Hi

First of all, I am a complete newbie to .net.

I am wondering what would be the best way for a pocket pc to get info from a
office win2k server machine which is behind ISA server? Assuming that both
Pocket PC PDA and the office machine are somehow connected to the internet.

My guess is that it is probably best to have a "server" .net app at the
office win2k server that can receive request from pocket pc PDA, establish
secure connection, access whatever type of database is on the office server
and pass the information to the PDA.

Has anyone have experience in this area, who can provide some pointers on if
the above is correct and how to go about implementing it?

Thanks

Regards

I've done some experiments with the Pocket PC and the best approach seems to
be to use replication. You can put SQL Server (standard edition or better)
on the office machine and SQL Server (Pocket PC version) on the PDA and
setup a replication between the two.
