NOTE: This method is now obsolete.
Resolves a DNS host name or IP address to an IPHostEntry instance. Namespace: System.NetAssembly: System (in system.dll)

ObsoleteAttribute("Resolve is obsoleted for this type, please use GetHostEntry instead. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202") public static function Resolve ( hostName : String ) : IPHostEntry
Parameters
- hostName
A DNS-style host name or IP address.
Return Value
An IPHostEntry instance that contains address information about the host specified in hostName.The Resolve method queries a DNS server for the IP address associated with a host name or IP address.
When hostName is a DNS-style host name associated with multiple IP addresses, only the first IP address that resolves to that host name is returned.
