I am using the sample code in SocketAsyncEventArgs Class (System.Net.Sockets)in a C# console program. That sample code uses the DnsEndPoint class, but I get the error "The type or namespace name 'DnsEndPoint' could not be found" from it. I have a reference to System.Net and I have the following usings:


I have tried to search for DnsEndPoint and I don't find something relevant.

I admit that I need to learn about network programming. I realize that when I have learned more, I could probably fix this myself. Is there something simple I am overlooking?

I do admit that the DnsEndPoint documentation does say Silverlight at the top. I evidently am confused about what Silverlight is. The Silverlightdocumentation says:

"Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web."

What I have seen about Silverlight, I got the impression that it is something like Adobe Flash. Yet networking stuff such as DnsEndPoint is more like an operating system. It is confusing, especially since Silverlight was not installed with VS 2008.

I did do more reading after I posted this question. I have found the Silverlight documentation explaining how to use it. So I will assume that answers my question.
