Sock and Sockettools Secure Library Edition Software for Windows

SocketWrench .NET Edition
$195 - Catalyst Development Corporation

The SocketWrench .NET Edition is a managed code class that simplifies the task of developing TCP/IP networking applications in Visual Studio .NET using any of the available programming languages such as Visual Basic and C#. SocketWrench is ideal for the developer who requires the features and functionality of the native socket classes, without the inherent complexities and learning curve typically involved with network programming. The class provides a comprehensive interface that makes it easy to build both client and server applications, with full support for the TCP and UDP protocols as well as raw sockets.

SocketWrench also includes support for secure, encrypted connections using the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. There's no need for you to understand the details of certificate management, data encryption or how the security protocols work. Secure sessions can be established just by setting a few properties and SocketWrench takes care of the rest. You can easily create secure client and server applications, and there's support for advanced features like client certificates and protocol selection.

For developers who have used the ActiveX version of SocketWrench, you'll immediately find yourself in familiar territory. The SocketWrench .NET class interface has properties, methods and events that are very similar to the control that you've used in languages like Visual Basic 6.0. It is important to keep in mind that SocketWrench .NET is a managed code class, not a wrapper around the ActiveX control, so there will be some inherent differences. However, whenever possible the class interface was designed to make the transition from the ActiveX control as easy as possible.

SSLSocket Wizard ActiveX
$199 - Seekford Solutions, inc

Networks and the Internet are becoming not only a nice thing to have but are now a necessity and your application need to be able to communicate over them. SSL Socket Wizard allows you to easily communicate to a remote server using the TCP protocol and also adds the ability to use Secure Socket Layer protection to the channel. You can communicate using SSL or normal clear-text. The control is designed in such a way that it really doesn't take a lot of knowledge about networks or data communications to implement it. The methods are as simple as connect, getdata and senddata. With the inclusion of data arrival events and other status notifications you can easily add network communication in an event driven manner making it highly suitable for almost any application. SSL Socket Wizard now supports SOCKSv4 and SOCKSv5, also known as SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, FireWall Proxies. Some ideas are: communication channels to bank payment processors that stay connected for very long periods of time custom implemented protocols for communication between applications Implementing communication to another companies applications using proprietary protocols. Network device communication Any data connection to web servers, ftp server, smtp or any other server using the TCP protocol for communication The implementation uses are endless and the ROI is signficant since the control is ROYALTY-FREE and may used in any number of projects as long as each developer has a license. This control works with any ActiveX container and even works in ActiveX scriptable languages such as VBScript

SocketWrench Standard Edition
$95 - Catalyst Development Corporation

The SocketWrench Standard Edition contains an ActiveX control for use in visual development tools such as Visual Basic and FoxPro. It also contains a dynamic link library (DLL) which can be used in a wide variety of programming languages, both those supported in Visual Studio as well as third-party languages and scripting tools. For C/C++ programmers, complete header files and class wrappers are also included with the Standard Edition. The .NET development platform supports the use of COM objects and unmanaged DLLs, which allows you to develop applications using SocketWrench in .NET as well. The component can be used on 32-bit platforms such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Standard client and server capability is provided, as well as support for both TCP and UDP protocols and the complete Windows Sockets API. Virtually any type of application which needs to communicate with another, either on a local network or over the Internet, can be written using the SocketWrench Standard Edition.

The SocketWrench Standard Edition has been completely redesigned and implemented, taking advantage of our experience in building client and server components for the Windows platform. The interface has been significantly simplified, while retaining all of the features and functionality that developers expect.

The SocketWrench Standard Edition continues to provide the same advantages offered by previous versions. There are no runtime licensing fees, and there are no restrictions on the number of products which may be developed using the SocketWrench Standard Edition.
