Most current NetTalk for Clarion 5.5?
« on: October 03, 2009, 11:00:13 AM »
What is the latest version of NetTalk available for Clarion 5.5? 

Unfortunately, I may have to go in and rip out the wininet stuff in a 5.5 app and replace it with nettalk client. 

Thanks

Skip

Hi Skip, Docs have always said they support CFW 5 and 5.5. When I open a sample app, it converts the file from the older version, so I think you're good to go. It is a joy to work with NTWS. It may be the most fun and most productive work I've ever done with Clarion.

Hi Skip,

The current builds are good for C5.5.
I code all the web server examples in 5.5 - and most of the other examples are coded in C5.

There are some disadvantages to using 5.5 (can't make a reliable Service from the app, don't get the benefit of pre-emtive threading and so on) but fundamentally the code works just fine in C5.5.

Cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce.

The 5.5 app is all hand coded so no templates are necessary.

I think the version of the c55netx.lib and .dll that i use is 2.4. I would like to use the latest lib and dll if possible.

Even though this is a pretty simple client application, it does contact our websever and retrieve a bunch of data via http (up to 70+mb ) at times, so I need it to be solid as it is a mission critical application for many of our customers. 

Wininet has become somewhat flakey in the past several years.

Thanks
