Asynchronously resolves an IP address to an IPHostEntry instance.
public:
static IAsyncResult ^ BeginGetHostEntry(System::Net::IPAddress ^ address, AsyncCallback ^ requestCallback, System::Object ^ stateObject);
public static IAsyncResult BeginGetHostEntry (System.Net.IPAddress address, AsyncCallback? requestCallback, object? stateObject);
public static IAsyncResult BeginGetHostEntry (System.Net.IPAddress address, AsyncCallback requestCallback, object stateObject);
static member BeginGetHostEntry : System.Net.IPAddress * AsyncCallback * obj -> IAsyncResult
Public Shared Function BeginGetHostEntry (address As IPAddress, requestCallback As AsyncCallback, stateObject As Object) As IAsyncResult
Parameters
- address
- IPAddress
The IP address to resolve.
- 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
An IAsyncResult instance that references the asynchronous request.
Exceptions
address
is null
.
An error is encountered when resolving address
.
address
is an invalid IP address.

Remarks
The BeginGetHostEntry method asynchronously queries a DNS server for the IP addresses and aliases associated with an IP address.
Note This member emits trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing in the .NET Framework.
The asynchronous BeginGetHostEntry operation must be completed by calling the EndGetHostEntry 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 GetHostEntry method.
