Hi,
I am not a communication expert. I am working on an application in
windows .net, where in i have to send some data (the data could be
assumed to be any text data) to an ip from a windows ce mobile, and
also receive some data from the same ip (the mobile is GPRS enabled).
Could some tell how i could do this or point me to some reading
material regarding the same.

Thanks,
Rithesh
 
To be more specific i have to interact with a Server. Just as an
example, my application will have an option to find the movies showing
at a particular theater, i should send the name of the theater to the
server from my pocket pc, and the server should be able to respond back
with the info. Kindly let me know how i could start off working on such
applications, what are the APIs if any available, for such
communocation.

Thanks,
Rithesh
 
Are you asking how to implement the comms via GPRS or how to implement
server side code?

Hello Simon,

I wanted to know how to implement the comms via GPRS(the phone or the
client side) not the server side.

thanks and regards,

Presumably, it's just going to be a socket connection, at the lowest level.
GPRS is essentially just a form of local area network, so you'd program it
just like you're connected with Ethernet. As Chris' suggests, the most
standard way to do this would be to publish a Web service on your server.

So i am guessing that you want similar behavior to that in Pocket IE, where
it automatically uses a Wi-Fi or GPRS connection if not already connected
when you request a service?

In the above case, if this is what you want you could try looking at the
OpenNETCF ConnectionManager class. They have done alot of good work on this.

Regards
Simon.
 
Thankyou very much Simon and Paul. As Simon sugested the behaviour of
my aplication will be similar to a Pocket IE. That should help me a
lot.

Rithesh
