Properties

| WhoIsServer | String | Specifies a WHOIS server at
Internet, for example "whois.networksolutions.com". |
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 |
Example
Dim sWhoIsData As String
WhoIs1.WhoIsServer = "whois.networksolutions.com"
' Specify a WHOIS
server
sWhoIsData = WhoIs1.GetInfo("microsoft.com")
' Get WHOIS data for
www.microsoft.com
