CDnsClient::GetRetryCount
INT GetRetryCount();

The GetRetryCount returns the retry count for the current client session.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, the return value is the retry count. If the method fails, the return value is DNS_ERROR. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The retry count determines the amount of time the client will wait for a response from each query, the effective amount of time the client will wait increases with each nameserver and the total number of retries specified. For example, two nameservers registered with the client, with a default of 4 retries per nameserver and a timeout value of 10 seconds, would cause the client to wait a total of 80 seconds until it returns an error indicating that it was unable to resolve the query.

Server: Requires Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server.
