Thanks for the response.

Yes, I do it like you mentioned.
CClientSocket* pNewSocket = new CClientSocket(this);
if(!pNewSocket)
{
WriteError(ecNotEnoughMemory, "cannot_create_new_socket", "AcceptNewClient");
return;
}
if(m_pListenSocket->Accept(*pNewSocket))
{
...
}
This code is called when I fall in the OnAccept from the Listen socket. The problem is that i don't fall in the function anymore. But if I check the Socket is still (with other tools) listening and even puts incoming request in the pending queue. And indeed after 5 clients trying to connect (they hang) the sixth client gets a connection refused.
Could it be that the message handling pump is 'broken'. And if so can i check for it in order to make a new listensocket?
Yes it's a multithreaded application (about 13 threads)

Ok. Just wanted to make sure since it could be interpreted the other way around.

What do you mean by "broken"?
Every thread that creates a socket has to be a UI-thread, i.e. it has got to have a message pump. This means you must have a CWinThread derivative where the socket is a member of the class.
If you create sockets in worker threads that don't have message pumps, Chaos and Mayhem will follow.

Yep I have a CWinThread derived class CConnectionManager which creates a CListenSocket object.
CListenSocket has override the OnAccept function to accept an incoming Client. But doesn't the listen socket creates a dummy window so it can receive the message sent. Otherwise how would one make a difference between message for the thread and those for the listen socket.
I have checked and the thread message pump is still working. So maybe the Handle to identify the listen socket has gotten invalid. Is there a way to check if the listen socket can still receive mesagges.
I have another CWinthread derivative that also manages a Listen socken on another port and this keeps on working, sometimes  . Sometimes all listen sockets keep on working, other times its only the Client Listen socket which fails, yet another time its the ohter listen socket which fails. And if i'm very lucky (NOT) both the listen sockets are being kidnapped by somekind of Gremlin. AArrgh !! 
I'm getting crazy with this issue. I mean the network of another pc fails. Resulting in a database connection loss. But my listen socket go down

Hmm, at least you haven't made the most common mistakes.
More seriously though...
When I find myself in situations like yours, I try to revert to basics.
What happens if you create a mockup with only one thread...?
See if you find anything in this article[^] that might help you.

Can't recall that I have seen such a behaviour in my networking applications. I wonder if you can go single threaded (from your postings it sounds that you are using an event based socket class with multiple threads)?

What I am thinking is NOT kid sister safe. In fact, I'm about to just throw the dang laptop right through the window...
I have an embedded VC++ 4.0 project. FWIW, evc++ is very, very close to VS6. Let's assume it is for the moment. I go into the bitmap editor to change a bitmap (you think?). I save the changes, pull back up the bitmap, no changes!!!!
Why? I have no error messages, it claims to have saved the file? What am I missing?

Have you tried to modify it from MSPaint??? I had some problems with a bitmap and I solved them from paint.
Another thing you can do is to open your bitmap, copy it and paste it to another bitmap resource, go to your resources folder, change name of the old bitmap, edit the new resource (the pasted one) and set the name to the old name (so you don't need to change code in your programm).

hi,
i have an application which generates a signature for a file. the problem i am facing is when i run it, it gives the error :
User breakpoint called from code at 0X77fcb940
and in the output window i get the following error:
HEAP[UsageInstanceTool.exe]: Invalid Address specified to RtlFreeHeap( 3c0000, 818d58 )
I am testing the application in Release mode. There seems to be no problem in debug mode.
I have no idea what the problem is since i am new to VC++ programming.
waiting for help!

It seems like you're freeing an uninitialized pointer.
Always initialize pointers by assigning NULL at declaration. That way you'll be able to test whether the pointer is valid or not.
Also read this article[^].

Hi,
This looks like a memory overrun, probably on a buffer somewhere. In Debug VC++ pads out every allocation of memory you make with some extra bytes which can be used to see if you've overun the end of an array somewhere. It should report this but it doesn't always especially if you leak, i.e. don't delete, the whole array. In Release these extra bytes are missing and the same overrun will damage real data or code and you may see different behaviour. This is all a bit general but I dont know what your code looks like;)
To be a bit more specific RTLFreeHeap is a built in Windows function that gets called when you call delete in your code. The 'Invalid Address' error means that it's trying to delete a pointer that was not the result of a new, could be uninitialised, or more often one that has already been deleted, or points at deleted memory. Check for duplicate delete calls and buffer overruns, remember if you're new to C++ that confusingly the lest element of int array[10]; is array[9] because the first element is array[0].
The best way to pick up memory issues like this in a small app is to run only parts of it, e.g start up and shutdown code only initially and keep adding more small sections back in until the problem appears in Release. You'll soon spot it.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

I give the following advice about once a month; it often helps me track down the nastier heap errors:
Try enabling the page heap[^] for your process. Follow these steps:
1. Download and install WinDBG[^].
2. Select “Start”->“All Programs”->“Debugging Tools for Windows”->“Global Flags”.
3. Select the “Image File” tab.
4. In the “Image: (TAB to refresh)” edit control enter the name of your app then press TAB. Just the name with the extension; not the full path.
5. Tick the following:
- “Enable page heap”
- “Enable heap tail checking”
- “Enable heap free checking”
- “Enable heap parameter checking”
- “Enable heap validation on call”
- “Create user mode stack trace database”
6. Press “Apply”.
7. Debug your application. Any debugger will do but with WinDBG you have access to the stack traces of allocations via the !heap –p –a command, for example. When a heap problem is detected a breakpoint will be generated.
8. When done un-tick all the options you ticked, press “Apply” then dismiss GFlags. This step is important as if it’s skipped all applications named as entered in step 4 will run with the page heap enabled.
Note that when using the page heap your application will run much slower than normal and consume way more memory. It’s good to have a beefy machine to do such tests; and such tests should be ran regularly on all applications you develop as part of regular testing activities. If I find a part of my application that’s too slow with the page heap enabled I optimize the memory allocation in that region.

hye,
i want to stream video from my client pc to server pc...
can anybody tell the proper method of doing so....
any useful articles??????

Perhaps VideoLAN - VLC media player[^] can be of interest.
It can be used both as server and player.

Use IWMWriterNetworkSink interface to stream video(in windows media format).
For more details about this interface see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa390099.aspx
wmvnetwrite sample application is available in Windows Media Format SDK 9.5

Hello.
These are the codes that I have used to read a bin file and to store in 3 variables.
Most of the files read have 1024 columns, hence iI < 1024. If i try to open a file that is less than 1024, the program will give me unexpected file format error. How can detect the end of the file and break from the loop if a file of less than 1024 column is opened?
Thanks.
<br />
void CVecDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar)<br />
{<br />
int iI, iK;<br />
unsigned char cDataOne, cDataTwo;<br />
short sSwap, as[3];<br />
<br />
if (ar.IsStoring())<br />
{<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
for (iI = 0; iI < 1024; iI++)<br />
{<br />
for (iK = 0; iK < 3; iK++)<br />
{<br />
ar >> cDataOne >> cDataTwo;<br />
<br />
sSwap = ((short)cDataTwo << 8) + (short)cDataOne;<br />
as[iK] = sSwap;<br />
<br />
m_a1[iI] = as[0];<br />
m_a2[iI] = as[1];<br />
m_a3[iI] = as[2];<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />

Hi,
There is an end of file function eof() which you can use. It is a boolean function which returns a non-zero number when the end of file is reached otherwise it returns zero (meaning false).
You will have to use a stream variable to use the function.
A very simple article explaining the function is here:
http://www.mathbits.org/MathBits/CompSci/Files/End.htm
Hope this helps.

Which is a concept known only to your code. It's up to you to determine if the file contains 1024 columns or not.

Have you stepped through the code to find out at what point this error occurs?

Yes. It shows that the error occur before the loop end, when iI = 300+.
Can I use ar.??? to detect the end of the file?
