hi


how using vb .net can i setup a new connection in the connection

If you mean on a Pocket PC device, look at OpenNETCF SDF. There's a
Connection Manager class in there. You should be able to access it from
VB.NET or C#, although it's written in C#.

Hi

thanks for that. Is there any documentation on the opennetcf?
 
hi thanks for that. Could help me with something else. Basically i want
to be able to send a file to my server over gprs. What classes or
routines are available to allow me to do this. As you can see im new to
..NET and the compact framwork but have created applications using
embeded visual basic

thanks again
 
This question actually has nothing to do with .NET CF at all; it's a much
higher-level question.

What interfaces does your server have? HTTP? There's HTTP support in the
framework itself. FTP? There are FTP classes in OpenNETCF. There's no
absolutely always-there method of sending files to desktop machines (that
would be a *huge* security hole). Once you know what capabilities the
server has, you'll know what you need to do on the .NET CF end...

the server would just be a standard windows server.No http support. FTP
is a option. Is there a way i can connect to a server on a specfic port
and transfer the files that way. Also we would want the server to push
the files out to the XDA over GPRS

thanks for your help
 
Sure, you'd have to write a program to run on the server to open that socket
and receive and write the file. That's commonly referred to as using
"sockets" to do the transfer. It's been discussed many, many times before.
Pushing, again, requires some sort of program on the target device (so the
Windows CE device, in this case), as well as the server-side program. Since
GPRS is just a network connection, it's not relevant to the question or
answer, except as it relates to your monthly cellular bill...
