ResolveName Method

Resolves a host name.

Syntax

ipinfo.resolveName(hostName, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method resolves the host name HostName and sets HostAddress to the IP Address of the host corresponding to HostName.

Calling this method is equivalent to setting the HostName property to HostName.

Example (Resolve a Name)

IPInfoControl.ResolveName ("MyHostName")
While (IPInfoControl.PendingRequests > 0)
    IPInfoControl.DoEvents
Wend
Debug.Print IPInfoControl.HostAddress
