How to get Unicast Dns and Gateway Address in UWP

Question

I'm trying to find Unicast, Dns and Gateway Address in windows IOT. Normally I can access these values with NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces() method.

But in UWP, that method is missing.

Is there any alternative for getting these values?

Try this code Snippet I found here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/27a8b7a8-8071-4bc1-bbd4-e7c1fc2bd8d7/windows-10-iot-core-how-do-you-create-a-tcp-server-and-client?forum=WindowsIoT

            if(icp.NetworkAdapter.IanaInterfaceType == EthernetIanaType)
            {
                return icp.ProfileName;
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

    public static string GetCurrentNetworkName()
    {
        var icp = NetworkInformation.GetInternetConnectionProfile();
        if (icp != null)
        {

        var resourceLoader = ResourceLoader.GetForCurrentView();

            var name = icp.ProfileName;

            var hostnames = NetworkInformation.GetHostNames();

            foreach (var hn in hostnames)
            {
                if (hn.IPInformation != null &&
                    hn.IPInformation.NetworkAdapter != null &&

                }
            }

        var resourceLoader = ResourceLoader.GetForCurrentView();
        var msg = resourceLoader.GetString("NoInternetConnection");
