ActiveSync sample

Xpost, f'up to microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer

Greetings,
I wrote a GPS application for a PDA device. Now I want to create a PC
program for easier editing routes and waypoints. At the moment these
are MFC objects, but I'd like to automatically sync them with the PC.
The only sample I found is called StockPor but I don't get it compiled
using VS 2008. Many headerfiles are missing, which seems to be the
reason for a whoe bunch of following errors. Also the sample seems to
be rather outdated. Will it work with XP and Vista? It would be great
if someone can point me out.

My installed SDKs:
-------------------
Pocket PC 2003
Smartphone 2003
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK

TIA,
Hans

An answer to this question I found myself:
The binary installation which came with StockPor doesn't work on Vista. "The
connected device type isn't supported". It's a Dell Axim running
WindowsMobile 2003. Next question: How to fix that?

TIA,
Hans

You may need to reproduce the code in a Microsoft program. There are some
free ones out there, if you can't afford Visual Studio: eMbedded VC and
eMbedded VB.

RAPI lets desktop applications manipulate files and other data on an
attached Windows CE/Windows Mobile device. For more info, see
CeRapiInit and relatives (and note the subtle but important difference
between CeRapiInit and CeRapiInitEx).

I have VS2005 on one computer and VS2008 on another but the StockPor
sample is incomatible to both. Beginning with about 100 error messages
due to missing header files and ending with support for outdated
processors but no ARMV4. It seems to be a tough job to get that sample
to work with modern VS. I've used eMbedded VC in the past but don't
want to move back to that. I'm looking for some up to date (Windows
Mobile 2003 support) reference manual and some sample code to sync
custom objects but can't find any.

Right now I'm here
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa458014.aspx

Unfortunately there is no printable document or sample code.

regards,
Hans

How odd, StockPor compiles just fine (after adding the ActiveSync
include directory to the list of include directories) in both VS 2005
and 2008 for me. I'm using the WM6 SDK.

And the device side bits compiled into a normal ARMV4 app.

If you are still interested ind compiling the StockPor example in Vs2005, I
can help you check for any configuration in my project, I could compile all
de projects in the solution for the stockPor sample, for Windows Mobile 6.0
(the one Im interested in).

I could complied for the Proffesional an Standard platform, but, I donâ??t
know why! When I deploy for the standard platform.. I cant make the sample
appear in the ActiveSunc Window! Frustraiting!!!! when for the proffesional
platform works just fine!

Im using Vs2005,WIndows XP, and the emulator images from Wm60 sdk...


Are you using the sample in the folder â??C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6
SDK\Activesync\activesync stock portfolio sampleâ?? ???
