To get an IP address from a hostname you can use these functions:
You must first import/using System.Net
C#
Code:
//To get a host with a www address
IPHostEntry ip = Dns.GetHostByName ("
www.vbcity.com");
IPAddress [] IpA = ipE.AddressList;
for (int i = 0; i < IpA.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine ("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, IpA[i].ToString ());
}
//To get the local IP address
string sHostName = Dns.GetHostName ();
IPHostEntry ipE = Dns.GetHostByName (sHostName);
IPAddress [] IpA = ipE.AddressList;
for (int i = 0; i < IpA.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine ("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, IpA[i].ToString ());
}
VB.NET
Code:'To get a www address
Dim i As Integer
Dim ipE As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostByName("
www.vbcity.com")
Dim IpA() As IPAddress = ipE.AddressList
For i = 0 To IpA.GetUpperBound(0)
Console.Write("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, IpA(i).ToString)
Next
'To get local address
Dim sHostName As String
Dim i As Integer
sHostName = Dns.GetHostName()
Dim ipE As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostByName(sHostName)
Dim IpA() As IPAddress = ipE.AddressList
For i = 0 To IpA.GetUpperBound(0)
Console.Write("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, IpA(i).ToString)
