PowerTCP Sockets for .NET is a complete suite of objects that integrates security, TCP, TCP Server, UDP, Ping and DNS functionality into any .NET application. We highly recommend the user read this documentation and examine the sample applications included in the distribution in order to become familiar with the Sockets for .NET classes. For the most basic quick-start, create a new Windows Application project in Visual Studio, and see the Code Examples page for accessible examples to try.
All samples include C#, VB.NET and VC++/CLI versions.
| Sample | Description |
|---|---|
| DNS Client | Resolves domain names, IP addresses and email address hosts. |
| Ping Client | Checks if remote hosts are reachable. |
| Proxy Server | Implements a test proxy that supports SSL tunneling, as well as Socks and HttpConnect proxies. |
| Server | Server implements a variety of protocols with two modes of operation ("sync" using dedicated worker threads and "async" using on-demand IO completion threads). |

Dart installation executables are authenticode signed with a "Dart Communications" digital certificate to ensure against tampering during distribution.
Dart dlls included in the installation bin directory are .NET strong name signed, but not authenticode signed. These dlls are used by the sample applications and typically referenced in users' products.
For those users who require dlls signed by the author company (for example, for Windows logo compliance), dlls that have been signed with the "Dart Communications" digital certificate are also included in the product. These dlls are contained in the "Signed Distributables" sub-folder under the installation bin folder.
In accordance with the End-User Licensing Agreement, pre-compiled Dart dlls may NOT be signed with a user's own certificate. However, for users who wish to independently sign these dlls, Dart offers Enterprise licenses which allow for this. Please contact sales@dart.com for more information.
Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, .NET Standard 2.0
