System.Net.IPHostEntry Class

Summary

Provides a container class for Internet host address information.

C# Syntax:

public class IPHostEntry

The IPHostEntry class associates a Domain Name System (DNS) host name with an array of aliases and an array of matching IP addresses.

The IPHostEntry class is used as a helper class with the Dns class.

The following example queries the DNS database for information on the host www.contoso.com and returns the information in an IPHostEntry instance.

IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName("www.contoso.com");
