Dial-Up Connection

[Ralf Haenel]

Hi,

I am writing a programm on the compact framework. It is using a dial-up
connection to
the internet for transfering data from/to a server. OK

But how can I establish the dial-up connection automatically from the
programm without using:

start->settings->Network and dialup-connections->myconnection etc.

Is there an API function to use.


Thanks for help

Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

it is possible use Ras:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...comm5/html/wce50constartingarasconnection.asp

Example dll: http://www.codeppc.com/evc/articles/ras/ras3/ras3.htm

and with PPC, Connection Manager:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...P/html/sp_connmgr_connmgrconnectionstatus.asp

Example: opennetcf.org

Is this a device default data connection or one made specifically for such
transfers?

Hi,

it is a connection to a internet service provider.

In that case you maay want to use Connection Manager to establish the
default data connection for you. It is wrapped in OpenNETCF SDF.
Alternatively, if you use HttpWebRequest class to establish a connection to
some host, the CF runtime will "dial" your data connection (CF runtime
internally wraps connection manager)
