Stuffing four byte octets into a dword.

[esepich]

I have four octets of an ip stored as follows. byte octet1,octet2,octet3,octet4 IPAddressCtrl.GetAddress(octet1,octet2,octet3,octet4); What I need to do is get those four bytes into a DWORD in the propor byte order so I can store that DWORD in an SOCKADDR_IN structure like this SOCKADDR_IN saDest; saDest.sin_addr.s_addr = /*Somehow stuff octet1,2,3,4 in*/ Does anyone know how this can be done? Thank you

Look at the MAKELONG macro.

...and if you are messing with network parameters don't forget that it uses network byte order (big endian). Use htonl() and ntohl() to convert between network and host byte order.
