Functionality of the compact framework

[Andrew Mercer]

Hi,

I have an application that runs local to clients desk tops which I
would like to install on their new mobile phones running Windows
mobile.

It down loads data and populates bookmarks in MS Word using the
..Net Programmability in Office 2003 or downloads an actual MS Word
doument

It also uploads these files back to the server using a bespoke zip program
that uses a dll in the assembly folder.

Is any or all of this possible with .Net compact framework etc...

Thanks for you help

Regards Andrew Mercer

There is no Word automation library for the Compact Framework, so the only
way to do it would be to write the code that actually parses the file
handles the bookmarks. Not sure if how that works is at all documented.

I'd, say pretty much, no. Word Mobile is not Word. It will probably allow
you to view the Word document, but there's no automation interface to Pocket
Word. I'm not sure how you'd extract any bookmarks, if that's the primary
operation (Word Mobile doesn't have bookmarks as far as I can tell). The
ZIP program DLL will not work on Windows Mobile (no desktop-targeted
assembly will work there, although mobile-targeted assemblies will run on
the desktop). Uploading and downloading shouldn't be any problem, but
that's about the only part of what you've described that seems likely to be
'easy'.
