Request information from the WINS server

Sep 29th, 2007

Hi,
My name is David and I'm an IT developer using C#.Net on Microsoft
infrastructure.

I'm building a class library that converts a domain user name to the
computer the user is logged in to.
The computer and user are both found on a single Microsoft domain.

This how I do it using CMD commands:
1. net send {user name} ""
2. nbtstat -c
3. get the IP address that the WINS server returned

I want to get the computer without using CMD Commands on C#, perhaps
by using a method to get information from the WINS server.
Can you help me find a better way to do this?
