    DnsQuery_A Return handling

    Hi I'm using DnsQuery_A

    Code:
    DnsQuery_A("hotmail.com"
                   DNS_TYPE_MX,
                   DNS_QUERY_STANDARD,
                   NULL,
                   &pRecordList,
                   NULL);
    From here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...s/dnsquery.asp
    Returns success confirmation upon successful completion. Otherwise, returns the appropriate DNS-specific error code as defined in Winerror.h.
    But it's still messed up in my mind.. how can I check for a success?

    Thanx

    Returns success confirmation upon successful completion.
    That is a rather unhelpful statement! A quick check reveals that it returns NOERROR (0) on success and one of the Win32 error codes on failure. Specifically, one of the DNS error codes. You may be interested in this post.
    Code:
    if ( NOERROR == DnsQuery_A("hotmail.com"
                   DNS_TYPE_MX,
                   DNS_QUERY_STANDARD,
                   NULL,
                   &pRecordList,
                   NULL) )
    {
        // success!
    }
