Hi,

Very new to compact framework programing. 2 questions:

1. I just read a 2 year old post which has the statement that you
can't use rapi with the emulator. Is this still true?

2. I was wondering if there is something other than RAPI that allows
a dot.net cf application to be able to move files between the desktop
and the pocket pc (something that works within the clr and is part of
the .net namespaces?)

Thanks a lot from a newbie,
Neil
 
RAPI works over ActiveSync, so if you can get it to connect to the emulator,
then you can use it.

Chris,

Thanks for answering. I did try to connect to the emulator while it
was up and running. I wrote a small .net windows app that called
RapiInit (I think it's called). I got a connection wizard which checked
all the ports. It couldn't find the emulator.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
neil
 
You have to make an ActiveSync connection to the emulator first, then RAPI
will work. Check the archives on how to do it - I believe it's a convoluted
process - I've never done it.
