Windows Sockets Classes
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Windows Sockets provide a network protocol-independent way to communicate between two computers. These sockets can be synchronous (your program waits until the communication is done) or asynchronous (your program continues running while the communication is going on).
- CAsyncSocket
- Encapsulates the Windows Sockets API in a thin wrapper.
- CSocket
- Higher level abstraction derived from CAsyncSocket. It operates synchronously.
- CSocketFile
- Provides a CFile interface to a Windows Socket.
