RemoteHost Property

The address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

property RemoteHost: String;

Default Value

''

Remarks

The RemoteHost property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the remote host.

If RemoteHost is set to 255.255.255.255, the component broadcasts data on the local subnet.

If the RemoteHost property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the RemoteHost property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If UseConnection is set to True, the RemoteHost must be set before the component is activated (Active is set to True).
