wi-fi codes(urgent)

[Guest]

Hi, I would like to know on how to program my pocket pc for wireless networking using wi-fi. I'm using Visual Basic as my programming software. How do i program it into my pocket pc? Is there a need for me to use ad-hoc? If yes, how do i do it?

Thanks.

Normally, use of WiFi has nothing to do with your application code. You
simply configure your device to use the WiFi connection (this is done when
you add the device and start the associated device driver). Your device is
now connected to your network just the as if you had a wired network
connection. In your application you treat a WiFi connection just like any
other network connection. Advanced programming is possible, but I suspect
that this is not an area that will concern you initially.

Generally, you would use an Access Point as part of the system, because an
add-hoc network connection is quite limited.

If you have questions about how to configure your WiFi network, you should
post them in the public.pocketpc.wireless newsgroup.

As Dick indicated, it sounds as though someone dropped a note on your desk,
"Use WiFi" or something like that and you know absolutely nothing about it.
What, specifically, do you need to do, ignoring the network connectivity
method for now? What does the program that you must write do? With what
other devices does it communicate? Using what protocol? Something you came
up with yourselves or a standard, like FTP or HTTP?
