The WSAStringToAddress function converts a network address in its standard text presentation form into its numeric binary form in a sockaddr structure, suitable for passing to Windows Sockets routines that take such a structure.

5: DsAddressToSiteNames

Prior to calling he DsAddressToSiteNames function, a SOCKET_ADDRESS structure must be created for each address that is to be resolved to a site name. This can be done using the WSAStringToAddress method shown in the sample code.

// Call into WSAStringToAddress to build SOCKET_ADDRESS structure from the address string

int result = WSAStringToAddress(

// Check for failure from the WSAStringToAddress method
