 The other alternative (catch the exception, check for the
 WSAEINPROGRESS error code and Poll ()) has one problem. How do I know
 if the socket is actually connected? And if not, which error code
 should i set in the exception thrown?

+Did you Poll(), wait for it to return, then try the Connect()
+(catching exceptions)?  Poll will return read/write ready when connect
+completes, so if Poll() returns and Connect() succeeds, the socket is
+connected.  If Poll() returns and Connect() still fails with
+EINPROGRESS, then we'll just have to rethrow the exception I think.
+
+Alternatively, we could implement WSAEventSelect(), which can set an
+OS event when the connect completes.
