Ipinfo Class
IPInfo Component [IP*Works! V8]

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings  

The IPInfo component is used to resolve host names to host addresses and vice-versa using asynchronous DNS. The component provides access to other TCP/IP database functions as well.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The IPInfo component operates asynchronously. Requests are posted to the component by setting a property like HostName or HostAddress and then waiting for the RequestComplete event. The RequestId property identifies the request.

Up to 100 simultaneous requests can be queued at any moment. PendingRequests shows the number of pending requests, and may also be used to adjust the size of the queue (by dumping a number of the pending requests).
