C++ Name Resolution Program Example
Create a new CLR console application and you can use ResolveNameChap6CP as the project and solution names if you want.
Add the following code. |
|
// ResolveNameChap6CP.cpp : main project file. /// <summary> /// This sample is designed to resolve a name using DNS forward lookup /// techniques and demonstrates how to do this using the .Net Framework /// class System.Net.Dns. To run this application, simply provide a name /// to resolve as a command line parameter. If the name is found in DNS, /// the program will print out the primary host name along with all IP /// addresses that are associated with the name. The program will also /// print any alias names that are associated with the name being queried. /// </summary>
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System; using namespace System::Net; using namespace System::Net::Sockets;
/// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [STAThread] int main(array<System::String ^> ^args) { if (args->Length < 1) { Console::WriteLine("Usage: Executable_file_name <name to resolve>"); Console::WriteLine("Example: Executable_file_name www.yahoo.com"); return 0; }
try { IPHostEntry^ IPHost = Dns::GetHostEntry(args[0]->ToString());
// Print out the host name that was queried Console::WriteLine("The primary host name is: " + IPHost->HostName->ToString());
// Print out any aliases that are found if (IPHost->Aliases->Length > 0) { Console::WriteLine("Aliases found are:"); for each (String^ Alias in IPHost->Aliases) { Console::WriteLine(Alias); } } Console::WriteLine("No Aliases found..."); Console::WriteLine("IP addresses found are:");
int IPv4Count = 0; int IPv6Count = 0;
// Print out all the IP addresses that are found Console::WriteLine("\nPrinting out all the found IP addresses..."); for each (IPAddress^ Address in IPHost->AddressList) { if (Address->AddressFamily == AddressFamily::InterNetwork) { IPv4Count++; Console::WriteLine("IPv4 Address #" + IPv4Count.ToString() + " is " + Address->ToString()); } else if (Address->AddressFamily == AddressFamily::InterNetworkV6) { IPv6Count++; Console::WriteLine("IPv6 Address #" + IPv6Count.ToString() + " is " + Address->ToString()); } } } catch (Exception^ e) { Console::WriteLine("GetHostEntry() failed with error: " + e->Message); } return 0; } |
Build and run the project. The following are the output samples.
C# Name Resolution Program Example
Create a new console application project. You can use the project and solution name as shown in the following Figure if you want.
Add the following code.
