Detailed Description

The NetworkHost component uses the lookup mechanisms provided by the operating system to find the IP address(es) associated with a host name, or the host name associated with an IP address.

This code sample demonstrates usage of the NetworkHost component. Pressing the button created by this sample will display information about a machine or IP address entered into the provided text area.
