Thanks Chris...this is the first time I have used anything from the
OpenNETCF and I am IMPRESSED...my thanks to those souls who put this code
out there!!!!

The routines work perfectly, but I have to admit that the documentation
leaves something to be desired wrt examples. Still, I suppose if you are
using this stuff, it is assumed you have at least some clue as to what you
are doing.

I can get everything I need but one last question.

I am trying to implement a routine to handle the RAPIDisconnected event so I
can stop my 'synching' routine if the user disconnects the Pocket Pc during
the processing. I am struggling as to how to define the routine that traps
the RAPIDisconnected event.

Do I need to do an 'addhandler' or is there some way for me to do something
like

Private Sub DeviceDisconnected() Handles myRAPI.RAPIDisconnected

end Sub
