.NET TAPI

I was asked to write .NET code that integrates with the telephone system using the TAPI API. I read that there is no .NET interface for this API ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841712 ). Is there a good third-party .NET interface for TAPI? Or can someone point me in the right direction to get started?

There is no ready-made interface from .NET for TAPI, and COM-Interop does not work reliably, this is correct. But there is a C ++ / CLI TAPI 3.1 shell for .NET 2.0, freely available from Julmar (you just need to give credit). Take a look at ITAPI3. They also include some basic incoming / outgoing calls.

If you want to copy the TAPI 2.x code, you can use the wrapper provided by Helen Warn and Agile-Soft, which can be downloaded from the Andreas Marschall TAPI FAQ website. See This Newsgroup Report for a link. It is also free to use (check readme).

Even the C4F tapi is awesome to work with. this Tapi is a good dll for working with .NET. It also has a sample that you can try.

In fact, TeleTools has an excellent set of controls for any TAPI or SIP device and Visual Studio. The new version has a new set of controls, which is even easier to use for 90% of applications, so you do not need to study a large set of events, methods and properties. The wrapper around TAPI still works too much than a good set of controls that do most of the work for you. Most applications, such as caller ID and dialing, make up just a few lines of code. In addition, ExceleTel is the only telephone company with TeleScope, which is a unique tool for prototyping, registration, training. Logging can save you a lot of time and let you pinpoint what your device / phone line / application is doing.

ExceleTel has been working with TAPI for over a decade and is consulting with manufacturers who write TAPI drivers (TSP) to get their devices to work. You can find a lot of information on www.exceletel.com and you can get more information on tapi for the win32 newsgroup, where we all share information.
