Hello my friends.

I loved this peace of code. I decided to help us all opensource programmers a bit and try to solve this problem.

I fixed code a bit and made it compilable.

I received exception described.

I addressed this question to community of Grate StackOverflow programmers.

Ben Voigt *(it seems a member of msmvps)provided a solution to this problem which was tested and that works.

here is final code I compiled and tested:

#include <iostream>
#ifdef _WIN32
#define BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_IOCP 1
#endif
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#ifdef _WIN32
#include "Windows.h"
#endif
using namespace boost::asio::ip;
using namespace std;
int main(){
        int m_nPort = 12345;
        boost::asio::io_service io_service;
        tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(), m_nPort));
        cout << "Waiting for connection..." << endl;
        tcp::socket socket(io_service);
        acceptor.accept(socket);
        cout << "connection accepted" << endl;
#ifdef _WIN32
        WSAPROTOCOL_INFO pi;
        WSADuplicateSocket(socket.native(), GetCurrentProcessId(), &pi);
        SOCKET socketDup = WSASocket(pi.iAddressFamily/*AF_INET*/, pi.iSocketType/*SOCK_STREAM*/,
                pi.iProtocol/*IPPROTO_TCP*/, &pi, 0, 0);
        char sText[] = "I can use my duplicated socket via WinApi!\r\n";
        int nRet = send(socketDup, sText, strlen(sText), 0);
#else
        //linux
        int socketDup = dup(socket.native()); // tested on Linux, works!
#endif
        try
        {
                tcp::socket s(io_service);
                s.assign(tcp::v4(), socketDup); //this throws exception under Windows
                //I can't use my socket via boost lib
                s.send(boost::asio::buffer("Not work\r\n"));
                cout << "We do not get here!=(" << endl;
        }
        catch(exception &e)
        {
                cerr << e.what() << endl; //"The parameter is incorrect" exception
        }
        cin.get();
}
