You can simply cast the pointer to PBYTE or BYTE*

wchar_t buf[] = L"Hello World";
PBYTE pBytes = (PBYTE)buf;

when i convert it using ur method,

PBYTE pbytes = (PBYTE)q;

Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,

wchar* q = "AJC";

This line of code is not correct. You cannot assign a pointer to an array of character value. It appears to me that you need some basic C/C++ tutorials. I found these on the net:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ntcs/[^]
http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/21/[^]
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/pointers/[^]

I think if you read these tutorials you may understand why your code does not work.

wchar_t* q = L"AJC";
This creates a pointer to a wide character string.

To convert this to BYTE* which is a multi-byte character string you can use the WideCharToMultiByte[^] API.
But then a BYTE pointer will not suffice.

You will need a BYTE array declaration. Something like -
BYTE bytes[255];

Heavy Duty Client/Server Application

Well, I developed a very basic client/server application by extracting knowledge from the article.

http://69.10.233.10/KB/IP/serversocket.aspx[^]

The application works fine when client/server exchanges text data (Hello, Hi etc of few bytes). But when server sends the image data (say a bmp of 3 MB). The send function sends data properly but on receiving side, the received bits are just 256. where the rest bits gone?

How can we transfer image data (upto MB) through the client/server application? any idea

The article you referenced supports both TCP and UDP so which protocol did you choose?

TCP... but do you think it is protocol dependant?

The reason I asked is because UDP does not guarantee data packet delivery. The first thing that came into my mind when you described packet loss was the UDP protocol. It looks like the author of the project is very active in his article message board so you may want to address him there.

Hi,
Please let me know from below code ..that whether assignment operator or copy constructor is called in each case and why...

A is a class..

1)A a2;
A a1=a2;
2)a1=a2;
3)a1(a2);

Re: assignment operator

Cedric Moonen4-Aug-09 2:45

1) Copy constructor (for a1)
2) Assignement operator
3) Syntax is wrong, it should be A a1(a2); in which case it is the copy constructor.

Why ? Because it is like that Smile | :)

If you are using VC++ then CMap is better choice- refer MSDN
It is very easy to use and it is almost most similar to has table.
samples can be available in msdn or u can refer the below link

and change the size of the dialog using this API MoveWindow.

eg:-
RECT rect;
rect.bottom = 500;
rect.top = 0;
rect.left = 00;
rect.right = 900;
MoveWindow( &rect );
