Resolve a Hostname to an IP Address

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

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

var
socket: TChilkatSocket;
ipAddress: WideString;

begin
socket := TChilkatSocket.Create(Self);

//  Resolve a hostname to a numeric IP address, waiting up to 5 seconds.
ipAddress := socket.DnsLookup('example.com',5000);
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(socket.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;
Memo1.Lines.Add('Resolved IP address: ' + ipAddress);
