Problem connecting to a Server in C# from client in VC++

[Usman]

Hi

I'm having problem with a scenarion where I have a server written in C# and
client written in VC6++.

Here is the server code that i'm using including the Callback function for
handling clients. Also there's a commented code where i'm using TCPListener
instead of simple Socket Class. The problem i'm having is that when I run
this code using Socket class, the server starts well but "OnClientConnec t"
method never gets called. On debugging I found out that on the (VC++) client
side the socket connects successfully and even sends data successfully on
this connected socket. But on this C# server side the OnClientConnect
method never gets called. I dont know who's accepting the client.

On the contrary when I comment out this Socket code and uncomment the
TCPListener code, then the code gets executed as soon as the VC6 client
executes its "connect" call. Can someone please tell where could the problem
be with using Socket class in this server code, I'm really stuck in it.

Regards

Usman
