A few weeks ago we realised a handheld application (Windows CE 3.0,

programmed with C#) and a PC-application (Windows XP, programmed

with C++), the data exchange between both applications is made over

the serial port and Microsoft ActiveSync. This data exchange is always

controlled by the PC.

Now we are searching for a C++ (VC++, MFC) component which enables

us a serial communication WITHOUT Microsoft ActiveSync.
 
Well the serial classes in OpenNETCF's SDF will do serial comms, but there's
a huge difference between being able to put serial data on a bus and
transferring data between two applications. Are you looking for something
that will automagically receive the data ont he other end and do something
in particular with it, or will you be writing that piece as well?

If your looking for some general low-level source code on how to
transfer files to and from a PocketPC without ActiveSync, check out the
SynCE project. It's designed for Linux, but the source code is
available and you should be able to modify it to suit your purposes. I
believe the source is GPL, so your derived application would be too.

You could work with the developers to make a windows port to create an
alternative to ActiveSync for basic functions. Then build your
application around that.
