Please excuse if this question has been covered but I cannot seem to find an
answer. I have an application that needs to be able to programmatically
upload a document upon syncing. The document needs to be inspected and
combined with other like documents on a server so I think this may need to
be done on the desktop instead of the mobile device. We are developing with
Visual Studio .NET so any pertinent suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Take a look at the OpenNETCF Communications library. You can set an
application to automatically run when the device is connected, which can
then do the file transfer.
 
Gracias. Do you have any ideas about doing this from the desktop? Is RAPI
the only choice?
 
RAPI isn't the only choice, but it's the easiest. Without RAPI you'll have
to write your own communications engine.
 
Robert,

As Chris said, Rapi is the way to go. If you want to control everything from
the desktop, just use Rapi to copy the file from the device to the desktop
in chunks until you're done. You won't need to do anything special on the
device for this approach.
 
Thanks for the help. I did find some RAPI examples on the web and they are
fairly easy to impliment in C#.
