Hello everyone!

One of my clients wants to use VPN-connections on their handhelds. We
have tried this and it seems to work fine except for one thing: When
using our application, that is written using .NET CF, the VPN does not
automatically connect, but if we use Internet Explorer, Terminal
Services Client or any other networking application, the VPN-connection
is automatically connected. This means that whenever the handheld is
suspended the user has to connect the VPN-connection manually in order
for our application to find the server. How can I make our application
connect automatically?

Regards,
Anders
 
Is there nobody out there who uses VPN-connected devices together with
your own socket-connected .NET CF-programs?

These lines makes it for me .... but it is not the nice way doing it ... i am looking for a other solution but could not find it on the net, perhaps someone here can help ? Going thru the Connection Manager API could be a way, but i didn't try it for now ..

myHttpWebRequest1.Method = "HEAD"
Dim myHttpWebResponse As Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(myHttpWebRequest1.GetResponse(), Net.HttpWebResponse)
myHttpWebResponse.Close()
