    <p>I am trying to pass whole structure from client to server or vice-versa. Let us assume my structure as follows</p> <pre><code>struct temp { int a; char b; } </code></pre> <p>I am using <strong>sendto</strong> and sending the address of the structure variable and receiving it on the other side using the <strong>recvfrom</strong> function. But I am not able to get the original data sent on the receiving end. In sendto function I am saving the received data into variable of type struct temp.</p> <pre><code>n = sendto(sock, &amp;pkt, sizeof(struct temp), 0, &amp;server, length); n = recvfrom(sock, &amp;pkt, sizeof(struct temp), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&amp;from,&amp;fromlen); </code></pre> <p>Where pkt is the variable of type struct temp. </p> <p>Eventhough I am receiving 8bytes of data but if I try to print it is simply showing garbage values. Any help for a fix on it ?</p> <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> <strong>No third party Libraries have to be used.</strong></p> <p><strong><em>EDIT1:</strong> I am really new to this serialization concept .. But without doing serialization cant I send a structure via sockets ?</em></p> <p><strong><em>EDIT2:</strong> When I try to send a string or an integer variable using the <strong>sendto</strong> and <strong>recvfrom</strong> functions I am receiving the data properly at receiver end. Why not in the case of a structure? If I don't have to use serializing function then should I send each and every member of the structure individually? This really is not a suitable solution since if there are 'n' number of members then there are 'n' number of lines of code added just to send or receive data.</em></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
