    pocket PC connecting to published web service

    Hello,

    VS 2005 SQL Server 2005

    I have a pocket PC application and have a web service. The pocket PC will connect to the web service and the web service will get the information from the database. This works fine when using the emulator and running from the local host.

    Later I will have to deploy the web service and install the solftware on the Pocket PC.

    My question is once that has been done, how will the Pocket PC talk to the web service on the internet so that people using the PDA can download there data?

    Is it a question of using connecting PDA to the internet and the web reference URL will connect to the web service.

    Getting the data from the database is not a problem, only the Pocket PC to the web service.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Steve

    To access your web service all you need is for the pocket pc to have an internet connection. That all depends on what components the pocket pc has.

    1. Wifi - Has the Pocket PC got a wireless card that can connect to WIFI networks
    2. GPRS - Has the Pocket PC got a sim card....
    3. Bluetooth connected to your mobile phone
    4. When its docked in the cradle
