Here is pseudo code of what I would like to do:
.net::socket a;
boost::asio::socket b;
b.assign(a.nativeWin32Socket());
Have you tried?
b.assign(a.Handle.ToInt32());
Also note they you will need to use WSADuplicateSocket as you may get that both b and a will close the socket and point you don't expect.
So you need something like:
SOCKET native = WSADuplicateSocket(a.Handle.ToInt32(),...);
b.assign(native);
Full Answer (Tested)
SOCKET native = a->Handle.ToInt32();
// Now native is a real socket
b.assign(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), native);
Now it is good idea to duplicate the socket using WSADuplicateSocket:
You can use assign to assign a native socket to a Boost asio socket. See the accepted answer to How to create a Boost.Asio socket from a native socket.
