I would like to connect to an application on a different computer by UDP. Therefor I download and tested the UDP-example and but it didn't work. The socket address is an integer. How can I transfer the name of the second computer into an IP-address and how may I get this value into the UDPWRITE command. Any help will be great.
You might want to consider using Datasocket or TCP if you want a relaible way of sending data across a network. CVI has some shipping examples for TCP and datasocket that demonstrate this. They're extremely robust and simple to use. You can find them under ..\CVI\samples\tcp and ..\CVI\samples\datasocket.
Thank you for your answer, but the problem is that the application, where I would like to connect to, is written by a different department and they use Labview and UDP. Using a Labview-dll is possible, but will be not so useable for me.
The example that you saw was based on Win32 api. It gave you some basic functionality, but you can go into the code and see how it worked. Here is a link to an example of this using VC. Once you install the windows sdk that comes with CVI, you can use those functions with CVI. This way, you can customize it to what ever you need.
