Pocket PC to remote database

[John]

Hi

First of all, I am a complete newbie to .net.

I am wondering what would be the best way for a pocket pc to get info from a
office win2k server machine which is behind ISA server? Assuming that both
Pocket PC PDA and the office machine are somehow connected to the internet.

My guess is that it is probably best to have a "server" vb.net app at the
office win2k server that can receive request from pocket pc PDA, establish
secure connection, access whatever type of database is on the office server
and pass the information to the PDA.

Has anyone have experience in this area, who can provide some pointers on if
the above is correct and how to go about implementing it?

Thanks

Regards

This question is off topic here, you should try the Compact Framework
groups. I have created some Mobile apps, but they were all in EVB 3, sorry.
