Using ActiveSync to start a program

[Joel Zinn]

I have a process where I want to have SQL Server CE Merge Replication run
when the PPC device is cradled or connects via wireless. Can Active sync
start a program that can start the replication?

Hi Joel,

You can use Registry-Based notification of the ActiveSync on the desktop.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceactsy/ht
ml/ceconRegistry-BasedNotification.asp

When your desktop application is launched by ActiveSync due to a device
connection, you can call CeCreateProcess or CeRapiInvoke to function to
execute a code on the device.

CeCreateProcess launches an application on the device.

CeRapiInvoke loads a native DLL on the device and call the specified
function of the DLL.

Thanks
