Renaming everything and cleaning up thing is of course very interesting for
new users. But for existing users, it would require a lot of work converting
their old code to the new versions. And that may be fatal to ICS: current

So TIscSocket should be ok because TOverByteIcsSocket is too long :-)

Hello Francois,
Using sysinternals tools, it show each connected socket use in 3
handles :
1 Event
1 File \Device\Tcp
1 File \Device\Afd\Endpoint
I don't know what \Afd\EndPoint is nor the unnamed Event.
Regards.

In my opinion, those handles are created by winsock itself for his

Rename classes as wanted ie. TWSocket to TIcsSocket (or using any other
prefix), then create proxy unit like below.
a) It would have some sort of redirection from old types to new types:
unit IcsProxyV5;
type

D6 has 64-bit streams and some new functions.
D7 adds nothing new, but there are compiler changes relating to other
platforms.

This is partially a myth, because property changes in new ICS versions
often mean changes in applications, even if the class names are the same.

What a good idea ! I wonder how I didn't had it myself :-)

Hello,
Excellent idea so you can use either TWSocket or TIcsSocket as you
want !

The most recent example is SSL, the versions in the last few months
required numerous application changes over the original implementation,

Hello Angus,
It has happened but almost never in compare with other vendors. Another
example is the BannerToBusy property changed to BannerTooBusy, but it is
very minor work alwasy, wich I cannot say from many other component
vendors.
I think it is strong in ICS the backward compatibility. A shor
Hello Miha,
Very good idea. It is even possible to have more / other methods /
properties / events in the new generation while the old generation stay
backward compatible !

Hello Francois,
V5 is very stable. It stay existing, and support may not be dropped the
first time, but new users and new projects should start to use V6. So
this way it is not direct problem.
However I'm not 100% sure myself of what I say :)
