It depends on what type of DNS lookup you're trying to do. If it's a simple
host name->IP address (IPv4 or v6), you can use getnameinfo in Winsock. The
DNSQuery_W is only needed if you're doing like a non-A/AAAA query. If
you're doing that, we really don't have any helpers to do that for you from
the OS side - sorry. You may look around to see if there's helper library
floating around out there that you may be able to recompile for CE (assuming
you're comfortable with whatever licensing agreements they may put on you.)
Again, sorry we don't have a better solution for you. It won't help now but
ROM prices are dropping pretty quickly so future WM devices we can start
including more components like DNSAPI for you.

Thanks for your reply, can you just calrify for me then, as I'm trying to
write a piece of software for Windows mobile, which requires a DNS lookup,
are there any provided helper classes for this, or am I goign to have to
write the DNS lookup stuff myself?

I'm afraid we don't include dnsapi.dll (which includes the function you
want) as part of Windows Mobile releases. We do have the API for general
embedded customers, but it wasn't included on WM due to ROM size
constraints. The fact you have the header and lib file is because they
slipped into the SDK by mistake, I apologize for the inconvenience. We
go
through reviews to make sure things like this don't happen and I'll
follow
up on this one for future SDK releases.

Hi,
Can I use the DnsQuery_W method in a C++ windows mobile app? the only
versions of the header file and dnsapi.lib that I have are under the
platform
sdk - which I'm not convinced is right for this - am I missing
something?
cheers.
