[EDN Admin]

im having a problem in sending a bitmap image using winsock, problem is sometimes im not receiving the whole image and sometimes only a blank image.
i dont know if its a problem in sending the file or receiving it cuz im totally new to winsock
here is my code:

[/code]
void _send(char* fileTosend)<br/>
{<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere FILE *file;<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere char *buffer;<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere unsigned long fileLen;<br/>
<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere file = fopen(fileTosend, "rb");<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere if (!file)<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere {<br/>

<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere fileLen=ftell(file);<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);<br/>
<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere buffer = new char[fileLen];<br/>
<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere fread(buffer, fileLen, 1, file);<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere char size[MAX_PATH];<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere sprintf(size, "%i", fileLen);<br/>
<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere fclose(file);<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere send(sConnect, size, MAX_PATH, 0); //send file size<br/>

<br/>
void _recv(char* fileToRcv) <br/>
{<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere int dwSize;<br/>
char* buffer = new char[1024];<br/>
<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere if(recv(sConnect, (char*)buffer, 1024, 0)) //receive file size<br/>
<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere {<br/>

<span class="x_x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacere }<br/>
}

[/code]


ok so i tried on receiving the file...
<pre style="font-size:12px; line-height:normal

int byte_rcv = 0;

[/code]


when(1)<br/>
<br/>
{<br/>
<br/>
byte_rcv = recv(sConnect, char* )ibuffer, dwSize, 0)<br/>
fwrite((const char*)ibuffer, 1, dwSize, pfile);<br/>
if(byte_rcv == 0)<br/>
<br/>
break;<br/>
<br/>
}

<pre style="font-size:12px; line-height:normal

fclose(pfile);

[/code]


not working for me and so as many code snippets on the web that i found (frustrated),,
i also noticed that when after i didnt received the whole image of the picture, there are these ascii text left in my program screen and my program will then stop working
so could it also be that it received all the binary data but just didnt write it all in the file ?

hope someone can help me..thanks in advance
