Parameters

name

The host name to validate. This can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address or an Internet host name.

Returns

A UriHostNameType that indicates the type of the host name. If the type of the host name cannot be determined or if the host name is null or a zero-length string, this method returns UriHostNameType.Unknown.

Remarks

The Uri.CheckHostName(string) method checks that the host name provided meets the requirements for a valid Internet host name. It does not, however, perform a host-name lookup to verify the existence of the host.

Example

using System;

public class UriTest {
 public static void Main() {
 
 Console.WriteLine(Uri.CheckHostName("www.contoso.com"));
 }
}
