IP Address Hostname Convertor

This is an IP Address-Hostname converter written in C# Windows Forms.

This is an IP Address-Hostname converter written in C# using Windows Forms. You simply enter a hostname or IP address in the boxes on the form and press the arrow button to convert it. While calling the DNS resolver, the mouse cursor becomes a WaitCursor.



The screen shot shows that www.yahoo.co.jp has several IP addresses.
