A new class implementation of Winsock API. By style close to the native Winsock control and other class implementations such as CSocket and CSocketMaster, so you don't need to learn or rewrite much of existing code. The new and cool part about this class is that it is just one class file. Also, it performs better (by speed) and handles errors a bit more cleanly (you aren't forced to close the socket each time an error occurs). Other speciality is transparent Unicode support: when you switch to text mode, you start receiving TextArrival event instead of DataArrival and start getting individual lines. These lines are automatically Unicode if received line is UTF-8 or UTF-16! ANSI lines require you to use StrConv to get an usable string, thus you have the power on what to do with the raw data before any conversion has affected it. **** Support thread and documentation: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=534580 **** Special thanks to Paul Caton and LaVolpe for their work on SelfSub, SelfHook and SelfCallback. **** UPDATE 2008-08-12: Now Vista compatible!

I'm getting errors trying to run this class on vista, I'll assume its not just your code tho as CSocketMaster does not work on vista as well. Is there any winsock replacement that is compatible?

I was hoping this code would make a good replacement for CSocketMaster, but like CSocket it isnt vista-compatible either :(

Humm, I'll try it on Vista. I used CSocketMaster for reference to speed up development, so I've probably duplicated some troublesome behavior (and I've noticed that there is some degree of stability issues, so I may need to do changes anyway).

I recommend you to make a small client and server sample application inside your code. It may consists of two sub folder "client" and "server". This sample will help us to understand the ability and the feature of the class. Thank you.

Masino: yeah, I agree. I also just got a report on UDP support not working, apparently an error in some API call. I simply copied to UDP support from CSocketMaster, I've never done any UDP connections myself. Thus better to make an example of all the important features so that it gets tested well enough.
I have done a further update that fixes memory issues, but I've now got a new bug that makes the application crash in IDE if the Stop button is pressed. That also needs to be resolved (just for convenience of development).

Cool, just what I needed. I assume data arival can be used with an array of bytes?.Anyway great control

Yes, you can use an array of bytes. You can use almost all the datatypes of VB6.

Cool.
A class better than CSocket and CSocketMaster...
But... when are you going to release the update with the fixes and demos you talked about in August?

I haven't had the time: too many things (attempt to) take my time on weekends and work that I started this month keeps me too tired to concentrate in complex projects such as UniSock during the rest of the week.

what we need is a fixed version of CSocketMaster for vista, having it in one class would be a nice bonus though. I would love to see this stable though!

Whoa, the contest is still running! Now if I just updated the code to fix the parts that are broken to really be worth it... jobs are evil, have ran out of time pretty much in the last few months.

If WndProc is the first Function in the class it doesn't crash the IDE. But I'm having a problem getting it to work. It won't initialize properly now. Has anyone made any progress with making this more stable?
