- TTC Get Host Custom Control - The
- GetHostAdrs control of GetHost allows you to
- resolve the address of a given host name.
- When called, the method sends the host name
- you provide to a DNS server. The server
- locates the host name and returns the
- address of the host. The GetHostName control
- allows you to reverse the aforementioned
- process and determine a host name from a
- given address. This operation is useful when
- presenting information received from a
- remote node. Instead of reading the address
- of the remote node you can see the actual
- name. Address resolution is important for
- network communications and to bridge human /
- machine communications. Humans can better
- remember host names while computers can only
- use the numeric addresses. The GetHost
- control provides you with the functionality
- required in order to transfer information on
- the Information Superhighway.
