C# mac address

[MisterWhite]

So i have this code

private static string GetMacAddress()		{			string macAddresses = string.Empty;			foreach (NetworkInterface nic in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces())			{				if (nic.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up)				{					macAddresses += nic.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString();					break;				}			}			return macAddresses;		}

I'm not entirely sure what all the parts mean, but i suppose it would only get the mac address of the machine that the file is started on.

I'm curious, is there a way to write the code, so that it would check if the mac address of the connecting machine is allowed (is in database(text file) ) to see that content on my web page. lets say we have a page mytestpage.com/content/checkmac.cs , (not sure if it should be .cs also) and if the mac is allowed to pass, it would redirect to /content/playlist.xml if not it would displaya message.

Yes, but you must find a way to import the text file into the program you are running the code off of.

For example if done in javascript, i would probably use the java excel tools to connect the excel page as an array for it to recognise the data. New data then can be written into the program as a text file or via javascript.

file would not be a prob, just the case of now knowing how to rewrite this code, so that it would check the incoming machines  mac address

I don't think writing the code is hard, it's just the file linking process is tricky. Sorry but i do not know the keywords as i have not used any other forms of text file checking other than excel on javascript.

You can't get the mac address of a user connecting to a webpage.

I assume this is Asp.net not winforms?
