does OpenNETCF have a function that tells if active sync has a connection to my PC?

Hello All,

does OpenNETCF smart framework have a function that tells if active sync has
a connection to my PC?

No, but you can check if Dns class can resolve PPP_PEER hostname. If so, the
device is in activesync session

Just check that Dns.GetHostByName("PPP_PEER") returns a non-null value and
does not throw an exception.

also,.. if you have a connection with active sync, your pc will act as
192.168.55.100 and your ppc will respond to 192.168.55.101. This is only
valid between your pc and ppc.

Yes, but that's configurable and can be changed. Also if the 192.168.55.0
subnet is in use, ActiveSync will choose a diferent address
