Ive posted the same code on another thread ...

from this you can take some ideas.


The .Net DNS class can be used to get a host name or an IP of a given host name. To use DNS class in your project, you need to include System.Net

Include System.Net Reference

And say I want to get IP address if http://www.computerhelp.forum/. The given code will do that for you.

[VB]
Imports System
Imports System.Net

Namespace DNSName

<summary>
Summary description for Class1.
</summary>
Class Class1

Entry point which delegates to C-style main Private Function
Public Overloads Shared Sub Main()
Main(System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs())
End Sub

Overloads Shared Sub Main(args() As String)
Dim ipEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostByName("http://www.computerhelp.forum/")
Dim IpAddr As IPAddress() = ipEntry.AddressList
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To IpAddr.Length - 1
Console.WriteLine("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, IpAddr(i).ToString())
Next i
End Sub Main
End Class Class1
End Namespace DNSName
