Socket Programming
Hi,
I am very new to VC and I land myself in a catch 22 situation...
here's what I have to do...
1) Connect to a server using a SPECIFIED port and an IP
2) If the server sends -1 then it's an error
else
its a success..
Thats all!!
How and what do I use for this...
I'd appreciate if you can help me out with either the code
or specify any link to take the sample from..
Please HELP!!!!
Regards,
John
I recommend Network Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition by Anthony Jones and Jim Ohmund.

not to be simplistic here but....
Code:if( // your code// != -1) { // Insert your success code here. } else { // Insert your failure code here. }

I think he's asking for functions.
socket() creates a socket, connect() allows you to connect that socket to a server. either one of those failing is a bad thing obviously and would give you an oportunity to return -1.
if that's what you're asking.

Look up WSASend(), WSARecv(), etc. at MSDN. I recommend a book on networking program for Windows. You will need to analyze differnt I/O models.

>>How and what do I use for this...
Try a tutorial...!
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
