Downloading to Mobile device from an Mobile ASP.net app

[Guest]

Hi,

is there any info on downloading a cab file to a PocketPC from an mobile
ASP.net app?

i can download files to the PocketPC using a smart device application using
microsoft's Auto Updater example - and understand how this works - but ill
like to take it a step further and have a little mobile asp.net application
that the pocketpc browses to, and then this downloads the auto updater
application to the pocketpc

my problem is i'm unsure how the asp.net app determines which pocketpc to
download to, and gains access to the directory

i've even tried hardcoding the IP address into the mobile asp.net app to see
if i can get it to download to the pocketpc but still no luck.

any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Craig

ASP.NET mobile or not as any web application it's limited to what is allowed
to do in the browser. You can download the CAB file from a web page only by
providing a download link or executing some javascript that'd call the
appropriate url. After that it's the browser's responsibility to popup the
message about doenload location or download in the default location.
