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.

' Get WHOIS data
for www.microsoft.com
