About gprs connection

[tiagotele]

Hi all! I'm beginner in the Symbian C++ world, but I has studied this a lot. I'm researchin about network program and I have any questions about sockets and GPRS.

1-)GPRS supports the class Socket(Can I make connect,bind,listen,send,etc...)?
2-)If my device isn't attached to any network,when I make the connect() comand, my device is crash(or any similar behavior) or is will be showed any dialog requering the type of connection?

Sorry my bad english. See you later!

1. in symbian, normal socket api is RSocket, it is like unix socket, but is async.
2. and symbian support unix socket by openc plugin.
3. if you use rsocket, when connect, system will show you iap select dialog, if you cancel, you will get KErrCancel code.
you can start with sdk example
\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Series60Ex\sockets

Ok. Thanks for reply. But, I want to know if can I use the symbian types of data like RSocketServ,RSocket,TSockAddr,TInetAddr,etc in gprs networks?

"in symbian, normal socket api is RSocket, it is like unix socket, but is async."
What is async?

Thak's for help me. See you later!

Async -> Asynchronous

RSocketServ,RSocket,TSockAddr,TInetAddr all can be used on GPRS/3g connection.

connect()will prompt a dialog which will let you to choose the access point,if there is no working access point, your application will get a error/leave message.
