C# socket connection with C++ program

[lumstar]

Hi there,

I have a C# program (We'll call it server) using a TCPListener to accept connections. I am trying to connect to the socket using a from a C++ program (We'll call it client). (Not Visual C++ or .Net, it is compiled in gcc 2.8).

Whenever I try to connect to the server fro mthe client I get a connection refused message. How do I setup a C# socket to accept connections from other languages. The C# server works fin when I connect to it from a C# client.

Please let me know if i have been unclear or if more information is needed.

Thanks in advance,

This should work. I do it all the time at work (back-end in C++, UI in C#).

I suspect that your Socket object isn't being Disposed of properly, so you're having to wait for the garbage collector to run to re-open that port. Make sure you call .Dispose() on it when you close it.

My problem was that it wasn't a Winsock Socket. It was a UNIX socket. I got it working. Thanks for the help.
