Event when the device is in the cradle

[Luca Vajani]

Hi guy how I can be notified when the device is put in the cradle?
OR how can I know if it's connected to the Lan or ti Internet?

Thanks in advance

Hi Luca,

There is an article titled "Testing for and Responding to Network
Connections" on MSDN.
Here is a link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/NetworkComponent.asp

It also comes with sample code that you could leverage.

Take care,
Tom

Hei Tom, I've noticed something in your discussion on Devbuzz..
So, I think to change the url of the webservice if I'm connecting via
Lan or via Internet.
Image that I can access my webservice from the office (LAN ip address)
or from my home via gprs ( public ip address).

How the device knows what's thre url to use?
Simply testing the Device IP Address.
So, if I'm at home, I test the Ip address and I see that is 127.0.0.1.
OK, I'm not connected to the lan. Call webservice via gprs.
So, I call my webservice again BUT....now my ipaddress isn't 127.0.0.1
anymore, because The gprs connection has assgined me another
ipaddress.
Knowing that Gprs connection seems to remain always open (also using
opennetcf connectionmanager), teh device thinks to be connecetd via
lan but it isn't true.
And this happens till the gprs session is up....

The only way to be sure is to be notified by activesync ( if the
device is in the cradle but activesync is turned off the device can't
connect to the lan).

Thats right.
BUT

The device can have a wifi connection...I need to know where wifi card
receive signal and connect to the lan.

Do you think some other way?

As a sidebar, if you're calling a Web service, you don't need to use
Connection Manager. The Web service stack will handle the GPRS connection
for you.
