Visual Studio include files for TCP

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

What include files are required when writing TCP code in C++ and Visual Studio. Pressing F1 and looking at class TCPClient, for example, does not show what help files must be used. When I search for:

+"#include" +"c++" +"visual studio"

my pluses and quotes seem to be flatly ignored and the returns don't have what I need. (What phrase would you use for this search?)

I am not sure yet what I need to use but it is some combination of winsockets, TCPClient, and TCPListener and maybe some other goodies.

So, What include files do you use when writing code that uses TCP/IP?

Try Using managed TCP/IP Libraries[^] from here on CP.

The search I used was c++.net tcp/ip.

After downloading the code and building Visual studio provides a warning and an error. The error is:

VB

Error   2   Command line error D8016 : '/Gm' and '/clr:oldsyntax' command-line options are incompatible

I don't have a clue why it says "lang="vb" becuase it looks like C.  I searched within Tools-Options and was uable to find anything that looks like /clr:oldsyntax

Do you know where to look in Visual Studio 2008 to resolve this problem?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I think I might be making some progress here. Please clarify something. In the Visual Studio help files there are entries for TCPListener and TCPClient. I don't find anything like TCPServer. Does the TCPListener play the role of server?

Since you are trying to use managed classes via C++/CLI, you don't need to #include any files. Instead you add a reference to the appropriate assemblies and then put using namespace declarations on top for convenience.

In this case the assembly you need is System.dll (you probably have a reference already). The namespace is System.Net.Sockets.
