    Domain name whois

    hi all, i want to create a software that verifies if a domain name, or more, like 5 is available, just check if available or not! Nothing else, no big whois report, but i cant find a good domain whois that replies with yes or no. the only one i found, is working under aspx and i cant put it to work.
    Does anyone know any way to do this?

    that seems to be the solution.
    what do you recommend for pharsing, inet, winsock, and, using a textbox or putting everything into a listbox and check every line ?

    Look at the document returned from the site you'll be using, and parse that text out using InStr(). There's no 'quick and dirty' way of doing it unless the data you want is in a table (which would make it a little simpler, but not that much).
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
