Sending data over GPRS

Hello everyone

I'm just starting a project in C# sending data back and forth from a Pocket
PC to a desktop machine.

I'm using sockets at the minute and it seems pretty straight forward to do
this over WIFI or in a cradle via activesync but I'm struggling to find much
to help me move this to use GPRS on say an XDA II.

I'm sure it can be done but I've not seen any examples or instructions in
any books or on the web - can any of you guys point me in the right
direction? I've seen examples of "Connection Manager" but it all seems to be
C++ - can this be used in C# somehow?

Many Thanks

Matthew
 
You should look at OpenNETCF for Connection Manager I/O from your managed
code. The socket code should be identical, no matter what media is used to
make the network connection, so that part of your code shouldn't change. If
you can manually create a connection using the device's user interface and
then run your program, you're well on your way to achieving the same from
code.

If you use webservices, the http request will initiate the dialing on the
GRPS.
I do a lot of GPRS solutions and webservices are not very efficient for
GRPS, because they are so verbose. I use RemObjects from www.remobjects.com,
they have a binary version of webservices that can even be compressed - VERY
efficient!
