Accessing files in mobile device programmatically from a PC

Hi guys,

I have a number of mobile devices which will be connected, one at a
time, to a PC. (USB connection + ActiveSync.) I need to run a program
(C#) in the host PC that can access each device's memory in turn and
exchange files with them.

Here's the catch; I'd like to *not* have to run a program from each
device as I place it on the cradle, relying instead on the included
ActiveSync features. I.e., it should be as easy as placing the next
device and pressing a key in the host PC.

I'm having trouble getting to the appropriate folder. Using the
"Explore" button in ActiveSync gives me the "Mobile Device" folder,
from where I can navigate to the appropriate drive -- but I can't get
there any other way. If I use an OpenFileDialog it never shows me the
device in My Computer, even though Windows Explorer does.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Pedro.
 
Explorere is using a shell extension, so you can't do it that way. You need
to use RAPI.

Thanks. I've managed to get OpenNETCF's Destop.Communication working
with VS2003. Worked like a charm. :)

Cheers!
