Public Instance Methods
| BeginLookup | Overloaded. Initiates an asynchronous lookup operation. |
| BeginReceive | Overloaded. Initiates an asynchronous receive operation. |
| BeginReverseLookup | Overloaded. Initiates an asynchronous reverse lookup operation. |
| BeginSend | Overloaded. Initiates an asynchronous send operation. |
| Dispose | Dispose of the DnsClient and the underlying socket object. |
| EndLookup | Completes the specified asynchronous lookup operation. |
| EndReceive | Completes the specified asynchronous receive operation. |
| EndReverseLookup | Completes the specified asynchronous reverse lookup operation. |
| EndSend | Completes the specified asynchronous send operation. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
