• Namza WM5 : Winsock bind() and routing table

  Hi, I developp application under VS2005/CF2, target is a pocketPC WM5, main component is a c# one, others are C++ dlls. From dlls, I use winsock to handle connections to 2 servers or more. When more than one network interfaces are active on device (wifi and gprs for example), how can I be sure that socket will be rightly bind to interface I choose by bind() I made some tests to connect socket (UDP or TCP) through gprs network interface (socket(), setsockopt(), bind(gprs ip address), connect(one of server), send()), but it seems packets are sent through wifi interface. I use bind, connect, send as sendto (from winsock doc) makes an implicit binding which can be made on "wrong" interface. Is there a link between ...Show All

But another problem - after 3-6 seconds of drawing OutOfMemoryException...
