WHOIS ActiveX Control: A Powerful Tool for Domain Information Retrieval
Magneto Software's WHOIS ActiveX Control offers developers an efficient means to access domain registration data, but its usability is hampered by a steep learning curve and limited documentation.
WHOIS ActiveX Control can be used to retrieve information about a specific domain, such as the registrant's company name, address, or contact information. In Autodetect mode it can intelligently query the right remote database based on the query type (host IP address, host name, or domain name) and on the corresponding designated WHOIS server. In many countries different sub-domains have different designated WHOIS databases, WHOIS ActiveX control can easily handle that. The control can also query any WHOIS server with any request necessary. WHOIS ActiveX Control has an extensive database that contains all existing Top Level Domain information and many second-level and even third level domains. This information can be accessed, modified, added to, or customized as necessary.
WHOIS ActiveX Control is capable of processing multiple WHOIS requests simultaneously. It is fully compliant with RFC 954.
The control can be used from any Windows-based applications development environment, including Visual Studio.
It comes with documentation, sample code, and working demo programs.
