This code sample is named SocketApp. It demonstrates the use of Windows Sockets to communicate with a mobile device. First, SocketApp uses Remote API (RAPI) interfaces to get the mobile device's IP address through ActiveSync. Second, SocketApp sends a "hello" string to the mobile device, and then listens for the mobile device to respond.

C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Activesync\Inc
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Activesync\Lib

Requirements

Pocket PC SDK: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.
