sockets async?

[iwdu15]

hi, this should b a simple question...does the socket class use async? like
in vb u have to tell it to use async, but in c++ i cant find either, its just
"listen" or "connect"...is it async or sync?

..Net classes are what they are and work the same way whether the caller is
written VB.Net, C# or C++/CLI.

If you are not talking about .Net's socket class then to which one do you
refer? Is it MFC's? If so, check the docs for CSocket and CAsyncSocket.

so much for a simple question...i was talking about the System::Net::Socket
class

i made a program in VB using sockets and the socket object had the "Begin
Listen"(async) method and the "Listen"(sync) methods for example, whereas in
C++ the same object just has "Listen"....am i missing something here?

Hmm. I'm not near my PC where I have the MSDN library installed, but the
online library has these methods in the Socket class whose names start with
Begin...

BeginAccept
BeginConnect
BeginReceive
BeginReceiveFrom
BeginSend
BeginSendTo

I see no BeginListen. Intellisense doesn't show one either. Could you point
me to the docs for the VB method that you are using?
