How to use TCP/IP Sockets with a WLAN (PCMCIA Card)

[thelazycatms]

Hi,

how can a use a TCP/IP Listener within a compact framework application, when
connected to a WLAN. In the compact framework there is the assembly
System.Net.IrDA, which has a listener object included, but when connected to
a WLAN via a pcmcia card, do I have to use the same .NET Class Library?

Thanks for help

Have you tried just setting up a TcpListener in the same way you would
in the desktop framework? That should work fine, I'd imagine.

Hi,

You would use the System.Net.Sockets namespace (and, probably, the TcpClient
and/or TcpListener classes).
