The SocketTools .NET Edition is a collection of managed code classes, designed to simplify the integration of Internet functionality into applications built using the Visual Studio development platform.
SocketTools is ideal for the Visual Basic or C# developer who requires the ease of use and rapid development features of a component, without the complexities of the native socket classes and without requiring in-depth knowledge of how the various Internet protocols are implemented.
SocketTools .NET includes nineteen class libraries and components which can be used to develop applications that meet a wide range of needs. Included are classes for uploading and downloading files, sending and retrieving email messages, remote command execution, terminal emulation, and much more.
The managed code classes are written in C# and are compatible with any Visual Studio.NET language using either Visual Studio.NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005.
The class interfaces are very similar to the SocketTools Visual Edition ActiveX control interfaces so SocketTools users will find it easy to migrate existing applications to the .NET platform.
SocketTools includes both high level and lower level interfaces for maximum flexibility; has low resource utilization with no external dependencies on third-party libraries; support for both synchronous and asynchronous network connections; thread-safe implementation with full support for multithreaded applications; and support for proxy servers using FTP and HTTP.
The product includes an online Developer's Guide and Technical Reference and examples in Visual Basic .NET and C# for both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 and the components can be redistributed without any additional runtime licensing fees or royalties.
SocketTools .NET Edition will prove a useful code classes toolkit for any developer.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added the new Text Message API, C++ class, .NET class and ActiveX control. These components enable an application to send SMS text messages to a mobile device using a wireless carrier's gateway service. Refer to the Technical Reference documentation for more information.
· Changed C++ classes to support methods that reference CString (CStringT) types if ATL is being used. Note that when using ATL, there are several macros which can affect how the CString class is defined and it depends on whether MFC is also being used. For more information, refer to the CStringT class documentation in the MSDN Library.
· Updated several C++ class methods to use more appropriate default values for optional parameters. There were also a number of macros that were defined and used by the SocketTools class wrappers which have been renamed to avoid potential conflicts.
· Added variants of the GetData methods in the FTP and HTTP C++ classes to make it easier to work with string buffers.
· Corrected a prob...
