Pivo Whois Component 1.01
Whois Tool is a client utility that communicates with WHOIS servers located around the world to obtain domain registration information. Whois is a protocol for submitting a query to a database for determining the owner of a domain name, an IP network, or an autonomous system number. A powerful but easy to use whois component which is fully multithreaded and 100% RFC 954 compliant. It can perform recursive whois queries and find whois servers for any top level domain on its own and query them. This tool is perfectly suited to hosting companies who wish to add a reliable Whois search, allowing customers to lookup and register available domain names.
Pivo Email Validator Component 1.01
Having problems with the email addresses in your mailing list?Are you tired of getting bounce backs every time you perform a mailing? Email Validator will solve your email validation problems. Email Validator is an assembly that requires the Microsoft .NET framework to run. It is used to validate email addresses at different levels. Email Validator does not have a GUI front end, it is a server component that can only be accessed programmatically. Email Validator can be used on signup forms or it can validate huge lists of email addresses from one address to million. Email Validator validates email addresses at four different levels. Syntax, Domain, SMTP, and Mailbox levels. To validate an email address, simply create the EmailValidator object, pass it the email address and the level of validation to check, and Email Validator will do the rest. For some code examples on how to use Email Validator, click here. Email Validator does not actually send an email, but it can check the remote mail server to see if the server will accept an email for that address. The only way to truly check to see if an email address is valid, is to send an email. Here`s a more detailed explanation of the 4 levels of validation provided by Email Validator.
Pivo pop3 Component 1.01
A high performance POP3 component enables ASP/ VB/ VC++/ C#/ VB.NET/ ASP.NET or other COM environment applications to retrieve email from mail server based on POP3 protocol. Pivo POP3 Object supports all operations. It also provides advanced features such as retrieve emails in background, capability of unlimited queued request. POP3 is a widely-deployed mail access protocol. Many programs access POP3 message stores, and thus need POP3 configuration information. Since there are multiple configuration elements which are required in order to access a mailbox, a single string representation is convenient. A POP3 mailbox (like an [IMAP4] mailbox) is a network resource, and URLs are a widely-supported generalized representation of network resources.A means of specifying a POP3 mailbox as a URL will likely be useful in many programs and protocols.
Pivo DnsResolver Component 1.01
Dns Resolver is used to queries DNS servers for host information and programmatically query DNS servers for information, without having to worry about complex packet parsing. It easily returns information in a humanly readable form. It allows you to programmatically perform DNS record lookups.It can be used from ASP.NET web pages, to windows forms, to web services. The Domain Name System or DNS is a system that stores information about host names and domain names in a kind of distributed database on networks, such as the Internet. Most importantly, it provides an IP address for each host name, and lists the mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain. The DNS provides a vital service on the Internet, because while computers and network hardware work with IP addresses to perform tasks such as addressing and routing, humans generally find it easier to work with host names and domain names, for example in URLs and e-mail addresses. The DNS therefore mediates between the needs and preferences of wetware and of software.
Pivo FTP Component 1.01
The Pivo FTP component is a fully featured, easy to use implementation of the FTP protocol for .NET, ASP.NET and COM based applications. Fully compliant with RFC 959 and related RFCs, the component has been thoroughly tested with all popular FTP servers. The component is written in 100% managed C# code. Pivo FTP is a Server component completely written using .NET technology. It can be used with any window, web based .NET applications and COM clients to programmatically add FTP functionality. Pivo FTP is a low overhead, highly optimized assembly that only needs the Microsoft .NET (or equivalent) framework to run. Any system that can support the Microsoft.NET framework will be able to use Pivo FTP. Pivo FTP can be used from any environment supported by .NET. These environments include winforms, ASP.NET, console applications, components, or web services. Pivo FTP supports a list of Asynchronous functions. See Documentation for more details.
Pivo InI Component 1.01
INI component reads and writes Windows style INI files. It provides a comprehensive set of functions making INI files a powerful way to store application settings. There are three common ways to store program information on the hard disk: in the Windows registry, in INI files or in XML files. Using XML files is the preferred way to store initialization data in .NET (the registry is getting cluttered which makes it slow and INI files are much less flexible than XML files). However, if you`re porting applications from older platforms to .NET, or if your data initialization file structure must be compatible with some other program, sometimes you`re forced to use INI files. The Pivo INI component is a fully featured, easy to use implementation and it is written in 100% managed C# code.
Pivo Ping Component 1.01
Pivo.Ping allows you to effortless enable your applications to send Internet Control Message Protocol (Ping/ICMP) packets in .NET. Programmatically ping a remote server, host, route, or any network device to see if it is up. Pivo.Ping fully supports RFC 792 standard. Pivo.Ping is a server component. It requires the Microsoft .NET runtime in order to function properly. Pivo.Ping is used to programmatically ping hosts on a network. A `Ping` is a technique for sending an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packet(s) to a remote host. If the remote host is up, and supports ICMP, a control message, or packet, will be sent back to the sender. This technique provides a mechanism for feedback about communication problems in a networked environment. Pivo.Ping abstracts this mechanism in an easy to use manner for the programmer. For more information about ICMP, check out the RFC 792 at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc792.html. Pivo.Ping can only be used programmatically from a .NET environment, including, but not limited to, ASP.NET, winforms, console applications, and web services. Here are two brief examples for using Pivo.Ping from C# and Visual Basic. The following example pings www.pivo.com. [C#] Private void Page_Load (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if ( Page.IsPostBack ) { Pivo.Ping.Icmp icmp = new Pivo.Ping.Icmp("www.pivo.com"); for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { Console.WriteLine(icmp.Ping().TotalMilliseconds); } } }. Pivo.Ping is a low overhead, highly optimized assembly that needs the Microsoft .NET (or equivalent) framework to run. Any system that can support the Microsoft.NET framework will be able to use Pivo.Ping. Pivo.Ping can be used from any environment supported by .NET, which can include winforms, ASP.NET, console applications, components, or web services.
Pivo SMTP Component 1.01
Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another; the messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure your e-mail application. Pivo Smtp Component is one which can be used in web/window application like C#,ASP.NET, VB, smpt component allows your applications or web pages to create and send email messages over SMTP protocol just in a few lines of code. Sends messages as plain text or in the HTML format. Smtp Component can send email to any email address with or without smtp server as parameter. Email can contain any number of attachments, unlimited recipients, cc`s and bcc`s. Send Email directly from you web page via applications/browsers.
