Hi,

I am using the winsock control on VB5 (client/server).

If I send data from the server to a user on two separate lines of code....

         sckServer(1).SendData "This is line 1"
         sckServer(1).SendData "This is line 2"

The client only get one dataarrival event fired with the above text on one
line.

Has anyone got any solutions to this if I need two events to be fired? (Ie
data sent on two separate lines)

Thanks,

Olli.

do it like this

dim tmp as string
tmp="this is line1"+vbCrlf+"this is line2"
winsock1.senddata tmp

the client will receive two lines, thats what u wanted

a string that looks like "this is line1€€this is line2"

Try Doevents between sends
Let me know if works.

While performing DoEvents() may cause the messages to go out in two
separate packets, it's a very kludgy thing to do and will not be
predictable from one machine to the next.  

The only reason this might work is because the TCP protocol will only
wait so long for subsequent data to include in the packet before sending
off the data.  Because the two lines of code are executed on top of each
other, the data will most likely get combined into a single packet.

Let's fix the problem, not the symptoms.

Let me know if it works.

But that's not all.

You get no guarantee that the data will arrive in one or two (or three
or five) chunks, it arrives as it arrives and that's all there is to
it.  If the fact that you used two SendDatas is significant then you
need to supply some sort of an indicator that you can use on the
receiving end.  You could put CRLF between the lines, preceed them
with a byte count, etc.
