An IP address.
Return Value
Type: System.Threading.Tasks::Task<IPHostEntry^>^Returns Task<TResult>.
The task object representing the asynchronous operation. The Result property on the task object returns an IPHostEntry instance that contains address information about the host specified in address.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | address is null. |
| SocketException | An error is encountered when resolving address. |
| ArgumentException | address is an invalid IP address. |
This operation will not block. The returned Task<TResult> object will complete after the address has been resolved.
This method queries a DNS server for the IP addresses and aliases associated with an IP address.
IPv6 addresses are filtered from the results of this method if the local computer does not have IPv6 installed. As a result, it is possible to get back an empty IPHostEntry instance if only IPv6 results where available for the address parameter.
The Aliases property of the IPHostEntry instance returned is not populated by this method and will always be empty.
