recvfrom() error 10035 using non-blocking sockets
This is normal if no data is available. The code is WSAEWOULDBLOCK (see this table) and means, that on a blocking port the function would have to sit and wait until it could be served.
while(1)
{
if((recv_len = recvfrom(newSocketIdentifier, receiveBuffer, sizeof(receiveBuffer), 0, (struct sockaddr *) &clientSocket, &clientSocketLength)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
int ierr= WSAGetLastError();
if (ierr==WSAEWOULDBLOCK) { // currently no data available
Sleep(50); // wait and try again
continue;
}
// Other errors
char err[128];
itoa(ierr,err,10);
MessageBox( NULL,"Could not Receive Data",err,MB_ICONINFORMATION);
break;
