What does this mean

[Sophtware]

I was experimenting with two different forms ,each one had a winsock and i had one winsock send charcter "255" to the other winsock form..and in the recieveing form the character "A" appeard..it was a character map "A" and it looked a little different..

so what am asking is...the original post i got the code from

Dim Sbyte As Integer
Dim Sto2 As Variant
Sbyte = "255"
Sto2 = "255"
Winsock1.SendData Chr(Sbyte) & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(35 + Len(Sto2))


was used to send this information to a server... but why? what would be the purpose?

It translated Chr(Sbyte) into the funny character

to get it to send 255 then make it


Dim Sbyte As Integer
Dim Sto2 As Variant
Sbyte = "255"
Sto2 = "255"
Winsock1.SendData Sbyte & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(0) & Chr(35 + Len(Sto2))


try that!
