Hello, Is there any way to get port number bound to a given socket using the socket descriptor. I dont want to use getsockname(). Thanks in advance.

Why don't you want to use
getsockname().«_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

Thanks for your response. the problem is getsockname() sometimes fails due the following microsoft issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319952[^]

I think you should use it because the site also talk about the resolution for the failure.

I want to avoid the complexity associated with WSADuplicateSocket. I just want to pass the port number across processes, thats my only requirement. I need some mechanism through which i can get socket number in parent process and pass it to the child process as an argument. By parent process i mean process that invokes the second process, which i call the child process.

Don't duplicate the socket at all. Get the port number using the socket descriptor. And pass this port number to the child process as a command line argument.

Yes, without duplicating the socket.
