Hi,

Please provide me the code to find out programmatically if the PocketPC
device is cradled.

Thanks!!
 
Hi Paul,

I wanted to find from the device.
I'm thinking of using the following code.

System.Net.IPHostEntry IPHost = Dns.GetHostByName(HostName);
string DeviceIP = IPHost.AddressList[0].ToString();
if(DeviceIP != IPAddress.Parse(IPAddressString).ToString())
{//cradled}

I still have to check if that works.

Thanks!!
 
That code will just confirm whether a network is present or not.

Are you trying to determine whether you are connected via ActiveSync?

There's no absolutely correct answer. Here are a few notes from the
archives of this newsgroup, which you can search with GoogleGroups:

I'd probably just check to see if any network adapter had the right IP
address.
