Supports HTTP Connect, SOCKS4, SOCKS4A & SOCKS5 Proxy Servers
ProxyClient and WhoIsClient classes fully support HTTP CONNECT, SOCKS4, SOCKS4A, and SOCKS5 proxy servers. By simply setting a few properties, you are able to get connect through the desired proxy server, providing your application with the greatest flexibility and highest level of security available.
Support for IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), the next-generation protocol designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), will gradually replace the current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4.
With Ultimate Netkit Component, users have an integrated service assurance solution that will provide them with Proxy, DNS, Trace Route, WhoIs, IP Lookup, and Time capabilities in mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environments. This helps organizations with the adoption of and the transition to IPv6 by making the management of such networks seamless.
Easily query DNS servers for resource record types, and Reverse lookup for host name
DNS classes make the work of querying DNS servers for resource record types defined by RFC-1034 and RFC-1035 more easily. You can quickly retrieve the list of available DNS servers in your network, send a constructed DNS request message to a DNS server and process the fully parsed response message. The classes offers the flexibility, ease of use and rapid development features of a component without the complexities of working with the native socket class or in-depth knowledge of how the Domain Name Services are implemented.
They provide the following unique features:
* Lookup for Resource Records - Host name to A Record (IP address), MX Record, etc.
* Reversve lookup for PTR Record - IP address to host name
* Supports Resource Records: A, A6, AAAA, AFSDB, ALL, CNAME, GPOS, HINFO, ISDN, KEY, MB, MD, MF, MG, MINFO, MR, MX, NS, NSAP, NSAPPTR, NULL, NXT, PTR, PX, RP, RT, SIG, SOA, SRV, TXT, WKS, X25.
* Supports RFC-1034/RFC-1035
* Retrieve the list of available DNS servers
* Send and receive DNS request and response messages
Performing Internet Route Tracing to determine network delays and topology
Ultimate Netkit Trace Route and ICMP classes are fully featured, easy to use, and flexible. They make it easy to incorporate complete internet route tracing and ping/ICMP functionality into your .NET applications.
They provide the following unique features:
* Instigates route tracing easily
* Sets maximum hops
* Includes complete hop information
* Resolves IP addresses while performing Internet Route Tracing
* Retrieves hops counts, router addresses and names, response time and Time To Live (TTL)
* Fully supports RFC-792
* Echo Reply Message is fully parsed
Performing domain registration lookups easily with a few lines of code
Ultimate Netkit is a comprehensive component set with many useful classes, one of them is WhoIsClient class which is an easy to use implementation of the Who Is protocol for .NET and ASP.NET applications. It allows developers to perform domain registration lookups easily with a few lines of code.
It provides the following unique features:
* Fully compliant with RFC-954
* Specify the question to ask
* Request domain registration, user, mailbox and related information
Easily find from which countries your visitors are coming from
Ultimate Netkit component includes a powerful class named IPLookup that is used to easily find from which countries your visitors are coming from. As a benefit, this can help you to prevent credit card fraud, automatically select language, and currency for your visitor and much more benefits.
Getting exact time from public time servers over the Internet
NtpTimeClient implements the client side of SNTP and NTP protocols that enable your .NET applications to get exact time from public time servers over the Internet. This makes it easy to keep all the computers running your application synchronized with an atomic clock to eliminate problems caused by mismatched system time, or to get the exact time value for your time-critical database entries. Determining the right time has never been easier.
It provides the following unique features:
* Supports the Network Time Protocol (RFC-1305)
* Supports the Time Protocol (RFC-868)
* Supports the Daytime Protocol (RFC-867)
* Supports conversion between NTP time and .NET time
* Supports both SNTP (version 3) and NTP(version 4)
* Provides access to all NTP packet fields
.NET Technology
By using 100% managed code written in C#, the Ultimate Netkit component takes advantage of the numerous built-in features of the .NET Framework to enhance performance, moreover, the component is CLS compliant, and it does not use any unsafe blocks for minimal permission requirements.
Supports many .NET Platforms
Ultimate Netkit Component for .NET supports the following platforms:
* Windows Forms
* Web Forms
* Web Services
In addition, it is also possible to use the component in PowerShell - Microsoft’s new command console and scripting language.
Ultimate Netkit is fully compatible with Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008, as well as upcomming release of Visual Studio 2010. As a benefit, you are always up-to-date with Microsoft's Technologies when using our products.
Supports event-driven (Asynchronous) and blocking (Synchronous) Design
Most applications written with the Netkit component will be synchronous. Synchronous method gives you the ease-of-use, but it can only returns the control back to the caller after it has finished, meaning that it blocks the execution of the caller for a period of time. Using synchronous method is recommended when you only need to execute one Netkit operation at a time.
You might decide that your design requires an asynchronous operation when it is needed to manage email messages simultaneously. Asynchronous methods provide a great deal of power. Asynchronous method is executed on a thread separate from the calling thread. Such operation is useful when an operation is time consuming and other codes need to execute without waiting for the initial operation to complete. In addition, the user interface will be most responsive when asynchronous methods are used.
Flexibility
The Netkit component has been designed with a great degree of flexibility and can be used with a wide variety of programming languages and different types of development environments. Available as a managed .NET class, it is fully supported by languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, J#, Managed C++, Borland C# Builder, and Delphi.
Fully Documented
As important as functionality, features and stability are, comprehensive documentation is equally as important to the application developer. This is why the ComponentSoft Netkit for .NET product includes a Developer's Guide and a complete Technical Reference which documents every property, method and event supported by the component. A printable version of the documentation is included with the product, as well as context-sensitive online help which can be accessed directly from within the development environment.
Lots of complete sample applications in VB.NET, C#, and ASP.NET
In addition to the fully documented Developer's Guide and a complete Technical Reference, Ultimate Netkit component also includes a number of samples with full source code which help you to become familiar with the features of the component and provide code which you can re-use in your own applications. The setup package contains two Trace Route & Ping sample applications, two DNS Client samples, one WhoIs client sample application, four NTP Internet Time sample applications, and one IP Lookup sample application. To help you to write web applications using our classes quickly, we also included many web sample projects.
Royalty-free
ComponentSoft understands today's software development requirements which often require support for multiple operating systems and different programming languages. As with all ComponentSoft components, the product is licensed to a single developer, and applications built using the Netkit component can be redistributed to as many end-users as needed without additional royalties or runtime licensing fees. Developers are also permitted to install the product on different development systems as long as they are the only one using it and there is no chance that it can be used by more than one developer at the same time.
