Socket on Windows Server 2000

Eugeniusz,

Are you using the same Windows Mobile version on the emulator and on the real Pocket PC ?

Antonio,

Yes, the same version

Now I'm testing program on Win Server 2000. PPC is making connection, resolving GetHostByName but terminate with message:
"Internal error" at sending data to socket server oSocket:SendData("Data")

I cannot trace why.

Regards
Eugeniusz

Eugeniusz,

Does the internal error provide its description ? (it should)

Eugeniusz,

Is there a way to reproduce it on the Pocket PC emulator ?

Antonio,
I tray but I cannot get this error on emulator.

BTW I ask on msnews.microsoft.com microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer
for file and record locking.

Best regards
Eugeniusz

Eugeniusz,

It's entirely possible that Harbour does not provide file and record locking
on Windows CE platforms. Support for LockFileEx was only added in CE 5.0,
and in fact CF 2.0 doesn't provide a wrapper for it in the current version.

Eugeniusz,

Harbour uses LockFileEx() and it is available from FWPPC. Another issue is if WM 5.0 properly supports it. We may do a test in pure C to build a sample we may provide to Microsoft guys.
