dotnet compact framework : WinCE 4.2 Webserver?
third parties have developed solutions that enable web server hosting on WinCE. I have a mobile application that uses this type of product so that I can expose web services hosted on the device. Regards, Thomas Hall
The simple answer is yes. But...
WinCE 4.2 does not support an http server out-of-the-box. However, third parties have developed solutions that enable web server hosting on WinCE. I have a mobile application that uses this type of product so that I can expose web services hosted on the device. I've implemented these web services to enable 'push messaging' of datasets to the device. Regards, Thomas Hall
In fact, it does. Device OEMs can include the Web server when they build
the OS, or not, so it's not in every device, but it is available to them. The server that 4.2 comes with doesn't support being a Web services server... Paul T.

That's right. In fact, the Athena product from Odyssey Software that I
mentioned in the other post is built on the same technology that I use in my production application. My production app provides web service-based messaging services in both WLAN and WWAN environments (they're both IP-based so no surprise there). The underlying technology is Odyssey Software's ViaXML product. With it, you have full programmatic control over how you want to handle things. Regards, Thomas Hall
My bad, Paul. I was thinking in terms of hosting web services on the
device. Thanks for the clarification. Thomas Hall
"Web services" and a "Web server" are *not* the same thing. You can have a
Web server that will serve HTML pages, files, etc. without requiring Web services, which is a separate protocol. For what you're describing, you just need a Web server. That doesn't mean that you couldn't do the same thing with a server that also supported Web services, but just for getting and putting files, you don't need Web services. Paul T.

I was just told that a WinCE 4.2 device we have has a Web server running on
it. Is it possible to create a site on the device that will allow uploading and downloading files from and to the device using VS.Net 2003 and C#? Thanks Tom
Thanks again Thomas. So is it possible to put a web service on this using
C#. All I need to do is transfer files to and from the device over the network. Same scenario as in my post that you responded to earlier.

Apparently the Symbol MC3000 has a web server I will look into more later
but if I can create a WS and put it on the device then I should be able to create a Desktop app that transfers files.

Ok sorry now I am lost. It can or cannot run a web service that a desktop
can call. To move files to and from the device.

Ok so I do I get started developing for this. Could you provide a starting
point.

There is no need to develop a Web Server, maybe it would be better to
consider alternative solutions for file transferring? http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework/msg/7565091fccd244a4?hl=en& -- Sergey Bogdanov [.NET CF MVP, MCSD] http://www.sergeybogdanov.com [quoted text, click to view] Tom Libby wrote:

The httpd server on WinCE.NET doesn't support ASP.NET, but it does support old style ASP. -- Alex Yakhnin, .NET CF MVP www.intelliprog.com | www.opennetcf.org [quoted text, click to view] "Tom Libby" <tlibby@bigblue-usaNOSPAMNOVIRUS.com> wrote in message news:Oku6GUQ0FHA.3904@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Thanks again Thomas.

Not true. CE 4.2 does offer a web server out of the box. The target
platform may not have it, buit it's there, along with telpnet and FTP. It is an ASP3.0 server, not ASP.NET though. -Chris [quoted text, click to view] "Thomas Hall" <thall@northstate.net> wrote in message news:1129324172.020999.213020@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > WinCE 4.2 does not support an http server out-of-the-box.
