First, look at the thread # 988365 message # 988488 for some ideas on how to use .NET to copy files.

Now to answer your question. All transfers of files from PPC to PC or back is done by application on PC (VFP application). Why do you want Pocket PC to transfer the file(s)?

>Dmitry,
>Is the transfer of XML files between PC and PPC initiated from the PC or the PPC? (Who (PC or PPC) transfers the files?)
>I would like the PPC app to put a file on the PC.

>>I am actually sending XML files to Pocket PC and from Pocket PC using VFP 8 application, not .NET. The Pocket PC application is written in C#.NET though. And to copy a file from Desktop to a Pocket PC folder, again using VFP application, I use API calls described in a document on the site to which I provided the link. I really don't know if these API calls can be made from .NET apps.

>>>Dmitry,
>>>Thank you for the information.
>>>Here is the situation as I explain it to the PPC developer.
>>>I want him to put an XML file in a predefined directory on the PC(or maybe find the directory in the PC registry or in a PC ini file).
>>>Once the file is on the PC my app will parse the file.
>>>
>>>The PPC developer is new to .NET and he is having some problems putting a file on the PC while the PPC is connected through activesync. I would like him to use native .NET code and not call a COM object. Are you using COM objects (that is what it appeard to be on the link you sent me).

>>>>I am happy to share the information. Yes, the information between Pocket PC and PC, back and forth, is done with XML files. The program puts the files in the actual folders where they are needed.
>>>>Site www.news2news.com has Win32 API class that works very well on sending files, checking for folders, creating folders, etc. One option was to use ActiveSync synchronization to send the files but I wanted to have more control as to when and where the files will be copied.
