The .NET libraries don't have a ready-made class/API for WHOIS queries, but
that usually isn't a problem. This is because the WHOIS service is a very
simple text-based ("telnet") interface, and it is documented in RFC 954:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0954.txt

The only thing you need to do is send a text string to port 43 of a WHOIS
server. For example, try the following command from the command line:

telnet whois.arin.net 43

....and then type in "@microsoft.com" and press Enter. You get a long reply.

Now, to do this programmatically, you could use the
System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient class. See the .NET Framework documentation for
examples. Another option would be to use Indy.Sockets components from here:

http://www.indyproject.org/Sockets/Download/DotNet.en.iwp

And the docs: http://docs.projectindy.org/online/TIdWhois.html

For you information, Indy.Sockets is an open-source project for TCP/IP
programming.
