Hi all

I'm trying to find examples of way so have 2-way communication between
the PDA and the desktop.
I thought I was into a winner when I tried to make use of the examples
from Microsofts' .Net Compact Framwork Core Reference book, but the
Netstream code was written for WinCE (PPC2002 here) and I can't get it
to work even after replacing console calls with dumping stuff to a text box

(error is generated:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in
System.dll

Additional information: Unable to read data from the transport connection.
)

Was wondering if anyone has any pointers.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads-up - I'm not a C# man, but it looks interesting so
will give it a shot.

Hmmm.

Took a look, and got very lost. This I found an article called
"Creating a Multi-User TCP Chat Application" for VB.
Down side of course was that it was designed for desktop only and it's
doing lost of hairy things like invoking methods from different threads
(which apparently you can only do if it's an event handler or something)
at which point I resumed my lost state.

Damn shame that something as supposedly basic as simple communication
between PDA and desktop has become so convoluted that I sit here
dreaming of better days with VB6s' winsock control.

If anyone is able to give a hand I'd gladly post the code I'm working
with (not mine) - until then I think I'm going to have to teach my PDA
semamphore...
