I am tring to connect to BNLS via Delphi. I am tring to send the verbyte request

[code]
procedure TfrmMain.BNLSConnect(Sender: TObject);
begin
  AddC(clWhite,'Connected To BNLS');
  Buffer := #1;
  SendBNLS($10);
end;
[/code]

[code]
procedure TfrmMain.SendBNLS(PacketID : Byte);
//(WORD)      Message Length, including this header
//(BYTE)      Message ID
//(VOID)      Message Data
var
  Len: Word;
begin
  Len := Length(Buffer) + 1;

  frmMain.BNLS.SendStream(Chr(Len) + PacketID + Buffer);
end;
[/code]
When ever I try to compile I get an error telling me
[Error] UMain.pas(86): E2008 Incompatible types and highlights frmMain.BNLS.SendStream(Chr(Len) + PacketID + Buffer);

The declares are
[code]
Len: Word;
PacketID : Byte;
Buffer: WideString;
[/code]
Any1 know how I can get this to work?

Edit: Spelling

Out of curiousity, are you the one using Delphi 2005?  Isn't that developed for .NET?

Yea I am using 2005 and you dont need to develop for .Net

A word is 2 bytes *cough*.  You are trying to make an ASCII char out of a 2 byte value.  :X

that isnt my problem I dont think. SendStream() wants a TString

Actually, a word's size depends on the host architecture.  On an x86, a word is 4 bytes.  No one wants to go back to the days of 2byte words, because those were the days of real mode.

Okay, let's just say a word is half a double word? Mmk.
