MFC Socket

The MFC CSocket provides a wrapper for the Berkeley C Socket API for TCP and UDP sockets. CSocket is a derived class of CAsyncSocket. It encapsulates the details of a C socket and thus makes life much easier for Windows socket programmers. CSocket can implement both blocking/synchronous and unblocking/asynchronous sockets. In this site, you can find a number of networking programs we wrote. Below is a list of these programs.

•  TCP CSocket Examples
  • TCPEchoClient.cpp - Implements a simple TCP echo client. It first connects to a TCP echo server, and then it sends and receives an echo word supplied by the user on the command line.
  • TCPEchoServer.cpp - Implements an iterative TCP echo server.
  • TCPEchoServer-Thread.cpp - Implements a simple threaded TCP echo server, which spawns a new thread for each client.
  • HandleTCPClient.cpp - Function to handle a single client connection for the echo servers.
• UDP CSocket Examples
  • UDPEchoClient.cpp - Implements a simple UDP echo client. It first connects to a UDP echo server, and then it sends and receives an echo word supplied by the user on the command line.
  • UDPEchoServer.cpp - Implements a simple UDP echo server.
• Utility Program 
  • DieWithError.cpp - Handles errors and exits a program on errors.
• Make sure to read the README.txt file for compilation instructions.
