I need to establish simple wireless connection from Handheld application and
by clicking on a button open a web site.
I'm using:
[SerializableAttribute]
public class HttpWebRequest : WebRequest
{
HttpWebRequest request =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com/");
}
This code gives me an error: InvalidCastException
 
Because you are defining your own class called HttpWebRequest when that
already exists in the base class library, even if they both derive from
WebRequest you can't cast between them. Explain in more detail what you are
trying to achieve and we can suggest a code sample. For example do you want
to retrieve just the raw data from a site, display it within your
application in a WebBrowser control or launch internet explorer with a
specific addres...

I need to launch internet explorer with an address like:
http://0.00.000.00:8080/Enforcement
where users can see working web application with data and buttons on the
form.

Thank you.
