SocketTools ActiveX Edition Features

• Supported protocols include DNS, FTP, HTTP, ICMP, IMAP4, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, SSH and TELNET. General purpose TCP and UDP client and server support is also included, along with support for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A single interface provides both synchronous and asynchronous network connections.
• Secure connections are supported using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Shell (SSH) protocols. Security features in the components can be enabled with just a few lines of code and do not require any experience with data encryption or cryptography.
• The ActiveX controls are based on the Active Template Library (ATL) with no external dependencies on third-party libraries such as the Visual C++ runtime. They can be used with Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++, dBase Plus and any other language that supports the Component Object Model (COM) and ActiveX standard. This also includes Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Microsoft Office, and scripting languages such as VBScript.
• For developers who are using Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic.NET, the ActiveX controls can be used in both types of projects. With the SocketTools ActiveX Edition, you can leverage your existing code in new applications while maintaining your legacy software. And if you plan to move completely to the .NET platform, the ActiveX controls have similar properties, methods and events to our .NET classes, making the transition even easier.
