NLS: Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Conversion Sample

The sample application described in this topic demonstrates how certain NLS functions can be used to convert internationalized domain names (IDNs). This application demonstrates the following NLS API functions:

In the sample output, note that, "ExAmPlE.cOm" is converted to "русский.example.com" for the Cyrillic example.
