IPHostEntry::HostName Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the DNS name of the host.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The HostName property contains the primary host name for a server. If the DNS entry for the server defines additional aliases, they will be available in the Aliases property.
The following example uses the HostName property to retrieve the primary host name.
void GetIpAddressList( String^ hostString ) { try { // Get 'IPHostEntry' object containing information // like host name, IP addresses, aliases for a host. IPHostEntry^ hostInfo = Dns::GetHostByName( hostString ); Console::WriteLine( "Host name : {0}", hostInfo->HostName ); Console::WriteLine( "IP address List : " ); for ( int index = 0; index < hostInfo->AddressList->Length; index++ ) Console::WriteLine( hostInfo->AddressList[ index ] ); } catch ( SocketException^ e ) { Console::WriteLine( "SocketException caught!!!" ); Console::WriteLine( "Source : {0}", e->Source ); Console::WriteLine( "Message : {0}", e->Message ); } catch ( ArgumentNullException^ e ) { Console::WriteLine( "ArgumentNullException caught!!!" ); Console::WriteLine( "Source : {0}", e->Source ); Console::WriteLine( "Message : {0}", e->Message ); } catch ( Exception^ e ) { Console::WriteLine( "Exception caught!!!" ); Console::WriteLine( "Source : {0}", e->Source ); Console::WriteLine( "Message : {0}", e->Message ); } }
