19 Feb 2004, How to access VB.net applications thr' PDA's

[Sham Yemul]

Hello,

I recently started development in Vb.net. I am about to finish a product in
VB.net Database Applicatio, Sql Server as Backend.
I read little about wireless technology and PDAs.
Is it true that one can access VB.net forms/applications running on Server,
using PDAs ?
If so please tell me where to start for this ? what is the infrastructure
investment for such projects ? What are running cost in terms of hardware
and software ? Where can I get more resources on this topics ?

Thanks in Advance.
Regards.

Sham:

You may want to check out the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework group, www.devbuzz.com
and www.opennetcf.org for further information.

Using the Compact Framework, you can do on a PDA much of what you can on the
desktop. you Can NOT use Winforms as you know them, they are different
libraries but very very similar. Since the compact framework is well,
compact, there is some missing functionality, much of it missing because it
wouldn't make sense to include it on a PDA. Support for Sockets, Web
Services and DataAcess is excellent though.

This link should help you with getting started...

you may want to check the Quickstarts

And the FAQ's
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...PInvokeLib.asp

Let me know if I can be of any furhter assistance, but if you are looking to
do CF development, let me assure you it's about as cool as it gets..
