SocketTools Visual Edition offers ActiveX controls and Visual Basic for developing intranet and internet applications. It supports all major protocols and works across various environments.
All of the controls come with a shared set of attributes. The network controls on this software come with support for both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous modes of operation, along with the ability to log the Windows Sockets function calls for debugging purposes. Moreover, all of the controls can be used in multithreaded containers, particularly in Internet Explorer, and they are thread-safe. With the exception of the visually oriented controls such as the terminal emulation, image viewer, and browser controls, the components can be used as simple Automation objects. There is no need to place them on a form or another container.
The SocketTools Visual Edition supports 32-bit Windows platforms and provides illustrative samples, complete sets of online help with a tutorial to get started, and a comprehensive User Guide and Technical Reference in PDF format, making it easy to print. This software also includes full functionality and the broadest range of features available for constructing Intranet and Internet applications. The components are completely royalty-free and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, providing a comprehensive solution for software developers.
