PowerTCP Sockets for .NET

What's new in PowerTCP Sockets for .NET V4.4?

• A new DNS component that enhances what is available in the .NET Framework.  Lookup MX records, select the DNS server to use, and specify local endpoint to bind to.
• Connect methods have been updated to take a serializable Session object as a parameter, facilitating the saving of state information within an application.
• AuthenticateClient and AuthenticateServer methods have been updated to take a serializable Security object as a parameter.
• ReadToDelimiter, ReadToCount and ReadToEnd methods have been updated to throw a new DataException, which provides any data read up to the exception.

What's new in PowerTCP Sockets for .NET V4.3?
This release features an innovative, elegant new design, making TCP/IP-based communications easier to work with than ever before. You can implement state-of-the-art multi-threaded operations, create sophisticated high-performance server applications and include SSL for airtight security. Highlights include:

• Improved Asynchronous Support, which uses fewer resources, is more flexible, and produces code that is easier to maintain
• Improved Use of .NET Features including generics and IPv6
• SSL support for secure communications from a single method call
• SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HttpConnect proxy design editor support
• Create servers with dedicate worker threads for each incoming connection, or make asynchronous reads utilizing efficient IO completion threads
• Look-up MX Records, including server preferences
• Ping without the need of admin permissions using system dlls
• Broadcast pings over a network
• Trace routes to discover bottlenecks
• Support for Windows applications, services and ASP.NET web applications
• Many sample projects for C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI, including ASP.NET
• Comprehensive MS Help 2.0 and Help Viewer 1.0 integrated documentation
• Stand-alone and online documentation also provided
• NET Framework 4 Client Profile compatible
• 64-bit OS support

Features:

• AutoReceive technology reduces code by managing all incoming data
• On-the-fly data parsing and Event notification with the TCP component
• Supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies
• High server performance with every connection receiving a separate thread (tested to accept over 75 connections per second)
• Designed for usage on the desktop, in a Web Service, or in ASP.NET
• Unique asynchronous UDP send/receive capability enhances what is provided in the Microsoft .NET Framework
• EnhancedStream and PipeStream classes allow developers to create their own powerful Streams
• Look-ups, reverse address look-ups, and mail address look-ups (from MX records) with user defined DNS servers using the Dns component
• Ping component allows for host verification using ICMP, UDP, and TCP protocols
• Trace supports asynchronous echoes for unprecedented trace route performance
• Each component architected to take advantage of .NET object-oriented capabilities
• Each component has multi-threaded asynchronous functionality
• Each component allows user-interface events to process during synchronous use
• Each component is thread-safe on critical members
• Supports International character sets
• Debugging has been extended beyond run-time testing to a design-time Editor in every component to allow connectivity to be tested without compiling. Properties set in the Editor are recorded directly in the code, and a real-time feedback window gives detailed information about results
• Includes a royalty-free license
• Over 2 dozen tutorials and a comprehensive reference guide with full support for dynamic help are included with the integrated Help 2.0 documentation
