application filter can then use this information to perform actions in response to notifications for NCD events that it receives when the Firewall service calls the IFWXNetConfigDetectionNotification::NotifyNetworkChange method. This way, information about each network element can be stored the first time that a notification is received for it, and it is not necessary to retrieve the information from the stored configuration for each subsequent NCD event.
