Convert Domain Name to I.P Address

Tweet

A user asked me on the forums if it was possible to convert a domain name to an I.P. Address. The answer is quiet simple. Just use the System.Net.Dns class

C#

using System.Net;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    foreach (IPAddress address in 

        Dns.GetHostAddresses("www.devcurry.com"))

    {  

        Response.Write(address.ToString());

    }

}

VB.NET

Imports System.Net

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _

                     ByVal e As EventArgs)

    For Each address As IPAddress In 

    Dns.GetHostAddresses("www.devcurry.com")

        Response.Write(address.ToString())

    Next address

End Sub
