Communicating Through IR Port

I am developing an application in c# for pocket pc's which comminucates with a mobile phone through the IR port. But there aren't any help on how to communicate with a mobile phone through the IR port. I found a sample application provided by Microsoft which enables communication between 2 pocket pc's through the IR port. But it dosen't work with a mobile phone. What i want to do is send a message to the mobile phone through the IR port, wait for the reply and receive the reply. Where can i find some sample code for this?

It is no different from a serial port. Just identify the serial port
correctly and use standard serial communication techniques. May be it fails
because of wrong parameters.

This might sound stupid - have you aligned IR sources? Can you discover the
mobile phone?

I tried to use the above method that you have suggested.
But the problem is the lack of support in c# accessing the
serial port of the pocket pc. When using Embedded VB we
can use the Windows CE comm control to communicate with
the serial port. but in C# there are no libraries provided
for this task (i couldn't find any). if there is a way to
access the serial port of a pocket pc in c# that's the
thing i want.
