sockcli sockserv demos

Perhaps this is related to the issue of how to properly compile with xHarbour for Windows, but the sockserv demo compiles/links with the following mysterious error (see below):

How are these demos supposed to be compiled? I am using the Jan 2007 build.

This doesn't work for me. I now realise that I am trying to buold projects from a VIsta station, and perhaps xHarbour and Vista don't like each other. Sorry fo the wasted time.

Carlo,

My screenshots are taken on Vista 32 Ultimate

That's what I am using too. I was using the latest July Beta, but it complained that PCode 7 was no longer supported. I assumed this had something to do with FWH compatability, so I rolled back to Jan 07. My understanding from reading the xharbour builder newsgroup is that the official releases aren't Vista compatible (but I could have misunderstood).

I tried again on my XP Pro machine, and everything worked as you explained. Thanks for your patience!

1) Is there a way for me to use the TSocket class and use console output instead of Windows? Although I eventually intend to get into Windows programming with FWH, I don't have the time (right now) to learn how to program an FWH Windows interface. I just need scrolling output to the console showing the events that the messages the server is acting on and the status of each action.

2) The client for the server will actually be a web service coded in VB.NET - the service will read and parse the SOAP message, format it and then pass it to my server through a socket write using System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient(). Do you have any experience with this particular .NET class? Do you think this will work?

Thanks again.

No, sorry, FWH Class TSocket requires to use a window

You may review xHarbour contrib\tip folder as it provides classes for sockets management with console support

We don't have experience with that particular .NET class. Anyhow, yes, I think it will work. You may ask about it in usenet comp.lang.xharbour accessible from Google groups, as surely there are xharbour users with experience about it
