### Description

Gets or sets the IP address at which the websocket handler tries to connect to the Service. The default value is 127.0.0.1 (the local computer). Important: setting this property affects all instances of class [TextControlSettings](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol-web-mvc/textcontrolsettings/llms-full.txt).

### Syntax

Only for .NET Framework 4.5.

```csharp
public IPAddress ServiceAddress { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property ServiceAddress As IPAddress
```

### Examples

`ServiceAddress` belonged to the older server-control surface. In the current ASP.NET Core integration, use `TextControlSettings.WebSocketURL` for the corresponding editor configuration.

```csharp
textControlSettings.WebSocketURL = "Quarterly report";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textControlSettings.WebSocketURL))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Web Socket URL: {textControlSettings.WebSocketURL}");
}
```

```vbnet
textControlSettings.WebSocketURL = "Quarterly report"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textControlSettings.WebSocketURL) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Web Socket URL: {textControlSettings.WebSocketURL}")
End If
```
