Hi all

I am looking for a relatively easy data transfer from the Pocket PC device
to the PC

Unfortunately I may have to use CF 1.1 so the XML Serializer will not be
available

Is there any simple method to read/write the data to a file

Thank you,
Samuel
 
Use ActiveSync and RAPI. Use a Web Service. A socket. A web page. FTP.
There are lots of options and you've told us nothing of your requirements.
 
The PC is XP Home so it wil probably have to be a file the question is how
can I easily write and read the data to.from the file?

What file? Where? From where? You want to write to a file on the device
from the PC? A file on the PC from the device? Any particular type of
file? What kind of data? Give us the full picture. You know what you want,
but we don't.
 
I simply need to transfer data from the PC to the device and vice versa

The data is database data like Customers, orders etc.


Thank you,
Samuel
 
Ok, let's start again. Tell us exactly what you need to do, not a
generalized view. You need to transfer "data" that could mean a thousand
things. You want to attach to an existing database? You want to pass XML?
Serialized binaries? Over what transport medium? Serial? Bluetooth?
Ethernet? USB? You want to transfer it record by record? The entire
database/file? Where is the PC? Attached via a cradle? The other side of
the planet? Right now I know enough to narrow it down to only a few hundred
possible solutions.
 
I have a same class definition that contains all the data both on the PC and
the device

What I want to achieve is the following: Move the data from the Object
instance in the PC to the one on the device and Vice versa

At this point the process will not be fully automated and the users will
have to export the data on one end and import it on the other end

I therefore need to use a file. The format of the file makes no difference
to me

(the file will be transferred using ActiveAsync but that's irrelevant)

Another point is the that entire data will need to be transform in one go
(file)

Thank you,
Samuel
 
I managed doing that using another method
