Hello everyone,
RemObjects Software is pleased to announce that the public beta of the
Internet Pack for .NET is now available for download.
Internet Pack for .Net (IP) is the new lightweight and flexible network
development framework developed 100% using native C# code. IP supports the
Microsoft .NET Frameworks 1.1 and 2.0 (May Preview), the Compact Framework,
and Mono (Beta 2). Supported development IDEs include Visual Studio 2003,
2005 (May Preview), and Borland Delphi 8.
Internet Pack for .NET is free and includes full source code.
STATUS
IP is currently in "stable beta" status. This means that we consider the
current build to be stable enough to be used in production projects and
day-to-day development, but we're planning to incorporate more features and
possible fixes in the near future before releasing the "final" version.
FEATURES
IP is a work in progress, and our goal for version 1.0 was to provide a
high-quality framework rather than a large amount of different protocol
implementations.
Some of the features available in the first release of IP include:
- Lightweight and comfortable to use base framework
- Flexible and highly scalable architecture
- Extendable Connection class allows you to easily integrate
custom encryption or compression solutions
- Extendable HTTP Client and Server framework - build HTTP applications
with just a few lines of code, or easily expand the components to provide
complex custom solutions
- Extendable FTP Server framework and VirtualFTP sample implementation
- CommandBasedServer and Client based components allow you to easily
implement your own command based protocols (such as SMTP, FTP
Command Connection, etc.)
- SimpleHttpServer component provides an easy to implement file-based
HTTP Server
- SMPT and POP3 Client implementation, Mail Message encapsulation classes
- Integration with upcoming DebugServer 3 for easy debugging and tracing
DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY
Over time, Internet Pack will become a community project, and we hope that
many of its users will contribute with their own extensions and components
to the project. Check the urls and newsgroup listed below for more
