I wasn't sure if you had a sample app like this. I am trying to avoid socket programming if possible. I am new to C++ and I just want to practice subscribing, receiving and parsing the data out to a text file. I have a programmer doing it for me now but I would like to start learning. Thanks Guys. scooke

You will need to do either sockets or COM programming to read data from the feed (it doesn't write to disk natively). With that said, I would recommend you take a look at the ConsoleBenchmarkTool example application. It is a very basic app that launches the feed and reads a list of commands from a file that it sends to the feed and then does some very basic parsing of the data that comes back.

If I am reading this correctly, I need to add this text to the ConsoleCommands.txt file: S,SET PROTOCOL,5.1 w@ES# With this in the file, shouldn't I see quote activity in Console window? Also, is there any chance that anyone has converted this to VS2010? I tried converting but it's throwing all sorts of errors. Thanks Steve. scooke

The code certainly should convert automatically without error and without modification. Can you give me a idea of the error messages you are getting?

Are you using the express version of Visual Studio? If so, that would be one possible explanation since I know that at least some of the Express versions don't have x64 support and our projects include those settings along with the x86 settings.
