Lookup SPF record in C#

We have retrieved already MX and SRV records. Now let's take SPF record from DNS server. SPF string is TXT record(s) and if you are looking for google.com record proceed with
nslookup -type=TXT google.com

Csharp class looks like

public class nDnsQuery
    {
        public nDnsQuery()
        {
        }

        [DllImport("dnsapi", EntryPoint = "DnsQuery_W", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true)]
        private static extern int DnsQuery([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.VBByRefStr)]ref string pszName, QueryTypes wType, QueryOptions options, int aipServers, ref IntPtr ppQueryResults, int pReserved);

        [DllImport("dnsapi", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
        private static extern void DnsRecordListFree(IntPtr pRecordList, int FreeType);

Lookup SRV record in C#

Similar to MX lookup, we can use WINAPI DnsQuery from csharp to complete DNS SRV request.
