## Constructors

### ksAddress(string, ushort) <a href="#ks_reactor_ksaddress__ctor_system_string_system_uint16" id="ks_reactor_ksaddress__ctor_system_string_system_uint16"></a>

Constructor

```csharp
public ksAddress(string host, ushort port)
```

#### Parameters

`host` [string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)

Host

`port` [ushort](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.uint16)

Port

### ksAddress(ksJSON) <a href="#ks_reactor_ksaddress__ctor_ks_reactor_ksjson" id="ks_reactor_ksaddress__ctor_ks_reactor_ksjson"></a>

Constructs an address from a [ksJSON](/reactor/api-reference/ks.reactor/ks.reactor.ksjson.md) object.

```csharp
public ksAddress(ksJSON json)
```

#### Parameters

`json` [ksJSON](/reactor/api-reference/ks.reactor/ks.reactor.ksjson.md)

Json object containing host and port fields.

## Fields

### Host <a href="#ks_reactor_ksaddress_host" id="ks_reactor_ksaddress_host"></a>

Host

```csharp
public string Host
```

#### Field Value

[string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)

### Port <a href="#ks_reactor_ksaddress_port" id="ks_reactor_ksaddress_port"></a>

Port

```csharp
public ushort Port
```

#### Field Value

[ushort](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.uint16)

## Properties

### IsValid <a href="#ks_reactor_ksaddress_isvalid" id="ks_reactor_ksaddress_isvalid"></a>

Is the address valid? To be valid, [Host](#KS_Reactor_ksAddress_Host) must be non-empty and [Port](#KS_Reactor_ksAddress_Port) must be non-zero.

```csharp
public bool IsValid { get; }
```

#### Property Value

[bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean)

## Methods

### Deserialize(ksStreamBuffer) <a href="#ks_reactor_ksaddress_deserialize_ks_reactor_ksstreambuffer" id="ks_reactor_ksaddress_deserialize_ks_reactor_ksstreambuffer"></a>

Deserializes the address from an input buffer.

```csharp
public void Deserialize(ksStreamBuffer input)
```

#### Parameters
