Anyone have experience with programming for PocketPCs and/or ASP/PHP?

Update #1
Well I got the file-reading thing working. Now I gotta think of a way to update a website.

I was thinking of using xml. Send the individual lines as XML tags to the webserver, and let the webserver parse that data and show it on a website.

Only problem is I'm not sure how to do that. Would I send the data to a PHP or ASP page on the webserver and let that do the parsing??

Anyone have example code on the server-side?

Thanks.



Original Post
I'm supposed to read data from a text file on a pocket pc and upload that data to a website.

Now I don't have much experience with Pocket PCs so this is all new to me. I'm using Visual Studio.NET and the Pocket PC 2003 SDK with the emulator.

I googled for sites with tutorials on programming for Pocket PCs but I couldn't find a site that would list all the functions and libraries that I can refer to. I pretty much want to figure out how to read data from a file in a Pocket PC and upload that data to a webserver.

I'm thinking of using PHP or ASP on the server.

So my quesiton is, could any of you point me in the right direction??

Thanks.

here maybe?

Reading from a file is easy (WinCE supports most of the Win32 SDK). To upload to a server, you should be able to just open a socket & write to it (you'll need to know what port to send the data to) - it's not much different than if you were doing it on a regular PC under WinXP or Win2k.

I've been to that site already, but thanks for posting it.

Well here's the problem with reading the file, how do I specify it's location? As far as I know, Pocket PC's don't have a concept of "drives" the way Window PCs do.

And also the Pocket PC emulator is SLOW as hell. I never thought it would require that much processing power to emulate a Pocket PC.
