I am trying to lookup some example programs for windows socket. Particularly, I am interested in writing a client in C (in visual studio) which communicates to the server using UDP. I din't find any concrete material. I tried some examples but got some linking errors. Is there any library available. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

The Apache Portable Runtime supports sockets, and it is cross platform.

I've found a simple library, which provides implementation of networking, but it is for C++. (C++ Socket Class for Windows). You can look at it's implementation of working with sockets, or just use it (there are examples of simple client and server).

I had already looked at that. 2 things: I want to speed up my application and C++/ Java call malloc and do heap transactions which slow down the processes. So, I was thinking of implementing everything in C. As a worst case, I can use this. But I got linking errors LNK2019 Error error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ___WSAFDIsSet@
8 referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall SocketSelect::Readable(class Socket const * const)" (?Readable@SocketSelect@@QAE_NQBVSocket@@@Z) c:\Users\saurabh17g\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\ArdroneSocket\ArdroneSocket\Socket.obj Looks like I need to link a DLL to support this. Do you have any idea as the way to do that?
You need to add ws2_32 library to your linker options. Try #pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib")
