struct MiniPacket
{
int Data;
};


// init winsock code... s is socket...



MiniPacket MiniBuffer;
MiniBuffer.Data = Hello;
			
send(s,(char *) MiniBuffer,sizeof(MiniBuffer),0);
 

Is this how would you put a struct into a packet?

Almost
You just need to get the address of the struct though using &
so you would do
send( s, (char*)&MiniBuffer, sizeof(MiniBuffer), 0 );

Just remember though, if you have a pointer in your struct, it will only send that 4byte pointer, and NOT the data that is being pointed to. Not sure about arrays either, i don''t think they would work though. So as long as you stick to primitives in your struct you should be ok.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it works!!!!!!

Arrays work.

Cool, thanks. I guess arrays are allocated in the same memory as the rest of the struct aren''t they. Silly me
