Descrption:
Yucca Valley, CA, June 30, 2006 - Catalyst Development Corporation today announced the release of SocketTools .NET, a collection of managed code classes designed to simplify the addition of Internet functionality into applications built using the Visual Studio development platform.

SocketTools .NET 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.

Nineteen class libraries and components can be used to develop applications capable of uploading and downloading files, sending and retrieving email messages, remote command execution, terminal emulation, and much more. Features include:

- Managed code classes written in C#, compatible with any Visual Studio.NET language

- Low resource utilization and no external dependencies on third-party libraries

- Support for both synchronous and asynchronous network connections

- Includes both high level and lower level interfaces for maximum flexibility

- Thread-safe implementation with full support for multithreaded applications

- Support for proxy servers, including secure proxies, using FTP and HTTP

- Support for the standard SSL and TLS security protocols with 128-bit encryption

- Support for client certificates when required by the remote host

- For existing users - class interfaces are very similar to the SocketTools COM interfaces

- A professional technical support staff and extensive online support resources

- No runtime licensing fees or additional royalties

A fully functional 30-day evaluation copy is available for free download from the Catalyst web site. Once purchased, the insertion of a serial number allows for an uninterrupted development process.

Catalyst provides 60 days of free technical support. For-fee email support is also available. All Catalyst products come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. A single developer license for SocketTools .NET Edition is $395USD; SocketTools Secure .NET Edition is $695USD
