Hi!

Does someone has some experience with programming wifi data/picture transfer
from a PC to PDA? For example the picture of a wifi camera into a PDA screen.

How should I start? What sites dou you offer?

Many thanks!
 
No, that application is too specific. You might run a Web server on the
device and use the browser on the PC, maybe with a custom program on the
device to transfer the latest upload to the screen or something. FTP would
also be a protocol that could be used to perform the transfer.

Tell us what the real application is and maybe we'll have a reason to
suggest a particular way to do it...

Depends how you want to do it.

a) You can have the PDA device ping the PC at regular intervals to receive
updates.
b) You can have the device act as a server and listen on a port for push
requests from the PC.

(a) would be extremely easy to do via a web service running on the PC. For
finer control use the HttpWebRequest object and handle the protocol
yourself.

(b) would require more low level sockets programming and would require the
device to stay on. Generally, it is not a good idea to run a server on the
PDA.
