Setting Active Sync settings from code (C#)

[patrik.loren]

Hi, I need to be able to set upp a phone (both Windows Mobile 6 &
Windows Mobile 6 Professional) with specific settings for Active Sync.
I need to do this with C#.
The settings I need to set are:
Exchange server
Domain
SSL-connection
Scheduling of sync (both setting up times and sync interavalls)
SyncWhenRoaming (Found this in a good place in registry)
Which parts to sync:contacts, agenda (timespann), mail (timespann,
messageformat, size), tasks

I know some of these things are in the registry but have maybe
different keys on different phones, i need a good way of doing
this...Is it possible to connect to an activesync-object to set these
things...???

regards
Patrik Loren

You need to use the Sync service provider:-

From managed code you would use ConfigurationManager.ProcessConfiguration
with an XML document containing the settings. The link above describes the
service provider and has a few examples.

Hi Peter! Thank's for the link!

I've looked into these xml-configurations... Having some
securityproblems I guess...
After I've run the .cpf I get an sms telling me that is failed and not
authorized...

Should i use registry enries for some to reduse risk of security
issues...
The xml I try to config with is this:
