Help sending packets

dragonsword1 · 06/26/2012, 00:46

well i knew that i need to put the packet in a byte array

so i defined it

Code:

BYTE pack[7] = {
    0x01, 0x00, 
    0x4F, 0x70,  
    0x20, 0x00, 
    0x04    
};

and when i send it using the send through a socket like this

Code:

send(nuconnector,pack, sizeof(pack), 0);

it gives me this error

Code:

error C2664: 'send' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'BYTE [7]' to 'const char *'

what should i do to make this thing work :S help please

tanks in advance

try this:

Code:

send(nuconnector,&pack, sizeof(pack), 0);

It's been a while since i've used the byte array and sending them so not sure if it works though.

its solved i made it

Code:

send(nuconnector,reinterpret_cast <char*>(packet), sizeof(packet), 0);

and it works now

thanks for the help mate
