Re: How to start a process on the desktop from the Pocket PC?

Ok, so nobody responded to my original post probably b/c this has been
posted several times in this group. So I did a little digging and I
found some very helpful posts (which I have used) by many people
including: Chris Tacke, Peter Foot and others.

But...I still need some help.

This is what I need to do:

1) Synchronize the CE database when they place pocket pc in the
cradle.
2) Then AFTER the databses have been synched, I want to run a desktop
application to process the data in the SQL server database.

So what I did was...

1) Use the CERunAppAtEvent on the NOTIFICATION_EVENT_RS232_DETECTED to
fire off a pocket pc application that synchronizes the CE database to
the Desktop.
2) Then I used the Registry Based Notification (AutoStartOnConnect) to
register my desktop application with active sync to be fired off when
a connection is detected.

Both of these steps worked on there own but the problem is that the
synchronization of the CE Databse takes about 30 seconds - 1 minute
and the desktop application gets fired off b/f the databases haved
synched up.

How can I fix this? Did I miss a step?

Can I fire the desktop app from my pocket pc app using:
"CreateProcess("AppName", "", IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0,
IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, si, pi)"? I tried that but it didn't work.
Do I need to register the app on the ppc?

Sorry if there is a simple solution. I am new to handhelds and using
the registry (and I guess .NET :) )
