SocketWrench 5.0
Internet Application Development Components
SocketWrench is a general purpose networking component and library designed to simplify the development of Internet-based applications. Using SocketWrench, you can connect to any service over the Internet, and can even create your own custom server applications. The product is available in several editions, including a .NET class library for Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005, an ActiveX control for use in classic languages like Visual Basic 6.0, as well as a standard dynamic link library (DLL) which can be used with virtually any Windows programming language.
SocketWrench .NET Edition
SocketWrench comes in three different editions: the .NET Edition, the
Standard Edition, and the Secure Edition. The SocketWrench .NET Edition is a
managed class library designed for the .NET Framework and can be used with
Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Borland
Developer Studio 2006. SocketWrench .NET provides
full support for general purpose Internet programming and can be used to
create both client server applications. The .NET edition also includes
support for secure connections using the industry standard SSL and TLS
protocols. By simply setting a few properties, a secure connection using
128-bit encryption can be established, providing your application with the
greatest flexibility and highest level of security available. The
SocketWrench .NET class interface is similar to the interface used by the
ActiveX version of the component, simplifying the transition between the two
development platforms. Developers who are familiar with the SocketWrench
ActiveX control will find SocketWrench .NET just as easy to use, without the
inherent overhead of using a managed class wrapper to reference the control
in Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#.

SocketWrench Secure Edition
The SocketWrench Secure Edition includes an ActiveX control
for visual development using languages such as Visual Basic, and a
dynamic link library (DLL) for use with languages such as Visual C++. For
developers who must maintain legacy applications or prefer to use
ActiveX/COM components, SocketWrench offers a way to easily include Internet
functionality in an application. In addition to supporting standard
network connections, the SocketWrench Secure Edition also supports secure,
encrypted connections using the industry standard SSL and TLS protocols.
And unlike some other components which depend on third-party libraries
for their security features, SocketWrench uses only standard Windows
libraries, which means that there are no complex redistribution requirements
or special export requirement.
