Help regarding Tcp/ip client server programming in C

[bhupesh.kec]

Hello Dear members,

I am new to network programming in C. I am using Turbo C / visual studio IDE for C compilation. I have to do a program to connect to a mail server and retrieve data from the server.

I tried in visual studio but got some error while linking somthing like _socket@12 not defined unresolved external.

Please let me know how to do it in turbo c and how to make linking error free in visual studio sample code.... i am using window environment (windows 7)..

Thanks in advance..
Eagar to see some valuable knowledge

If you are using Turbo C because you have to, then you should ask the person who's set that restriction this question (eg, your professor) because no one actually uses Turbo C anymore, and if the prof wants you to use a specific tool nobody else uses in a course you have paid for, then the prof should teach you how to use the tool.

Last version was released in 1992, meaning it is possibly older than you are.

If you are using Turbo C out of choice, make a another one .

with visual studio C/C++, you have to add ws2_32.lib to the linker input to get the socket support.
