3 New Member
HI,
i am trying to create a simple UDP client application on the windows mobile using c# to send messages as data packets to a desktop pc. I am getting this error when deploy the application on windows mobile;

"An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used"
i am very new to windows mobile application development and this is partof my final year project. Can someone please give me some clues why i am getting this error? I need to solve this problem urgently

the bit of code that generates the error is as follows:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. string packet = "Hello";
  2. byte[] data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(packet);
  3. client.Send(data, data.Length, "127.0.0.1", 50000);
Thanks is advance..

Channa

The error you are getting indicates that the address 127.0.0.1 does not support UDP. If your phone is not network or ethernet compatible then sending data to the loopback will not work.

You should try using the WM 5 emulator instead of a real device, it can use your computers NIC to communicate with itself and the outside world.

Hi all. Here is a simple code, which when compiled with gcc results in the warning "incompatible pointer type" for arg 1, as expected. But this is just what I want to do, because it makes it easy for me to handle the single dimensional stream I have as a multidimensional array inside the function func(). Now, I am just wondering if there is a way by which I can disable this incompatible pointer type warning in gcc. Any suggestions?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
