Hi,

we have two devices running the .Net Compact Framework. One has to maintain
the other (file upload/download, configure settings, ...) via an infrared
port. What is the best way to do something like this?

- IrDA? What if some devices have a newer software version installed and
others a older version?

- Web Server? Pro: No version problem. How good is the integration into a
..Net Compact Framework Application? (The application of the device to be
maintained has at least 2 states: "in service" and "in maintenance". The Web
Server would only handle the maintenance part! If the application is "in
service" mode, the other device is not available. In that situation the
application is not controlled by a GUI!)

- Web Service?

- other?

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

-Puce
