Hi,
I am trying to make a chat program over a LAN network for my college project.
So as a start, I tried to make a server program and a client program, and ran them on the same pc using that loop back address 127.0.0.1.

Now, I successfully made the client program connect to the server program. But when I tried to implement send() and recv() to receive a string of text and show the text in a messagebox, I failed to do so. I can't find the error in the code. It is compiling with no problems, but while running, the server receives no text string.

Here is the code (for client) (showing only the windows procedure and the required functions:

HWND hwnd;
SOCKET s;

bool ConnectToHost(int PortNo,char* IPAddress)
{
     WSADATA wsadata;
     
     int error=WSAStartup(0x0202, &wsadata);
     
     if(error)
     return false;
     
     if(wsadata.wVersion!=0x0202)
     {
                                 WSACleanup();
                                 return false;
     }
     
     SOCKADDR_IN target;
     
     target.sin_family=AF_INET;
     target.sin_port=htons(PortNo);
     target.sin_addr.s_addr= inet_addr(IPAddress);
     
     s=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);
     
     if(s==INVALID_SOCKET)
     {return false;
     }
     
     if(connect(s,(SOCKADDR*)&target,sizeof(target))==SOCKET_ERROR)
     return false;
     else return true;
