With 128 bit end to end cryptographic licensing, the Desaware Licensing System does not depend on hidden files, registry entries or other invasive techniques.

Add a variety of components to your toolbox, while learning the techniques behind them. ActiveX Gallimaufry is a collection of ActiveX components covering a variety of different functionality, from graphics manipulations, the Win32 API, and transparency, to complex concepts such subclassing, and memory management. Each component comes with sample code and extensive documentation enabling you to learn the programming concepts as you explore using the components.

Integrate file property management into your applications. The Desaware File Property Component allows you to read and write file properties that are part of Microsoft Office and other structured storage files, and files located on Windows 2000 NTFS drives. Use it to add properties to your own documents or for searching through files on a drive for certain attributes. Features the ability to read/write properties for MS Office files, other structured storage files, or any file on an NTFS partition.

Create full featured NT Services. More than just "running as a service" Desaware NT Services Toolkit allows you to build services that support all NT service options and controls. Services hold a distinct advantage over applications in the area of system monitors, background tasks, business objects, etc. Create your own Control Panel applets for service control and other purposes.

Create a full featured service in minutes using .NET, even debug your service using the .NET environment. Although the .NET framework supports the creation of simple services, the NT Service Toolkit allows you to create more robust and complex services in minutes. Features include: easy development and debugging, automatic COM/DCOM/Remoting support, advanced thread management, self installing executables and the ability to create control panel applets. Easy migration path from the COM based edition.

Create custom event sources for logging events into the NT/2000 event log. The Event Log Toolkit overcomes the generic "VB runtime" event logging, along with its limited descriptions and lack of event categories. With it you can create self-registering, custom event sources that have no dependencies, allowing your application to send events to the Windows NT/2000 event log using an unlimited number of event categories and containing clear descriptions of each event.

Managed Code INI File Component. INIFileTool-5M makes it easy for you to read and write INI files from your .NET applications or web applications. Not only does it avoid the need for API calls, but more important, it is a 100% managed code solution that does not use API calls, thus is able to run in partial trust scenarios.

Add line and scatter plot graphs to your ASP.NET applications. LineGraph-5M is a Web Custom Control that allows you to add Line and Scatter Plot graphs to your ASP.NET pages. It can create graphs with an absolute minimum of effort, yet contains enough options to allow you to customize its appearance and function to suit varied needs. Numeric data can be plotted on both axis and date/time information can be plotted on the X axis. All types of color and style attributes can be changed.
