Sample Projects:

Web Server a simple multi-threaded VB application serves up web pages

TCP Client shows non-blocking interactive operation

TCP Blaster shows blocking interactive operation

UDP Client shows how to build an interactive "chat" utility

RAS Client shows dial-up operation

Ping Client ping any host on your network

DNS Client demonstrates interaction with any Domain Name Server

WebAlive compares the performance of 2 web servers (VB only)

Chat Client uses a simple protocol and multicast datagrams to join chat sessions

Benefits & Features:

Advanced Debugging

Automatic error reporting through the COM interface

Easy to use in blocking or non-blocking environments

Advanced in-bound and out-bound buffering

TCP Search Method supports variable length records and line processing, eliminating the need to search for termination characters and simplifying buffer management

TCP Fill Method supports fixed length binary records, simplifying buffer management and reducing the code needed to send and receive binary structures

UDP supports raw datagrams, providing the ability to access advanced protocols like ICMP

UDP supports multicast datagrams, allowing you to send and receive streaming protocols, and to easily construct chat programs

RAS can be invisible or visible, simplifying user configuration

DNS Control bypasses Winsock system services, so you can query ANY Domain Name Server on the Internet

Ping Control will confirm the presence of any host on the Internet, even if hosted server applications are not responding

Controls can operate on separate threads, so Server Applications can be written using apartment model multi-threading features
