Hi.
I use TClientSocket and TClientWinSocket to send a dynamic byte array to
server by TClientWinSocket.SendBuf. But the only Address of dynamic byte
array is sent.Why?
How can I do? Please give me  example code.

very thanks

An Array in Delphi is a pointer to memory. You probably send the array (=
the pointer to the memory). To send the data of this array, try
 "MyArray^" intead of "MyArray".
The problem with Delphi is, that it interpreteds what you mean, pointer or
data.
For normal functions and procedures, sending a pointer is faster then
sending the complete data.
That's why Delphi standard sends just the pointer.
If you use "^", you tell Delphi to pass the data instead of the pointer.
I dont know about the SendBuf function if it will take this parameter, but
give it a try.

Instead of using Send...(...,arrayname,arraysize,...) use
Send...(...,arrayname[0],arraysize,...);

(of course make sure that the array has at least one element :)
