From what I''ve learned in the last few weeks, you have to use a function that understands overlapped I/O. WSARecv/WSASend are one way. The other way I have seen people do it is with WriteFile/ReadFile.

Hope that helps. There aren''t a ton of examples of IOCP out there yet.

Once you make the call that creates the overlapped IO structure, the code to handle it is the same for commports, socket, & files. There will be differences in the functions called to handle the data once it''s completed, but the wating part is nearly identical for all three cases - so you can look at overlapped file io for examples (don''t look at the comm stuff, it''s poor code and usaully wrong).

I think there''s an article on GameDev about using IOCP''s as well, search ''em.
