I'm trying to figure out if this is even possible, but what's the simplest way of advertising a Bonjour service through Visual C++?

Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of devices and services on a local network using industry standard IP protocols.
Bonjour, meaning hello in French, allows for zero-configuration networking between different types of devices. You can use it to find other Apple services on a network, connect to other devices like network printers (that provide Bonjour support), or access shared drives.
You can use the DNS Service Discovery client: dns-sd.
Windows Bonjour Installer puts it in C:\Windows\system32\dns-sd.exe
Its synopsis is:
dns-sd -R name type domain port [key=value ...]
dns-sd -B type domain
dns-sd -L name type domain
There isn't any easy way to find indepth Bonjour windows documentation, (and it's a serious shame) but here's the manpage for its mac equivalent:
http://developer.apple.com/.../dns-sd.1.html
There is also C:\Windows\system32\dnssd.dll whose API, I unfortunately have to suppose, conforms to this document:
http://developer.apple.com/.../dns_sd_h/
