ActiveSocket is a Network Communication component for Windows Developers. It runs on any 32 bit and 64 bit Windows Platform, incl. Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista and Windows XP.It features many IP protocols, incl.: SSH (Secure Shell), RSH (Remote Shell), HTTP(s), FTP, ICMP Ping, NTP, SNMP v1/v2c (Get,GetNext,Set), SNMP MIB translation, SNMP Trap Sender, SNMP Trap Receiver, Telnet, DNS, TCP, UDP, IP-to-Country, Wake-On-LAN and more. Samples are included many popular development platforms, incl. Visual C# .NET, Visual Basic .NET, ASP .NET, Visual Basic, Visual C/C++, ASP, Java, Javascript, PHP, Borland Delphi, Borland C++ Builder, ColdFusion.
ActiveSocket SNMP traps can be well integrated into ASP .NET (C#) environments. This document describes how ActiveSocket SNMP traps can be integrated into ASP .NET (C#) projects.
ActiveSocket is compliant with SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c. Several SNMP data types are supported, including:
- String types (also called "octet strings");
- Integer types (16bit, 32bit, 64bit and unsigned integers);
- IP Address types;
- Timetick types;
- Counter types (32bit and 64bit counters);
- OID types (also called "Object ID's");
- Other, less frequently used datatypes.
ActiveSocket SNMP traps features:
- SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c support ;
- Support for aplphanumeric OID's (object identifier) and numeric OID's;
- Multi-threading architecture: send SNMP traps simultaneously from one process using multiple threads;
- Support for ports other than the default 161 and 162 ports;
- Support for enterprise specific traps;
- Support for SNMP v1 generic traps;
- Send multiple variables in a single SNMP TRAP message.
Prerequisites
You must install and configure Internet Information Services (IIS) before using the ActiveSocket Toolkit with ASP .NET If you don't have IIS installed, use the following steps:
- From the Control Panel, click 'Add/Remove Programs'. Select the 'Add/Remove Windows Components' icon from the left pane, then select 'Application Server' and click on 'Details'. You can now select both 'ASP .NET' and 'Internet Information Services (IIS)'. Click 'OK' to continue installation;
- Make sure that ASP .NET is allowed on the web server:

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the SNMP Service is installed and running on the machine where ActiveSocket is installed. For more details, please read FAQ items Q1200010 and Q1200015.
Step 1: Download and install ActiveSocket
Download the ActiveSocket Toolkit from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.
Step 2: Create a new ASP .NET C# Project
Launch Microsoft Visual Studio (for instance 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005') from the Start menu. Choose 'New' from the 'File' menu and click on 'Web Site'. In the 'Web Site' dialog, select ASP .NET Web Site. Select a name for the application (for instance: 'DemoApp') and a name for the solution (for instance: 'DemoSolution'). Also, select the directory where you want to store the project (for instance: 'C:\MyProjects):

Step 3: Refer to the ActiveSocket Library and create the objects
Now that a new project has been created, you must add a reference to the ActiveSocket toolkit in the project to be able to use the ActiveSocket object. To do so, choose 'Add Reference...' from the 'Project' menu. In the 'Add Reference' dialog that pops up, select the 'COM' tab and select the 'ActiveSocket 2.4 Type Library' as shown in the following picture:

Click 'OK' to close the 'Add Reference' dialog.
On top of your code, type the following line to use the ActiveSocket namespace:
using ASOCKETLib;
In your Main function, declare and create the following object:
public SnmpTrapManager m_objSnmpTrapManager; m_objSnmpTrapManager = new SnmpTrapManager();
