Thread: 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...
