Ultimate Solution for PayPal IPN Integration Launched

‘IPN Easy for .NET’ from Rolosoft.com is the ultimate PayPal IPN integration software for .NET applications. The software provides a flexible and seamless integration solution that, unlike other IPN integration software currently on the market, is able to deliver key features such as native support for the latest Microsoft technologies Workflow (WF) and Communication Frameworks (WCF).

Until now PayPal integration has been complex, requiring days being spent on development and testing. ‘IPN Easy for .NET’ simplifies the whole process saving time and money, delivering a robust integration solution designed specifically for the Microsoft .NET framework and PayPal IPN. It is flexible enough that it can be modified to suit any ecommerce application.

Rowland O’Connor, CEO of Ipn-Easy.com (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rolosoft.com), said: “I am very excited about this new product. It fills a gaping hole in the PayPal IPN integration market that I know will save many people days of development time and, therefore, money.”

Rowland added: “I would see one of the main applications of this software will be in making life a whole lot simpler for back office processes that can use IPN to automate their business. A good example is a business that sells products as digital downloads. Simply hook up ‘IPN Easy for .NET’ to Microsoft Workflow Foundation and you are ready to automate software delivery, invoicing and other business processes. For businesses that currently do this manually, our software could be the missing link between PayPal and .NET that could save their businesses thousands of dollars!”

‘IPN Easy for .NET’ is available in two versions: Pro for $69.99 and Enterprise for $99.99 for a server license. Key features of both products include:

  • Security and fraud prevention. Verifies IPN with PayPal
  • Comprehensive documentation and implementation examples
  • Event driven model
  • PayPal IPN to .NET classes conversion
  • Support for:
    • Testing in PayPal’s Sandbox
    • Multiple currency
    • Shopping cart/multiple items
    • Auction payment
    • Dispute resolution

The Enterprise edition also includes:

  • Subscriptions
  • MassPay
  • Recurring payments
  • .NET 3.5 WCF and Workflow enabled

‘IPN Easy for .NET’ Pro and Enterprise are available on a no risk, free trial and to purchase from ipn-easy.com.

Windows 7 Preview

Windows 7 Preview - The Top 5 New Features
By Rowland C O'Connor

Windows 7 is the next release of Windows from Microsoft and is scheduled for release on October 22, 2009. It will replace Vista which has had problems with performance, device compatibility and annoying /invasive pop-ups, alerts and notifications.

We've been looking at the Release Candidate (RC) and so far, Windows 7 looks a vast improvement on Vista. Here is a quick tour of some of the features of Windows 7 that we like.

1) Better performance

Microsoft appear to have worked hard to sort out the performance problems that Vista had. It seems that Windows 7 does appear to be faster and more responsive than its predecessor (Vista).

2) Enhanced taskbar

  • Icons are larger & clearer and easier to work with. Rearrange icons, new "Jump Lists" and full Aero enabled previews of open windows make it a lot easier to work with lots of open windows.
  • The "Show desktop" button is now more prominent and easier to use. Quickly minimize all windows with the touch of a button.

3) Desktop improvements

  • No more sidebar. Add "Gadgets" quickly and easily directly to your desktop.
  • New themes. Good looking new themes contain several high quality backgrounds that periodically rotate (similar to the Mac).
  • "Snap" feature allows you to easily compare windows side by side.

4) Less annoyance & interruption from pop-ups and alerts

  • All alerts are now contained in one place in the notification area. You can customize the notifications (pop ups) that you receive.
  • Less alerts from User Account Control (UAC). Generally, you should notice a reduction in alerts from Windows 7 compared to Vista. UAC level can be set to one of four possible levels.

5) Parental control - New to Windows 7

  • Easily set what programs (e.g. games) your kids can use and when (i.e. schedule).

So far, we are impressed with Windows 7. Although we are only running the Release Candidate at this time, it does seem pretty fast and stable. The changes and improvements go a long way towards addressing the criticisms levelled at Vista. We believe that this could be the best operating system that Microsoft has released since XP.
