Receive a 16-bit Integer from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveInt16, which reads exactly two bytes as a 16-bit integer and stores the result in the ReceivedInt property. Byte order and signedness are selectable.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Long
bTls = 1
Dim maxWaitMs As Long
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Read exactly two bytes as a 16-bit integer and store the result in the ReceivedInt property.
'  The 1st argument selects byte order (1 = big-endian); the 2nd selects unsigned interpretation.
Dim bBigEndian As Long
bBigEndian = 1
Dim bUnsigned As Long
bUnsigned = 0
success = socket.ReceiveInt16(bBigEndian,bUnsigned)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "Received 16-bit integer: " & socket.ReceivedInt
