Ive written a C++ Tcp Client and Server in managed CLI but the concept of CLI disgusts me as the power of C++ was in its unmanaged state, it was even discontinued by microsoft i believe for this reason, any i digress.
Im looking to write a similar setup to create a port server to listen for various protocols over their respective ports and im wondering if theirs an unmanaged way of controlling tcp/ip ports or if i have to rely on the old c libraries; tcpip.h etc and use WMAStartup start the socket listeners and listen using WinSock.
Im not a noob, but at the same time not a professional(yet) so bare with me :)
Thanks man, i have tried using winsock2 and ws3tcpip in unmanaged, but havent really had a chance to explore the native stuff fully, i did eventually succedd in getting the CLI stuff working, and now have a new hatred for CLI and microsofts devil creation, ill stick with native methinks
