Methods
GetInfo (Address As String) As
String
Returns WHOIS information
about a domain name. The parameter Address
specifies the specific domain to request information about. The
method returns WHOIS data as a string. If an error occurs, the
method returns an empty string and an error code can be obtained
by calling the GetLastError method.
Some WHOIS servers require
that the "www." at the beginning is excluded, so for
example if you want to make a WHOIS request about Microsoft, you
must enter "microsoft.com".
GetLastError
() As Long
Returns an error code for
the last error that occurred in the control.
A list of possible error codes is
available here.
