Accepting Winsock by Sockets.Socket

[Jhd.Honza]

Hi, I have VB5 application with winsock, which tries to connect to my C# server.

If I use AcceptTcpClient(), AcceptSocket() or Accept(), VB still says it's winsock is in CONNECTING state. What should I do with the Socket to accept the winsock connection?

I can use send and receive functions, but no DataArrival event occurs.

Accept should work, although I've only used the asynchronous BeginAccept. Are you calling Socket.Listen before Socket.Accept?

hmm I've found out it works, but the applications need to be in run mode, if I try to debug the code step by step, it does not connect.

I just asked for any special tasks to make connecting winsock connected, but it seems there aren't any.

Is there any way how to debug the code? Or why it doesn't work?

If you're using the .Accept method, and run your code through the point to execute that line of code, .Accept will block until a connection is accepted. Not sure if that helps or not, but also not sure what your code looks like.

Well .NET blocks after reaching .Accept, which si ok since I run it in a new thread.

On the client side, there is a VB code similar to this one:


Winsock1.Connect
Do
Doevents
Loop Until Winsock1.State = sckConnected


If I debug this code, Connect event is never faired having the winsock at sckConnecting, although .Accept method on the .NET succesfully finishes.
However, if I run this code and set up a breakpoint on the Connect event, it works.

Wish I could help, but I have no idea, don't even mess around with "Classic" VB anymore. Maybe posting in that forum might get you an answer.
