    Setting up asynchronous winsocks

    Hello, I have a question about the order of the winsocket setup for an async winsocket server model because I have seen 2 methods for that:

    - one is to create the winsock, fill the sockaddr_in structure, bind the winsock and call the WSAAsyncSelect(),
    - and the other is to create the winsock, call the WSAAsyncSelect(), fill the sockaddr_in structure and finally bind the socket.

    Is there any difference in both methods? Or, is there a wrong setup order?

    Thank's in advance.

    I'll respond myself: there's no problem on doing it in one way or other till the socket hasn't started to 'listen()' because the asynchonous notification works after a client connection.

    If I'm wrong please advise me.
