Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'System.ServiceModel.PeerNodeAddress'.An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Greetings,

I have built a WCF client with a custom peer resolver as a chat
application. The code for both applications (client and server) work
fine, and I am able to resolve clients through the Resolver Contract;
HOWEVER, I am not sure what to pass to register the clients using the
Regeister method with parameters "MeshId" and "PeerNodeAddress".

In my research I know the the PeerNodeAddress is encapsulated in a
seal class PeerNodeAddress. I have searched the Internet for an
example of what the PeerNodeAddress would look like as a passed
parameter, but there is nothing out there.

My question:

When I call the Register method to register my client with the server
what am I passing? Am I passing the IP Address of the client? If so,
how would I cast the IPAddress type into a PeerNodeAddress? Does
anyone have a working example?

Here is the error message I get when I try to assign the client IP
address:

<code>

PeerNodeAddress nodeAddress;

IPHostEntry ips = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName());
foreach (IPAddress address in ips.AddressList)
{
if (address.AddressFamily ==
System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
nodeAddress = address as PeerNodeAddress;
}

<error>

'System.ServiceModel.PeerNodeAddress'. An explicit conversion exists
(are you missing a cast?)

Question, what is the correct cast?

issue, here is my fix.

In my code above I was trying to do a simple assignment; however, this
is not possible because no cast is possible because the
PeerNodeAddress is a sealed class.

Therefore, if you instantiate a new nodeAddress with a new
implementation of the Service Endpoint, you can then pass the
AddressList from the IPAddress object and the code works wonderfully.

Hope this helps you.

<code>

foreach (IPAddress address in ips.AddressList)
{
if (address.AddressFamily ==
System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
{
ReadOnlyCollection<IPAddress> ip = new
ReadOnlyCollection<IPAddress>(ips.AddressList);
nodeAddress = new PeerNodeAddress(new
EndpointAddress("http://137.51.145.137:8001/servicemodel/service"),
ip);

}
}
