Hello,

It would be interesting to know *how* you exactly transfer the information at 
hand and then build a solution from there.
Anyways, I use ASIO in conjunction with boost::serialization. There is an 
example on the ASIO website. I found that combination extremely handy. With 
this approach one could easily transfer any kind of data, for example in a 
std::vector.

hth,
