CEnumerateSerial v1.30

Just to let everyone know that v1.30 of CEnumerateSerial has been released. Updates for this version include:

• The sample app previously excluded support for CEnumerateSerial::UsingComDB for versions of Visual C 2010 or earlier. Now this check has been changed to be based on the version of the Windows SDK which the code is being compiled against. This check is now performed by checking the value of the VER_PRODUCTBUILD preprocessor value from the ntverp.h SDK header file. The sample app now excludes support for CEnumerateSerial::UsingComDB on the Windows SDK 7.1 or earlier. This is because the msports.h header file is only available with the Windows SDK 8 or later. Thanks to "scott" for reporting this issue.

• Updated copyright details.
• Updated the sample project settings to more modern default values.
• Updated the code to compile cleanly on VC 2010 – 2015.

• Updated copyright details.
• Updated the sample project settings to more modern default values.
• Updated the code to compile cleanly on VC 2010 – 2015.
• Replaced all calls to TRACE with ATLTRACE
• Code no longer uses LoadLibrary without an absolute path when loading Iphlpapi / ICMP dlls. This avoids DLL planting security issues.
• Removed code from CPing::DecodeResponse which checks i_type & i_id header values.
• Made class MFC independent. Now the code only depends on ATL.
• Removed code from CPing::PingUsingICMP which parses the response.
• Added support for IPv6 in addition to IPv4. This means that the minimum supported version of VC which supports CPing is now VC 2008. The sample now ships with a VC 2008 solution.
• Code now supports IcmpSendEcho2Ex which supports IPv4 source address binding
• Removed the PingUsingWinsock method from the class as all the ping functionality can now be achieved via the Icmp* Windows API calls. This means that the CPING_NO_ICMP and CPING_NO_WINSOCK2 preprocessor values are defunct and have been removed.
• Added SAL annotations to all the code.
• Added support for the IP_FLAG_REVERSE IP_OPTION_INFORMATION flag.
• Addition of GetICMP_ECHO_REPLY and GetICMPV6_ECHO_REPLY methods to the CPingReply class which allow access to the raw ICMP echo reply structure.
