Client/Server Application with HP Ipaq. Need some Hints please.

[blodis]

Hi !
Thank you for your attention.
I am new to programming mobile applications.
I am thinking of making a Client/server application where the server
app will run on a desktop PC and the client on the Ipaq with pocket PC2003.
The devices will commuincate through ethernet.

Now som questions.

I am using Visual Studio 2003 .NET for development.

1. What tools and components do I need to get started developing Client/Server apps for the Ipaq ?

2. Is it possible to use a Winsock type solution or do I have to find another approach ?

3. I have searched the internet on most major VB sites for Client/Server sample codes for the pocket PC but without any luck.
Do you now where I can get it ?

I will bevery gratefull for any answer that could help me get started.

/Emil

HI,
1) You already have what you need
2) Yes - 'winsock' is the way to go
3) Look at the system.net.sockets namespace

If by client server you mean accessing a SqlServer database from the PPC, look at the SqlClient namespace
