Dart has transformed its world-class Internet Toolkit into a Component Object Model (COM) based set of ActiveX controls that are supported in more development environments than ever before. Our ActiveX (ATL) controls and sample applications plug into all popular development environments: Visual Studio, C++Builder, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Internet Information Server (ASP), JavaScript, FoxPro, and other VB script and VBA environments. New features include:
- Multi-tier architecture that separates all processing into 3 layers. No competing product offers this level of flexibility and modularity:
- Formatting tier converts bytes into objects
- Upper-layer protocol tier (Telnet, FTP, SMTP, etc.) implements communication protocols
- Winsock tier handles all communication tasks
- Controls can be placed on forms OR dynamically instantiated, making this product perfect for both form-based environments like Visual Basic AND formless environments like ASP.
- Blocking behavior is included, so you can write applications using blocking or non-blocking operation. Scripting languages such as VB and JavaScript are now fully supported.
- 'Apartment Model Threading' provides multi-thread support for the most demanding applications.
- Superior Object Model maximizes your effectiveness in your development environment collection properties provide superior list handling, formatting objects make it easier to manipulate complex structures (like MIME messages), and the use of enumerated types and objects makes your job as simple as it should be.
PowerTCP is a complete collection of Internet protocol controls and formatting objects. The controls provide concise programming models for the protocols and contain events to help monitor lengthy operations, and the formatting objects transform data between network bytes and COM objects with which your application can easily work.
