Visual Studio 2010: Old chatter example doesn't work anymore...

Question

3.00/5 (2 votes)

See more:

I'm now using Visual Studio 2010. Once I have used in a program, the Microsoft example Chatter/Chatsrvr to exchange data between two programs. This examples works fine with the old version C++ 6.00.
I have managed to convert the Chatter/ChatSrvr to studio 2010 and the programs even run but....after a while the communication between the two programs stops without any error message!

I have tried to solve this but I can't. Please help me!

I know Visual 2010 uses win2sock and C++ 6.00 uses winsock.

Options/things I have tried so far:

1)
Studio 2010 must be capable of compiler with framwork 3.5. Somehow I'm not capable of doing that.

2)
I have tried keep-alive.

3)
I have checked the sending of messages. I seems that sending (by the client-chatter) is done, but somehow the messages don't result in a OnRecieve on the server side.
I don't know if the Client or the Server causes the trouble.

4)
I have been searching the internet for a similar example client-server with asynch socket and archives. Can't find it! (I want C++ and for studio 2010.) I don't know why Microsoft has removed this great example; What do they know that I don't? (Perhaps a lot more.....)

Solution 1

You're going to have to run both apps under the debugger to see what's happening. I don't see any way you can avoid doing that.

Solution 2

Re your point #1. I assume that you know how to select the 'Target Framework' in Properties so if you are not seeing a .NET version there it is probably because you don't have the framework on your system.

Mine offers all the way back to .NET 1.1, because I have all of those frameworks installed.

He's using C++/MFC (if his tags are to be believed), and the version of .Net on his machine is therefore irrelevant to his project.

Thanks John, I missed that.
