SocketTools Secure .NET Edition
$695 - Catalyst Development Corporation

The SocketTools Secure .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. With integrated support for secure, encrypted connections using the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, the product includes nineteen class libraries and components which can be used to develop applications that meet a wide range of needs. All of the major protocols are supported, including secure versions of HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4. Secure sessions can be established just by setting a few properties and do not require any special knowledge of security protocols or encryption.

The SocketTools components are written in C# and are compatible with any Visual Studio.NET language. The SocketTools classes support both synchronous and asynchronous network connections, a thread-safe implementation with full support for multithreaded applications and support for proxy servers including secure proxies using FTP and HTTP. Secure connections using SSL and TLS are also supported using 128-bit encryption, providing integrated security features that can be enabled with just a few lines of code.

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. Catalyst is a trusted company with over 10 years experience developing Internet components, with extensive technical support resources for developers new to Internet application development.

Catalyst File Transfer .NET
$295 - Catalyst Development Corporation

The Catalyst File Transfer .NET component enables developers to easily integrate file transfer functionality within their applications. This .NET class implements the standard protocols for sending and receiving files over the Internet and corporate intranets, and can be used in a wide variety of programming languages which can use .NET components.

Designed specifically for rapid application development, a single component provides a flexible, comprehensive interface without requiring that the developer use several controls and write additional code to integrate them. A simpler, unified interface means fewer lines of source code, less complexity and reduced maintenance costs, allowing developers to focus on their core application.

Advanced features, such as proxied connections and secure encrypted connections, are also part of the standard feature set of the product. The component can transfer a file with a single method, simply by specifying a URL, as in a web browser, without the need to separately supply the protocol, host, port, file name, and account information. Redirection to relocated resources is handled internally, without the need for the application to interpret server responses.

The Catalyst File Transfer .NET component was developed using the core technologies in the SocketTools .NET product, and is based on a solid foundation of award-winning software which conforms to standard protocols and has been market tested since 1995. This product includes example programs, a printable Developer's Guide and Technical Reference as well as context-sensitive online help. As with all Catalyst components, the File Transfer .NET component is licensed royalty-free, without any runtime licensing fees.

SocketTools .NET Edition
$395 - Catalyst Development Corporation

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. Catalyst is a trusted company with over 10 years experience developing Internet components, with extensive technical support resources for developers new to Internet application development.

SocketTools Scripting Edition
$395 - Catalyst Development Corporation

SocketTools Scripting Edition consists of Component Object Model (COM) libraries designed primarily for use in scripting languages such as VBScript, JavaScript and PHP. While the interface to the Scripting Edition components is similar to the ActiveX controls in the Visual Edition, the internal design has significant differences. The Scripting Edition components do not have the inherent overhead of ActiveX controls and they implement a threading model that makes them much more efficient to use with Active Server Pages (ASP) and similar environments. Unlike other software development toolkits which may use complicated data structures or require a complex interdependency between objects, the SocketTools interface is designed to be simple to understand and use. For example, there are no language specific constructs like C unions in our Library Edition API. By focusing on providing a clean interface that only requires intrinsic data types and simple structures, SocketTools can be used in a wide variety of programming languages beyond just C and C++. Likewise, our Visual and Scripting Edition components implement a straight-forward interface that is designed to be compatible with virtually any language that can use COM objects.
