The SocketWrench Standard Edition
consists of a library and ActiveX control which uses the Windows
Sockets API to provide basic TCP/IP networking functionality to your
application. Support for both TCP and UDP protocols, as well as the
complete Windows Sockets API is provided through the component.
Virtually any type of application which needs to communicate with
another, either on a local network or over the Internet, can be
written using the SocketWrench Standard Edition. There are no
external dependencies on third-party libraries. The component can be
used on all Windows platforms from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista.

The SocketWrench Standard Edition
contains an ActiveX control for use in visual development tools such
as Visual Basic and FoxPro. It also contains a dynamic link library
(DLL) which can be used in a wide variety of programming languages,
both those supported in Visual Studio as well as third-party
languages and scripting tools. For C/C++ programmers, complete
header files and class wrappers are also included with SocketWrench.
The .NET development platform supports the use of COM objects and
unmanaged DLLs, which allows you to develop applications using
SocketWrench in .NET as well. The component can be used on all
Windows platforms from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista. Support for
both TCP and UDP protocols is provided, as well as the complete
Windows Sockets API. Virtually any type of application which needs
to communicate with another, either on a local network or over the
Internet, can be written using the SocketWrench Standard Edition.
The SocketWrench Standard Edition has been completely redesigned
and implemented, taking advantage of our experience in building
client and server components for the Windows platform. The interface
has been significantly simplified, while retaining all of the
features and functionality that developers expect. Some key new
features are:
- Improved performance and reliability, this new version has been
redesigned so that there is less overhead, reduced memory
requirements and higher overall throughput;
- Improved interface to make development using SocketWrench easier
and more straight-forward; fewer lines of code are needed to
accomplish the same task;
- Simplified distribution means that you only need to redistribute
the single SocketWrench component; there are no external third-party
file dependencies which can complicate installations on target
platforms.
In addition to these new features, the SocketWrench Standard
Edition continues to provide the same advantages offered by previous
versions. There are no runtime licensing fees, and there are no
restrictions on the number of products which may be developed using
SocketWrench. |
