Code Examples

Our new design frees you from having to write 'spaghetti code' that jumps from function to function using confusing 'Begin' and 'End' methods, just so you can perform your work and update the UI at the same time.

Asynchronous methods have been completely eliminated from our components. You can now do all of your work in one linear function, using our 'Start' method to execute it without blocking the interface.

Events fire on the UI thread, eliminating the need to write delegates and to call 'Invoke' from the worker thread.

To the right is a side-by-side comparison between code using PowerTCP FTP for .NET and code using a competitor's product. The task is to log into an FTP server, upload a directory, and log out, while updating status in a log window and progress bar. Take a look at the code and ask yourself, "Which code would I rather write and maintain?"
