Re: Newbie question...

If you are not particular to writing a new WM application, I would
suggest using inbuilt Pocket Internet Explorer to browse your PC which
could run a webserver (IIS, Apache). Write server side scripts (ASP,
PHP etc) and access them through a URL from the WM device.

Advantage is that you don't need to worry about writing code in client
to connect to the server, avoid writing server application, and issue
of handling multiple sessions.

Of course you need to make sure that the server IP is available to the
device. This problem will be there for any other solution too.

I have a PC application that retrieves data from a set of scientific instruments
(voltage levels mainly). This data is stored on the PC.

I want to be able to display these levels on a WM device with variable update
rates ranging from once every 10 seconds (when the instruments come online) to
once a minute/hour (once the system has settled)

I have a WM6 device (HTC), Broadband, VS2005 and a wealth of DOS and
VB6(Classic) programming experience. I also am starting to find my way around VB.NET

Can some please point me to a place where I can get started with developing an
application for a WM device which could solve this problem

Cheers in advance
