WinMessenger version 2.8 Beta 2 is available now!

What’s new in version 2.8

  1. The program has been divided in two parts service and client that work in separated processes and communicates using COM mechanism. Client and server can be run on different machines. One server can work with many clients and can listen up to 254 NetBIOS Names.
  2. DCOM communication protocol has been added. Since this version WinMessenger can work without NetBIOS. The NetBIOS became obsolete and already removed from Windows Vista. To courage you investment to our software we decided to add DCOM support that seems to be alive for longer time in Windows.
  3. Received messages can be read by computer immediately after receiving (text to speech feature is used) so it isn't necessary to get in touch with a PC to read a message.
  4. Works fine in Windows Vista and Windows Vista x64.
  5. All software components were built in the latest version of Microsoft (TM) Visual Studio 2008.
  6. This version of WinMessenger provides a COM server that is accessible from any other .NET applications, JavaScripts and VBScripts. Following examples help developers to add NetBIOS messages functionality to their applications and web pages. It also allows creating .NET, JavaScript, and any other COM supported applications that can send and receive messages from WinMessenger.
