[Quickfix-developers] cant compile 1.5 version on VS.NET / no connection bug fixed in1.5 ?

[<jo...@be...>]

Thanks for that hint.

I dont need 4.3 yet. The problem I have in the version I use is that I dont get any meaningfull error message when the socket to the FIX counterparty is dead ! I just get "external object has thrown an exception". Only by single stepping with  the debugger through all the code I could see that the socket connection fails.

Has that been fixed in a pre 1.5. version or is there a workaround ?

An alternate work-around, if you absolutely need features in 1.5 (for
example, repeating groups), and are a bit scared of using an interim
version, is to simply remove all the FIX43 stuff from the header files.  It
then compiles fine...
