Hi, everyone.

I'm working on a project where I'd like to open a network connection between
a dotNET desktop app and a dotNET CF app. Can someone point out some free
online resources for getting started in network programming? Specifically
opening sockets and sending information back and forth. Also, any good books
you'd recommend on the subject?

Also, I'm in need of a quick introduction to thread programming, since I'll
need to update a UI from different threads.

Thanks. =)

Hi,

I found the following quite useful:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...432847-2663805

and if you can stomach a book clearly written for Computer Science
students...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...432847-2663805

As for updating the UI from non-GUI threads there's really not much to worry
about there, just remember that the CF only supports delegates of type
EventHandler:

EDIT:

CF Control.Invoke only supports delegates of type EventHandler

Thanks for the book suggestion. The first book looks like it will cover my
needs nicely. I couldn't get the second link to work, but there were a couple
of suggestions on the page for the first book that looked interesting as well.

I'm not certain I totally understand the threading article, but the code is
easy enough to follow. I'll give it a try. =)
