Hello,

I'm currently experimenting with the ASINet lib.

Has anyone done a framework that gives the socket some "event" behaviour?

Mainly, it could hide the whole event loop from the developer.

Some example code how it might look like:



procedure main
    local oInet := ASInetwithEvents():new()

    oInet:ForkOnConnect := .t.
    oInet:OnConnect := {|a|myconnectfnct(a)}
    oInet:OnDataArrival : {|a|myfncttoreaddatafromsocket(a)}

    oInet:Start()
return

function myconnectfnct(nSocket)
    ...
return lSuccess

function myfncttoreaddatafromsocket(nSocket)
    ...
return cInputfromSocket



I like the event driven paradigm a lot. But maybe I'm the only one

Xb2.NET provides events like: OnConnect, OnMaxConnect, OnGET, OnError, 
Encode, Decode, and many more. See: http://www.xb2.net

This should be quite easy with the Thread() class, but I have had no time
to take a deeper look into ASINET...

Does anyone know a good tutorial for socket programming?

Here are some internet resources about socket programming:

http://world.std.com/~jimf/papers/sockets/winsock.html

http://www.sockaddr.com/
http://war.jgaa.com/ftp
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/windows/winsock-faq/
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winsock/spec11/winsock.txt
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/Winsock.html
http://www.sockets.com/
http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~radionet/nuc1996/ref/winsock/

The first one is IMHO a good starting point.

Well, I could not say the above sentence in spanish, so you clearly are in
advantage.

My spanish knowledge is limited to "solid-and-fluid ordering spanish" like
"un cerveza per favor"

Take a look at ...SOURCE\samples\ASINET\SOCKETS\server.prg

This create a thread to monitor a port for new connections, and spawns
new threads to administer each new connection.

Yiu should be able to tailor the ClientThread() class to suit your
requirements.

BRAIN, n. An apparatus with which we think what we think.  That which 
distinguishes the man who is content to _be_ something from the man 
who wishes to _do_ something.  A man of great wealth, or one who has 
been pitchforked into high station, has commonly such a headful of 
brain that his neighbors cannot keep their hats on.  In our 
civilization, and under our republican form of government, brain is so 
highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of 
office.
