a) Yes
b) Might be easier to use something like an HTTP GET

Is it possible using NETcf 1.0:

a) To consume a remote webservice?
b) To invoke a webservice method wich returns a WebFile datatype?

What I want to do is to connect to a remote webservice, invoke a method
to check if there is a new version of my PPC app and, if so, invoke
another method in the webservice to retrieve the new file.

If this is not possible, how should be the best approach to perform
these tasks?

Thanks for your answer Chris. I indeed considered HTTP GET as my first
option, followed by FTP protocol, but I think that using a WebService
may be an elegant solution.
