Socket Lib

[Monty2]

Anyone have any recommendations for any windows Socket Library free or paid? i need to design a client server application and i have little experience with sockets Any suggestions will be much appreciated

[Patrick Etc]

Socket programming in .NET is unbelievably easy. I suggest .NET. :) There are even several well-developed client/server samples here on Code Project. I wouldn't call them commercial level code, but they're damn good starts.

Wrapped in .net, or add another layer WCF.

Use. .net socket relativly easy and plenty c/s examples.

.NET has simplified TCP Programming about 10 fold, especially if you use the TCPClient

Take a look at ACE[^]. Mind you, it is much more than a "socket library", and the learning curve is considerable, but it is stable, very portable and wouldn't hurt your resume as well :) If you decide to go this route, be sure to buy a book - the free online documentation is not really very helpful.

Yeah, I've worked with them too. They've brought many set-socket-option as setter functions that was cool. But given a chance to implement n/ws I've always chosen "winsock2.h" :-O with my own implementation classes. And hence avoiding .net :)
