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.

This member emits trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing. |
The following example uses the Resolve method to resolve an IP address to an IPHostEntry instance.
Try
' Call the Resolve method passing a DNS style host name or an IP address in
' dotted-quad notation (for example, "www.contoso.com" or "207.46.131.199") to
' obtain an IPHostEntry instance that contains address information for the
' specified host.
Dim hostInfo As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve(hostString)
' Get the IP address list that resolves to the host names contained in the Alias
' property.
Dim address As IPAddress() = hostInfo.AddressList
' Get the alias names of the addresses in the IP address list.
Dim [alias] As [String]() = hostInfo.Aliases
Console.WriteLine(("Host name : " + hostInfo.HostName))
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Aliases : ")
Dim index As Integer
For index = 0 To [alias].Length - 1
Console.WriteLine([alias](index))
Next index
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "IP Address list :")
For index = 0 To address.Length - 1
Console.WriteLine(address(index))
Next index
