Eltima_ and Advanced Swing Components (asc Suite) Software for Windows

TsiLang Components Suite
$259 - SiComponents

Localizing software for different international markets can double and even quadruple sales. This is why almost every software company considers localization a must. Yet, localization is both a complicated and expensive process. Luckily for Delphi, C++Builder, and Kylix developers, there is TsiLang Component Suite - the complete automatic localization solution.

First, TsiLang Component Suite supports the Global Public Translation Database (GPTD), which is a collection of common UI terms and phrases. GPTD is available at www.sicomponents.com. This means you may be able to translate your program interface to most European languages without paying a translator. If you don't know the German term for Access Violation or Save As? simply look it up in GPTD.

The second advantage of this component suite is that it does both internal (inside executable file) and external (separate file or library) localization. Obviously, the first way is preferable when trying to minimize the size of the installation file. Yet, in many instances, additional localization files are added after the program is released. In the latter case, an external localization solution is preferable, because new language files can simply be downloaded from the developer's website.

This is how TsiLang works - a component is dropped onto the form, then the translation for the user interface terms is entered and after that the default language can be changed on-the-fly. It's as simple as that, and the learning curve for TsiLang Component Suite is very low.

TsiLang Component Suite is being used by thousands of developers worldwide, including employees of Sony, Siemens, Bayer and SBF Bourse de Paris. It's a natural choice for smart developers who don't want to do extra coding each time a new language is added. And, the component can be tried absolutely free-of-charge.

Eltima RS232 Data Logger
$0 - ELTIMA Software GmbH

RS232 Data Logger by Eltima Software is an Open Source application which allows you to redirect all communication data from RS232 compliant serial port device into a text file for further analysis. RS232 Data Logger redirects data from any available serial port (doesn't matter whether it is virtual or real one) and works under Virtual Machine (VMWare). You can gather data from multiple serial ports simultaneously. All data recorded as a text can be further analyzed. For instance, you may parse global positioning data (coordinates) from GPS device connected to your notebook via serial port to track your movement; or you may simply investigate and learn how serial ports work. RS232 Data Logger is able to select the file where to redirect incoming data for each port and specify serial port connection parameters (baudrate, parity, stop bits, flow control, databits). Among other hot features of this Data Logger is real-time counter of the received and stored bytes and the ability to work under Virtual Machines. The utility allows you to disable/enable logging on-the-fly and append incoming data to already existing file. RS232 Data Logger is provided with source code (MFC/C++ VC7.1).

Eltima Serial Port Terminal
$39.95 - ELTIMA Software GmbH

The main purpose of Eltima Serial Port Terminal is to establish connection to serial port and send/receive various types of data down the serial line. Eltima Serial Port Terminal is a session-based, multi-purpose application that provides simple communication interface to connect to any serial port device (modem/fax/GPS/mouse/printer and so on).
Eltima Serial Port Terminal allows you to open as many serial ports as you like (including virtual serial ports); dynamically change serial port settings without necessity to close and reopen current port; adjust baudrate, databits, parity, stop bits, flow control parameters; save all received bytes into a file for later analysis and lots more. Being a session-based, Eltima Serial Port Terminal allows creation of options set and saving them under individual session names for different hosts.
Unlike other terminals you may not only send, but also receive and view data in hexadecimal format, switch between dump and terminal view modes, etc, which could be very useful for debugging and testing serial port connections.

.NET Zip Component ZipForge.NET
$299 - ComponentAce LTD

ZipForge.NET is a fast and powerful ZIP compression component for .NET framework.
It lets you easily create zip files, extract files from zip archives to hard drive, add files to a zip archive, replace, move and delete files. You can also read compressed files from a zip archive into memory, and write the files from memory into a zip archive. Additionaly you can create and read self-extracted SFX archives, encrypted and multi-volume zip files.

ZipForge.NET includes our new unique technology, a transaction system. This innovative solution gives you a fast and easy way of updating archive files
providing data integrity just like reliable database systems.

ZipForge.NET Key features:

- Creates archive files in wide known ZIP format by PKZIP, Inc.
- Adds, moves, extracts, deletes, updates, tests, refreshes a group of files by a
single operation
- Performs regularly archive updates using transactions that allow canceling all
modifications at any time in case of certain failures. Also, this technology
optimizes the speed of the archive modification

FTP Component
$0 - ComponentSpot

Microsoft?s .NET Framework class library contains no classes that will allow developers to access File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services directly. KCommon?s FTP component was designed to compensate for the fact that .NET lacks FTP support. With this FTP component, programmers can build either Windows Forms or ASP.NET (Web Forms) applications that will allow users to send or receive a single file or multiple files, using the FTP protocol. Operations for synchronous and asynchronous (using a callback or an event) transfers are supported. KCommon supports passive mode, but does not support active mode, which could cause problems with poorly written firewalls. Recall that in passive mode, the data flow is set up and initiated by the FTP client, rather than the server. This means improved security for the client computer, because it won?t have to deal with data flow being set up by the server. The component is written in C#. It is not marked as CLS compliant. It does not support proxy servers. The online description erroneously refers to an FtpSession type (it should be Session).
