Windows application development has evolved from DOS and Windows 3.1 to Win32, MFC, and now .NET. Each new API builds on the successes and failures of its predecessors. From a developer's perspective, Microsoft's popular Visual Studio development tools have remained a stable and well-documented path to create new applications. DeLise Consulting has specialized in creating Windows apps that communicate with embedded controllers via serial ports, TCP/IP over internet, ethernet, or cell modem connections. In most cases, the interface includes a custom binary protocol with error detection and correction. Sometimes the protocol is a standard such as Modbus/RTU or Modbus/TCP.
