GPRS /FTP Windows mobile 5

[Xavier PACOTTE]

Hello,

We have a problem with the GPRS connexion and the FTP communications
under windows Mobile 5
We tried several possibilites :
1) With the RasDial/RasHangUp functions for the connection and InternetConnect/
InternetOpen for the FTP protocol. Sometimes we can send a file, often no.
2 ) With the Connectionmanager functions of Opennetcf (version 1.4), we can connect to Internet
but the different funtions InternetOpen.. don't work.
We cannot use the more recent version of opennetcf ( =2.0), because we work in VB.net 2003.
The first possibility works very well in Windows CE.net.
Do you have a solution or an example ?

Best regards

You can use the ConnMgrMapURL api to get the GUID for the appropriate
connection and then ConnMgrEstablishConnection to actually establish the
connection through the connection manager. This is actually quite easy to do
using PInvoke. Don't forget to call ConnmgrReleaseConnection when you are
done with the connection.

What doesn't work? what are the exceptions? any error codes?

In fact, the function for connecting to FTP server returns me automaticallly
:
- 0 for the handle and 6 for GetLastError
FTPHandle = InternetConnectW(ConnectionHandle,

strFTPServerName,

INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT, strUsername,

strPassword,

INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP,

INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE, System.UInt32.Parse("0"));


a negative handle

Win32 code 6 is "The handle is invalid". Suggest to look at your code that
create the handle. What is ConnectionHandle? looks like a property.
