ViewPoint is a powerful ActiveX/COM DLL used for retrieving and monitoring network information. It offers access to data such as TCP/UDP connections, interface cards, route tables, and essential network statistics.
ViewPoint is a powerful ActiveX/COM DLL that enables developers to query and monitor network activity on machines using Windows operating systems. This tool provides access to a wealth of data, including real-time information on current TCP/UDP connections, interface card details (such as MAC address), and statistics and counters for over 60 TCP, UDP, ICMP, and IP metrics. Additionally, ViewPoint offers Net To Media information (underlying information on media such as network drives) and route table information.
Using ViewPoint is straightforward. Once you've set up an instance of the component, simply call the ConnectionRefresh method to update connection information for any properties starting with "Connection," and then use any of the methods or properties to access IP addresses, ports, or other connection details. All methods and properties are organized by the types of information they return, with names that make their purpose clear.
For example, any method that begins with "Connection" provides information about connections, while those beginning with "Interface" return details about network interface cards. Similarly, "IPAddr" methods provide information on IP addresses, "IPNetToMedia" methods offer data about network media connections (such as network drives), and "IPRoute" methods provide insights into routing tables.
Each of these method families returns an array of data, with the number of elements in each array corresponding to the number of connections, interface cards, IP addresses, network media connections, or routing table entries associated with the machine being monitored. Overall, ViewPoint is a valuable tool for developers who need to gain insights into network activity on Windows machines.
