Hello.I've been doing a bit of research, and it appears that Vista supports a service discovery method called WS-Discovery. I found documentation for it here: http://specs.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/04/ discovery/ws-discovery.pdf I know next to nothing about it, but my impression so far is that it's MS's attempt to replace Bonjour.
As far as Bonjour, I used O'Reilly's book for documentation: http:// www.oreilly.com/catalog/bonjour/toc.html There is a pdf of chapter seven as the sample chapter, which covers the C API, which was all I needed to implement what I did.

Hi,Howl says he is busy with come commercial product but he'll be around if we need any help. For my purpose I only need service discovery, and I don't know much about the Avahi and Bonjour APIs. However I wouldn't mind making a general wrapper. I hope to learn from wxAvahi and wxDNSSD. Please help me with the APIs. I have submitted a request for wxZeroconf component on wxCode.Regards Ishan Arora On 5/22/07, Cursor < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello. I am OK to develop a general wrapper on top of Avahi and Bonjour (perhaps Howl too ?). I think it is a better idea than the Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi is not efficient as native one API. A wrapper can probably implement all common (and usefull) features andanyone who want to use very specific feature can use specific wxDNSSD orwxAvahi lib. Regards.
