WHOIS in vb.net

[Vjay77]

I am playing with idea to create a small application which will
basically do this:
- one textbox
- you put in the name of any domain you wish (existing or not)
- press the button
- it should find out if the domain name I inserted into the textbox
exist or not and if it does it should obtain the registry
information

There is many of these applications already, but I want to make it
myself.
Could someone tell me how I could get whois registry information from
inside of vb.net?
Or how to find out if domain exists or not?
Please let me know.

Answer to your problem is here:

Check this out:
http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...=639&lngWId=10

Downloadable project from this ,will give you the program which takes
an ip address or domain name and look up the DNS info (domain name,
ip address(s)) and then do a WhoIs on a whois server.

Enjoy.

Hi Herfried,

I did wanted to give that link, but did not know if it was as good as the
other one.
So I did not.

:-))

(I looked it offer, I think there is not really much difference)

From the other one is the interface more nice looking, yours is better
documentated between the line (although it is German)
..
I give it next time.
:-))

My tool is designed for use within a, for example, batch script or
something like that. Nevertheless, the class used to perform the query
is highly reusable.
