Device.Net VS DnsClient.NET

This one was also a promising alternative at first since it markets itself as cross-platform, but apparently it still isn't. :P https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Device.Net

Relevant XKCD

There are also various nuget packages about that can provide USB / Serial Port functionality, such as https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Device.Net

// in the top of the file // requires installation of https://www.nuget.org/packages/DnsClient using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; using DnsClient; MailAddress to = new MailAddress("[email protected]"); MailAddress from = new MailAddress("[email protected]"); MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to); message.Subject = "See you Monday?"; message.Body = "Elizabeth, I didn't hear back from you. Let me know if we're still scheduled for Monday."; LookupClient lookup = new LookupClient(); IDnsQueryResponse response = lookup.Query("westminster.co.uk", QueryType.MX); foreach(DnsClient.Protocol.MxRecord record in response.Answers) { Console.WriteLine(ObjectDumper.Dump(record.Exchange)); SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(record.Exchange, 25); try { client.Send(message); // if we reached this point, our email was sent and we can break the loop break; } catch(SmtpException ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); } }

Since there's .NET SDK for MS Teams apps and there's a ready-to-use nuget for DNS it's pretty straightforward for .NET devs who got the time. However, I don't see the real value of such apps when you can just share the link for the queries from sites such as DiG GUI or Dig web interface. If you really want to, you can just create a PowerApps to return the result from those sites without any coding
