SMS FOR DEVELOPERS FAQWhat languages can I use with it? Can I integrate it with my website? How do I write my own inbound number handlers? I keep losing the connection....
What languages can I use with it?SMS for Developers can be used with any language which understands how to communicate with Microsoft Active-X DLLs. This includes the following:
Can I integrate it with my web site?yes, as long as your web site runs using Microsoft IIS 5+ as ASP (Active Server Pages) will be available to you. If you are using a Unix derived platform with a web server such as Apache, you are recommended to consider using the M:Science SMS Web Service which will happily communicate with non-Microsoft products. Back to top >>Is there sample code?Tutorials and example code can be found in the ‘Developer Tools’ section of the SMS Server online help. This can be accesses by selecting Help->Index from SMS Manager (note that you may need to ‘Show’ the contents browser on the left hand side of the window). Back to top >>Will it work over a network?SMS for Developers is designed to operate via a standard Microsoft Domain based network. The API allows the programmer to specify the name of the machine hosting the SMS Server to connect to. It should be noted that the DCOM configuration on the server machine needs to be set to allow the calling server permission to connect. Back to top >>Can I receive messages?In order to receive messages, you must implement what is known as an inbound plug-in. Different inbound plug-ins can be allocated to handle each inbound number or delivery receipts. A template for an inbound plug-in can be found in the program directory where SMS Server is installed. Back to top >>How do I write my own inbound number handlers?The simplest way is to modify the template code which is supplied in the installation directory of SMS Server. To compile these Microsoft VB6 or VB.NET will be required. Back to top >>I keep losing the connection...The API contains a KeepAlive function. This can be called periodically from a timer to ensure that the link is not dropped due to inactivity. Back to top >> |
