Re: WMDC developer doc badly needed...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Jean,

Microsoft support told me that all the interfaces are the same as in ActiveSync. Custom providers should work as is. A bug that causes my provider to crash on Vista (but works in XP) is calling a NULL interface pointer. Apparnetly, the call is ignored without causing a crash on Windows XP. Once I corrected this bug, my provider works.

Regards,
Herbert

Has anyone come across useful information about upgrading ActiveSync service
providers (SSP) to make them compatible with WMDC/Vista? In one single
instance, I was able to synchronize all my custom data via my service
providers (upon creating a partnership). That was on a clean Vista Premium
laptop with WMDC freshly downloded and installed (I don't know the WMDC build
back then, on Feb 2). All my data flawlessly synchronized from my PPC to that
laptop. Boy, was I happy... But that was short-lived. For some reasons, at
this moment, none of my custom data synchronizes. In fact, I experience all
sorts of issues (e.g. WMDC crashing, not synchronizing, etc) when my service
providers are activated on the device (i.e. synchronization registry entries
set). I've tried re-creating partnerships, re-downloading/re-installing WMDC,
shutting down anti-virus/firewall, using WM 2003, SE and 5.0 devices, etc.
Same exact results. All I can say at the moment is that my sync providers do
not work under Vista/WMDC, whereas they've been working fine on XP for 3+
years.

Any pointer to a WMDC service provider ref guide/doc/info/tip/help would be
immensely welcome. That's a critical issue for me (i.e. our customes) at the
moment.
