Hi,

I would like to ask, I'm developing an application that for some
functionality has to be connected to the web in order to connect to the
corporate office, however the managment requires us to block access so the
users won't be able to browse the web even when the device is connected, so
I'm wondring if anyone has any advise on how to accomplish this.

Best Regards,

The only real way, at least on a pre-configured device like Pocket PC or
SmartPhone, would be to make your program the only one that the user can
access, once it's running. That is, he can't get to the Today screen, can't
get to the Start menu, etc. This is often referred to as "kiosk" mode and
you can search for that in the archives in this newsgroup to find the
various issues and answers:

I suppose that you could also try periodically enumerating the processes,
looking for one that has an EXE name of the browser and killing it...
