New user and interested in supporting SDRplay as a Panadapter

Hi,
I've been looking at supporting SDRPlay as a Panadapter for the Elecraft radios. I have a product on the market called Win4K3Suite and I thought it would be interesting offering support of SDRPlay in my product.
So far I have played around with ExtIO_RTL2832 and have run against a snag which I cannot get around. There appears to be an incompatibility with the libraries I use for DSP and un-managed DLL's (Win4K3 is written in C# visual studio). I have not tried SDRPlays DLL yet.
In addition, the DLL I used does not give the ability to set the sampling rate, which for a panadapter on the Elecraft radios, would need to be around 200kHz. Now, is this a general situation? Or was I just using an old Ext DLL? Is the ExtIO model becoming obsolete as well? Or is it just SDR# that has dropped it?
So, the other option is to write a ExtIO to TCP adapter which would be pretty simple if necessary.
My other question is does SDRPlay offer a TCP interface? That would seem to be the best solution overall for me.
Thanks, Tom
