Server/Client help?

[KyleMiles]

Can anyone help me with a Winsock server/client? I’ve done all research I could, but no luck. Really just about any thing would help, but it would have to be something, or anything, that Microsoft included in VC++ 2010 express. Thank you.

SFML has a networking library that helped me start out. The tutorials on that site are very useful for getting started.

I had made a project on server/client application using winsock2.h library as my college project.....

@Stewbond:

Thank you for that suggestion, but I have already tried using SFML and I can’t seem to get VC++ 2010 to realize what I’m doing. I would use it, but I can’t add it.

@Bibek Subedi:

Now thats what I like to hear!! Is there a tutorial you could point me torwards or some things you could show me/tell me?

Thank you both.

Ahh, the problems with SFML on VS2010. I got this to work on the same compiler. Just follow these instructions to the letter:

I used a book as reference to learn server/client application in C++...the book is "Let Us C" by Yasvant Kanetkar (Indian Author) ....

@Stewbond
Yes, yes, seems like it is going to work...

@Bibek Subedi
I will surely check this out.
