Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;I did manage to get it to link by constructing the project from the makefile, and from this I figured out what on the linker command line was wrong - for some reason it had decided that this was a console app. &nbsp;doh! &nbsp;I'm new to VC.....<br />

Whenever I try to build the example WSOCK from the MS VC++ v4.2 samples\SDK\WIN32 folder, it will not link, claiming that &quot;_main()&quot; is undefined. &nbsp;I have followed the instructions for building a multithreaded application in the help file, which involves including the LIBCMT.LIB library, which would appear to cause this problem. &nbsp;As a windows program, there is no main() function, just a WinMain() function.<br />
How do I avoid/get around this problem?

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
