Set system clock on Pocket PC

Can someone tell me how one can set system clock
programmatically on Pocket PC? Is there anyway to sync
clock between desktop and Pocket PC through ActiveSync?

I have a client/server application that the client runs on
PocketPC and the server runs on Windows 2000 Server. The
system clock on PocketPC appears to draft. I need to sync
the clock on the PocketPC with the clock on the server.

Any help would be appreciated. The program is written in
C# under VS.NET

The OpenNETCF libraries have wrappers for setting the system and local time.

www.opennetcf.org/winapi.asp

ActiveSync I believe syncs the PC and PPC clock automatically on connection
by default.

I'm not sure about the clock synchronization question; sorry. You can
P/Invoke SetSystemTime() or SetLocalTime() to set the clock to a given time,
though. OpenNetCF.org's library has the necessary declaration, etc. to do
this in the DateTimeEx class.

There is a Time sample in the P/Invoke Library.
