Is it possible to run an application on a desktop server via pocket pc ?
i.e. Pocket PC(Click button) ---> Webservice ----> Desktop Server(Program run)

I'm trying to look for ways which allows me to run an application on a
server when i clicked on a button on my PPC program.

i'm using the below:
Pocket PC 2003 SDK
VB.NET 2003
MySQL
ODBC .NET Provider
WebService

Thanks.

I think the main thing is done on the server side, not the PPC side.
For example, one way to do is the script on the server side that processes
the form action can invoke an app on the server. When you use PPC IE to open
that web page that has the script and submit the form, then that app will be
called.

Or you can write a small tcp server app on the server side, and a tcp client
on the PPC. The tcp client can then connects and sends commands to the tcp
server, and the later will do whatever the former asks.

Just my $.02

Thanks Vu for your reply. I'm thinking along the line where the webservice
will have a function to call the form itself. But i just fail to relate 2
different program linking together. i.e. how am i able to allow the
webservice to link to a button in another program ? Both are different
project.

I may overlook on some points. If it's possible, can you post a sample code
which allows me to do it ?

Thanks alot... :)
