Hi, I have a server running with a Form based managed C++ app. It initializes with: [code] try { listener = gcnew TcpListener(ipAddress, PORT_lock); listener->Start(); // Start listening for client requests. listener->BeginAcceptTcpClient(gcnew AsyncCallback(DoAcceptTcpClientCallback), listener); [/code] The callback funtion is defined as: [code] public: static void Form1::DoAcceptTcpClientCallback(IAsyncResult^ result) { try { …
