Re: Newbie question...

I've written quite a few Client/Server applications using Winsock, so I'm conversant with its ins and outs.

When you say Winsock is the way to go, does this mean the WM device has an IP address which I can talk to just like an IP address on any PC?

I guess using Winsock (Windows Sockets) is the way to go.

For a start, look at

1. http://www.microsoft.com/msj/archive/S28F.aspx which explains
implementation of a winsock sample in VB (its quite old article).

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

Thanks for your reply, the problem is, I need to notify the mobile device of
events / warnings (over voltage for example) and I'm not sure the server could
'push' these events to the mobile, or could it?
