The Diva Component API is a part of the Diva SDK. The Diva SDK enables the development of applications that use Dialogic's Diva hardware adapters and Diva SoftIP virtual adapters to implement a wide variety of functionality. Note that Diva Client products are not supported.

The Diva SDK consists of these three main APIs:

• Diva API - for C and C++ applications
• Diva Component API
• Diva API for .Net

The Diva API is designed to make the Diva family easy to use with Visual C and C++ (see the Using the Diva API with Visual C++ training course).

The Diva Component API consists of COM components that make using the Diva family even easier for programming environments that have built-in support for COM such as Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic 2005 and Visual C#. The current version of the Component API (4.0) has only minor differences in functionality compared to the Diva API for C++. These differences mainly affect programmers writing passive monitoring and recording applications.

The Diva API for .Net provides a convenient framework for using all the functionality of the Diva API for C++ in C# applications. This option is particularly useful for developers who are writing monitoring applications in C# or for developers already familiar with using the Diva API with C++ who are now migrating to C# in order to make use of the .Net Framework.
