How to determine which TCP ports are listening?

Is there anyway to programmatically determine which TCP ports are currently actively in a LISTENING state?  I can do this with netstat -an -p tcp of course but I wanted to put this into a DLL function.  I've tried playing around with the MFC CSocket class.  But I'm finding that calls to Create() and Listen() on the port will success on ports that are in the LISTENING state -- just not on ports with ESTABLISHED sessions.  I want to find a way to make sure that the port a user is allowed to select is not in a LISTENING state at all to hopefully preclude any conflicts later.  Thanks in advance!

I also used netstat for this. Piped the output and used grep to find lines with portnumber and listening. Works fine for me. I didnt find any better way to do this.

There is a tool, TCPView, a Windows program that shows you detailed listings
of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system.

Source code of this usefull tool is not available but the command line version demonstrates
the MSDN IP Helper interface and is available here for download with source: I think it's a
good starting point (look at the bottom of the page).
