   ByVal name As String _
) As UriHostNameType
[C#]
public static UriHostNameType CheckHostName(
 string name
);
[C++]
public: static UriHostNameType CheckHostName(
 String* name
);
[JScript]
public static function CheckHostName(
   name : String
) : UriHostNameType;

Parameters

name
The host name to validate.

Return Value

A UriHostNameType that indicates the type of the host name. If the type of the host name cannot be determined, or the host name is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or a zero-length string, returns Unknown.

Remarks

The CheckHostName method checks that the host name provided meets the requirements for a valid Internet host name. It does not, however, perform a host-name lookup to verify the existence of the host.

Example

The following example checks the host name is checked for validity.

[Visual Basic] 
Console.WriteLine(Uri.CheckHostName("www.contoso.com"))


[C#] 
Console.WriteLine(Uri.CheckHostName("www.contoso.com"));
   

[C++] 
Console::WriteLine(__box(Uri::CheckHostName(S"www.contoso.com")));
   

[JScript] 
Console.WriteLine(Uri.CheckHostName("www.contoso.com"));
