How to use 'GetData' method of Winsock Control in Visual Foxpro 6.0???

[凡高]

Hi all,
I am using the Winsock Control in Visual Foxpro 6.0 to establish a
connection and get/put data.Now I am troubled by a problem.My winsock
control has established a connection successfully and the "DataArrival"
event has been normally triggered.But when I code in "DataArrival" event
like below:
sData=""
sckServer.GetData(sData,8)
I got nothing! The length of 'sData' is always 0.The second para of
'Getdata' method means 'vbString' type. Why?
I am looking forwad your help.
Thanks a lot in advance !!!

BTW: I have acomplished it successfully with VB in same way.

Hi there,

I too had problems implementing the Winsock control in VFP after writing a
successful program in VB

Try the following code in the DataArrival event

sdata = ""
sckServer.getdata(@sdata,8,bytestotal)

this works for me!

Hope this helps
