Connection to Internet on Pocket PC Phone Edition

[Bob Trabucco]

My VB.NET Compact Framework Pocket PC app uses the TcpClient class to
communicate over the internet with a server I wrote.

Works great when the device is in a cradle
Works great on a PocketPC device with a wireless internet card

It DOESN'T work on a Pocket PC Phone edition device unless I fire up
internet explorer and make a quick switch to my app and then initiate
communication.

I figure that means I need to use the connection manager stuff in the
cellcore.dll.

Anybody have a good VB.NET CF class that will help me or do I need to
convert some of the C++/C# stuff which is the only thing I can find??

Thanks in advance!

Bob

The ConnectionManager class is a part of OpenNETCF SDF. If you don't want to
use the library, you can pull the appropriate source file from it.
