Sockets4Whois is a full featured .NET component that can perform Whois lookups using any whois server. It can perform thousands of whois queries per second.

Don't know the address of a valid whois server? No problem, Sockets4Whois can supply default these servers provided by Network Solutions.

How easy is it to do a whois lookup? Check out this code sample:

dim w as New Whois()
w.SetServer("whois.register.com")
Console.WriteLine(w.Query("powlette.com"))
