This one is very simple. Everybody should now how to do this.

Imports:

Code:

using System.Net;

Code:

Code:

static string DNStoIP(string DNS)
        {
            try
            {
                IPHostEntry DNSHosts = Dns.GetHostEntry(DNS);
                IPAddress[] DNSIPs = DNSHosts.AddressList;
                return Convert.ToString(DNSIPs[0]);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }

Usage:

Code:

Console.WriteLine(DNStoIP("google.com"));

This is new to me; I've never used Dns.GetHostEntry before since you can do the same action using ping/reply.

Well thanks for this thread and you certainly taught me something new ;)
