    async socket issues

    well im having some difficulties sending to the server i send but it never reaches the server?

    anyways im including everything i think is relevant :P
    Code:
    case WM_WSAASYNC:
    		{
    			switch(WSAGETSELECTEVENT(lParam))
    			{
    			case FD_READ:
    				{
    					buffer=ReadData(hwndServerBox);
    					if(buffer.length()>0)
    						Analyze(hwndServerBox,buffer);
    				}break;
    
    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    bool WriteData(HWND hwndServerBox,string buffer)//the issue is in here as my data is never actually sent?
    {	
    	int nret;
    	int BytesToSend=sizeof(buffer);
    
    	if (BytesToSend<=0)
    		return false;
    
    	nret=send(sock,buffer.c_str(),BytesToSend,0);
    
    	if(nret==SOCKET_ERROR)
    	{
    		PostText(hwndServerBox,"Error: Send()");
    		return false;
    	}
    	else
    		PostText(hwndServerBox,buffer);
    	return true;
    }
    i was told to disregard WM_WRITE as it is only useful when sending large amounts of data because you have to fill up the network buffer...

    >>int BytesToSend=sizeof(buffer);
    This isn't the way to determine the string length. Try buffer.length() and don't forget to account for the null terminating byte if you want to send that too.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    yeah i was using .length() before and switched it over after reading some async socket site... still does not resolve my problem though

    heh i could up my full source its around 300 lines though

    EDIT:
    i feel like a dunce again lol i wasnt sending a "\n" along with my string :P i feel so stupid lol
