Yes, I have searched google, but I don't own any stock anyway.

Can someone give me a Quick Start on developing an ActiveSync provider?

I just need something that will connect to the internet and transfer data
to/from the Pocket PC when they sync.

Can it be done in Visual Basic?
 
You can use VB/C#/whatever to develop an app, then set a new reg value (any
name) at "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect"
with the path to the exe as the value. When ActiveSync receives a
connection, it'll fire up that app. There's another key for the disconnect
event as well.
 
Pls visit OpenNETCF.org, note OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communication.ActiveSync?

why can they do it?
 
I did not exactly know what you said. For implement desktop service provider,
i must implement IReplObjHandler interface. Can you tell me how to do this?
In the tutorial of COM Interop, if i want to use c# to develop an app, i
could import IDL of IReplObjHandler to my project at first, could i ?
 
They can't and I know since I wrote all of that code and I've also written
providers. It's not a AS provider, it's a RAPI wrapper. It has a lot of
utility, but it doesn't detect object changes, do conflict resiolution or do
any sort of operation that would be a sync.
 
Download "SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs". It contains the
file "cesync.h" in the directory "Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC
2003\Include". IReplObjHandler doesn't contain GUID. There are also for
this topic some links:
