ActiveSync Plugin in C# ?

[Martin Schuhmann]

Hi,

I have read that you can extend ActiveSync with your own plugins. But I
haven't found a tutorial or some text about how to do it.

Does anybody know where I can find a description about this? Is it
possible to write this plugins in C#?

I want to write a plugin that converts between different fileformats on
PC and PPC (like the integrated conversion between Access and Word
Documents).

thx
Martin

Hi Martin,

What you are looking for is how to create an ActiveSync Service
Provider, which must be written in native code.

A good place to start is
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../wce51conActiveSyncApplicationDevelopment.asp

There's also a two part series on developer.com that may be helpful (but
verify the APIs if you're using ActiveSync 4.1 + WM5.0):
http://www.developer.com/ws/pc/article.php/3548521
http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/10917_3554346_1

I'm going to bet that you'll be able to find additional info googling on
"ActiveSync Service Provider".
