Resolve a Hostname to an IP Address

Demonstrates Socket.DnsLookup, which resolves a hostname and returns one numeric IP address.

Background. A maxWaitMs of 0 waits indefinitely; a positive value bounds the wait. Resolved results may be served from Chilkat's process-wide DNS cache.

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

//  Resolve a hostname to a numeric IP address, waiting up to 5 seconds.
string ipAddress = socket.DnsLookup("example.com",5000);
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Resolved IP address: " + ipAddress);
