Sending data via the IrDa Port

Hi all,

I am writing a small app that needs to send a serial string out of the
infra red port, the app does not need to look for a response hence no
need for a recieve routine. The data that I need to send is simple plain
ascii characters ie: the string "12456" padded with ASCII Start of
Header (1 hex) at the start of the data and ASCII End of Text at the end
of the data.

Has anyone done this before, and if so has anyone got a code sample I
could look at or maybe a goo hyperlink.


Many thanks

Joe

Douglas Bowling's book "Programming Windows CE" is a good starting
point. He has an example program CECHAT that demonstrates how to find
the IR port and how to send and receive. You may find the CECHAT with
source on the net somewhere, but the book is worth the investment.
