Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Net.NameResolution.dll

Source:

Dns.cs

Caution

BeginResolve has been deprecated. Use BeginGetHostEntry instead.

Begins an asynchronous request to resolve a DNS host name or IP address to an IPAddress instance.

public:
 static IAsyncResult ^ BeginResolve(System::String ^ hostName, AsyncCallback ^ requestCallback, System::Object ^ stateObject);

[System.Obsolete("BeginResolve has been deprecated. Use BeginGetHostEntry instead.")]
public static IAsyncResult BeginResolve (string hostName, AsyncCallback? requestCallback, object? stateObject);

[<System.Obsolete("BeginResolve has been deprecated. Use BeginGetHostEntry instead.")>]
static member BeginResolve : string * AsyncCallback * obj -> IAsyncResult

Public Shared Function BeginResolve (hostName As String, requestCallback As AsyncCallback, stateObject As Object) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

hostName

String

The DNS name of the host.

requestCallback

AsyncCallback

An AsyncCallback delegate that references the method to invoke when the operation is complete.

stateObject

Object

A user-defined object that contains information about the operation. This object is passed to the requestCallback delegate when the operation is complete.

Returns

IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult instance that references the asynchronous request.

Attributes

ObsoleteAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

hostName is null.

SocketException

The caller does not have permission to access DNS information.

Examples

The following example uses BeginResolve to resolve a DNS host name to an IPAddress.

Remarks

The asynchronous BeginResolve operation must be completed by calling the EndResolve method. Typically, the method is invoked by the requestCallback delegate.

This method does not block until the operation is complete. To block until the operation is complete, use the Resolve method.

Note

This member emits trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing in the .NET Framework.
