Im trying to build code for a sendDataTest program from TB''s book multiplayer game dx programming and i get this error: [C++ Error] SendDataTest1.cpp(57): E2034 Cannot convert ''char ( *)[128]'' to ''char *'' at this line of code: // Received Data iBytesReceived = ClientSocketObject.Recv(&DataPacket, 128, 0); Sakira

Hi!

I think the error is that you''re passing to the function a pointer to DataPacket when DataPacket is already a char pointer.

Try to delete the ''&'' before DataPacket.

Hope this can help you!

Bye Bye

I tried that and i get this error:

[C++ Error] SendDataTest1.cpp(58): E2335 Overloaded ''endl'' ambiguous in this context

any other suggestions?

Somewhere you've defined a char array:

char DataPacket[128];

Then you do this:

iBytesReceived = ClientSocketObject.Recv(&DataPacket, 128, 0);

You are trying to send in a pointer to a pointer (the array) when calling the Recv() method of your class.

If you wanted to use the & operator you'd have to do this:

iBytesReceived = ClientSocketObject.Recv(&DataPacket[0], 128, 0);

When dealing with arrays, the name of the array is a pointer to the first element in the array:

&DataPacket[0] is the same as DataPacket.

So do what F104 said.


Also, I noticed that the second error you listed is on a different line (line 58) - meaning you probably fixed the original problem and now have a new one...
