I have created a socket application in C++.NET that connects in non-blocking
mode. All my previous apps of this kind have used blocking mode at the
connection, but in this case I did not want the app to wait if the server was
not available. In the course of doing this, I discovered after several
hours of frustration that the Connected property of the socket is not set in
non-blocking mode even after the connection is completed. Maybe this is
documented someplace, but I could not find it. Is this behavior to be
expected or have I got an error someplace else? I got around this by using
Poll instead to check for the connect status, but I would still like to know
why Connected is not working.
Thanks,
Bill
