The LLP client and server components described in these sections are included for legacy backward compatibility only. They are not supported for new application development. If you are developing a new application, use Iguana as the transport mechanism for sending messages over LLP, and use the Iguana plugin API to define an interface between your application and the Iguana server. For more details on using plugins in Iguana, see Working With Plugins. For reasons why you should use Iguana instead of Chameleon for your LLP solution, see Why Choose Iguana Over Chameleon?.

The LLP networking components supplied with Chameleon work across these languages:

• Visual Basic 6.0;
• C++;
• Java;
• Borland Delphi; and
• .NET C# and VB.NET.

For each language, the interface and naming conventions of the components follow the conventions that are correct for the environment. This means that the actual names of components, their properties, methods and events will vary depending on what language you are using.

For this documentation, the components are referred to using generic names:

• LlpClient - a component for implementing an LLP client
• LlpServer and its helper class LlpConnection - which can be used to implement an LLP server.

The documentation for each component provides links to the actual classes for each language.
