winsock question

Hi
Does anyone have any samples of a complete programming using either CSocket or the Winsock API. That part I'm having trouble is how to figure out when an event is fired, on OnReceive(), OnConnect() etc etc.

Thanks

Here is a tut that I liked, although the author's programming style wasn't very good they did a good job explaining.

In Winsock programming you have several I/O models to choose from including WSAAsyncSelect, overlapped I/O, and port-completion I/O.

You should buy a good reference book on Winsock. One reason the fact that the implemention of robust I/O model such as overlapped I/O and port-completion I/O can be long and complicated.

I recommend Network Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition by Anthony Jones and Jim Ohmund.

I have one. I programmed a general TCP/IP client. It's kinda crude but it would do for experimental purposes. And I used mostly synchronous functions on it. I'll post it mext time get back here.

alright, sounds good, thanks guys

Oh f%&k! I forgot my goddam floppy disk.

Okay! Here it is.

alright cool, thanks

so whenever there is incoming data, int recv_data(char *data); will be called?

Yes that's right.

When I programmed it, I'm assuming that the prog only receives data whenever it communicates with a server. It would be proper to call recv_data() after send_data() has been invoked. It's some sort of synchronous data transfer.
