• Visual C++ Linking with extension dll

  hi, I am working with a old project using VS 6.0. The exe uses an extension dll. I dont know how the exe is linking with the extension dll. I checked for the following 1. If the client exe has AfxLoadLibrary - for explicit linking. 2. If the import library is included in the client project settings linker option. 3. any # pragma statements which do the forceful linking. None of the 3 methods is used. Is there any other method to link an extension dll. I assume that extension dll also requires either implicit or explicit linking like regular dlls. Please Correct me if i am wrong.   regards, sk80.   & ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP Sockets checking aliveness

  Hi, I have an app where it is critical that any connection interruption between the server and the client is immediately noticed. Right now I'm using a "ping packet" that I send to the server and the server sends it back. If it's not returned within time x and the server hasn't received a new one within time x the client assumes it's disconnected or the server disconnects the client. However, since I'm sometimes sending large objects over the socket which can take a couple seconds to transmit I can't send a ping packet every 3 seconds or so as it then would time out since the socket might be blocked while sending a larger object.
