HWT: open a connection to the internet?

[Mario Enriquez]

Hi,

Does anybody has an idea of how to open a connection to the internet using
CF. I've come
across and example of how to this with MFC using eVC++, however I'm not
familiar with VC++, and
I was wondering if somebody has alread comeup with a solution?

My application requires the user to transmit some data (xml) to a
webservice, every
4hrs or so. Since the user will be on the road the transmision would be
through a cel phone connected
to the IPAQ. What I want to do is to place a button that reads "Send
Data..." and when the user presses that button, the program would establish
a connection to the internet, send the data and close the connection.

Is there any component available for CF that help me to achieve this?

thanks for your help,
Mario
