I think its not good idea to send a file with UDP.

I have to use only UDP. Please send me any sample codes or link or suggestions

You *can't* use UDP. UDP does not guarantee every packet will be delivered, which means the file received on the other end will most likely be corrupted.

Yes you can. You would need to implement some sort of "packet received" reply. If the sender didn't get it in time it would resend the packet. Such protocols exist.

That's a lot more work than it's worth. In fact, if such code exists, it would be a lot better to buy a library than to reinvent that particular wheel. Essentially, you're trying to turn UDP into TCP/IP. There's a reason both protocols exist.

Agreed.

You can do it, but by the time you implement all the checking for dropped datagrams and out-of-
sequence datagrams, you'll have rolled your own TCP 
Some tips: UDP datagrams can arrive out of order or not arrive at all. That means every
datagram will need a header containing some kind of info indicating it's position or index or
whatever so you can reassemble the data on the receiving end. You need to be able to resend
datagrams that don't arrive at all and allow for packets arriving out of order. This is the
stuff TCP does for you.
Good luck!

'nuf said already. I would suggest too, "Don't use UDP"!
Anything I will say you will bring it down to whatever you want.

I would be interested to hear why?
As many (Mark, etc) told there is some overhead in re-inventing TCP datastream capability with UDP, not mentioning that you can't use HTTP proxies to get out of a firewalled networks. Since you haven't stated your requirements I wonder why you want to do this.

Hi,
I'm a beginner in programming in C++ so there's a lot of searching and trying to do.
I've been trying to retrieve the directory that contains the project file out of VC++. I searched around and it should be possible with the namespace VCProjectEngine. There are also some examples on the net but i haven't found one yet in C++.
So for the moment I haven't been able to make a working program were i can obtain my project directory (i want to place there a cfg file with some parameters).
I've tried it with VCProject.ProjectDirectory but can't get it to work.
Can anyone help me with an example on how it works/?
Thanks in advance!

What's your exact problem and purpose? Why to bother with VCProjectEngine at all?

I have a small application that's converting an xml file in another format. In a .config file i wanted to specify file location, where to get the xml files and where to place the output files so it's not hard coded in my application.
This .config file is placed in my application directory.
How can i find it? I have seen some sugestions and tried several things but don't succeed in it. What's your proposal?

Hi,
Have you tried CDocument::GetPathName () ??

I need the header file afxwin.h for this and that's not a standard file in express edition.
I thought that namespace VCProjectEngine would be much easier!

Actually, you are trying to find the location of your executable. (The project file is only present on your development system.)
Look at GetModuleFileName - it will tell you the full path name of your executable file - no matter where it is run from.
Hope that helps.

but then i need a header winbase.h/windows.h and that's not included with my Express Edition.
So i was searching for a workaround?
|

I would find that hard to believe... if you don't have windows.h and winbase.h, you can't develop windows applications - even the express edition allows that. I know the express doesn't have MFC support, but then GetModuleFileName is a Windows API call.

I did a search on my system and the files could not be found, strange? What do i need to have those files: Platform SDK?
I haven't created an executable yet for this small application but I can debug it! I'm going to try this today and see what happens with the application that i have so far.
Thanks for your time, I'm feeling like an idiot!
Regards

Yes, you need the Platform SDK. Once you install that, you should be in good shape.
Good luck.

Hi,
it depends of what the destiny computer has, if they have the AdobePDF phantom printer (automatically installed with adobe writer), you don't need anything but the usual printing and selection of that printer. If you want to ensure in any case the pdf... then you should comunicate with the ActiveX or another module able to do it, and send the contents of your document. Most probably is that you will need Threads.

Hi gentlemen,
I am newbie to MFC programming and I have a problem creating a dialog on a separate thread from the main application.
My situation is: by clicking an icon on a toolbar, a dialog will be prompted and asking for input. As entered the numbers and clicked "OK", these parameters will be passed to the main application to run in a loop and the result will be displayed.
Without threading, the displayed result is obstructed by the dialog and applying the InValidateRect function is not satisfactory since the toolbar now becomes invisible.
Now I have create a "CSub" class based on CDialog and a "CDialogThread" class based on CWndThread. My question is, how to instruct the dialog to run on the thread, then how to pass the threaded dialog parameter back to the main application?
Thank you very much!
