ActiveSync with .NET 2.0

[Kevin Hoffman]

I remember that back in the good old days, there was a RAPI P/Invoke
wrapper floating around that people could use to communicate with the
PocketPC devices. Basically I'm writing a Compact Framework app that I
want to communicate with my desktop app. I want to know the best way to
accomplish this, and it looks like that for some unknown reason,
ActiveSync is still a completely unmanaged utility that doesn't let you
tie create synchronization conduits and such with managed code.

So - if RAPI is still the best way to exchange data between the
PocketPC and the desktop, is there a CF 2.0 wrapper for RAPI lying
around that someone can point me to, or is there a how-to on
integrating CF 2.0 code with ActiveSync?

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

You can find a managed Rapi wrapper on www.opennetcf.org in the
Desktop.Communcation section. Rapi is still what you need for exchanging
data between desktop and device unless you want to roll your own based on
sockets.

RAPI has always been a desktop-based API, so the CF version on the device is
not relevent. In fact CF isn't required at all.
