Dns ActiveX Control

Use the Dns control to integrate domain name resolution into any COM application, allowing your application to easily resolve domain names, host addresses, and email addresses. Features include:

  • The Dns control bypasses Winsock system services, so you can query ANY Domain Name Server on the Internet.
  • Resolve a domain name to a dot address (forward lookup)
  • Resolve a dot address to a domain name (reverse lookup)
  • Resolve an email address to the mail server responsible for the mail server (mx lookup)
  • The Dns control comes complete with extensive samples.
Development Environments
  • Visual Studio .NET (.NET Framework)
  • Visual Basic (VB)
  • Visual C++ (VC++)
  • FoxPro
  • ASP
  • Office 97/2000

' Specify the DNS server to use to resolve the request
Dns1.ServerName = "Dns1.nameserver.com"

' Get the IP address for a url
Dns1.GetAddress "dart.com"

' show the result to the user
MsgBox "Address of dart.com: " & Dns1.Addresses(1)
