How do I convert an IPv4 addres to IPv6 in C#?

[Valerie Hough]

My app has so far only encountered IPv4 addresses and I use:
Dns.GetHostByName( "someOtherComputer", portNumber ).AddressList[0].

Can someone please point me to an example of how to turn this into an IPv6
address?

Thanks in advance.

An IPv4 address is translated to an IPv6 address by placing the 4 octets of
the IPv4 address into the rightmost 4 octets of the IPv6 address.

Forgot to mention: After inserting the 4 octets of the IPv4 address into the
rightmost 4 octets of the IPv6 address, the remaining left-most octets would
be 0 in value.
