Hello,

I am using 3 options to sync the windows mobile device with that of a
custom server. I am using the following options.

1. Sync with help of Yahoo free time web service
2. Sync with help of TCP/IP Listener
3. Sync with help of Web service
4. Sync with Help HTTP Request and Response

1. Sync with Help of Yahoo free time web service

. Using this web service to get time from Yahoo server, the returned time
will be yahoo server time. After getting time application will update in
pocket PC.

2. Sync with Help of TCP/IP Listener
. TCP/IP Listener will be running in any PC and Listening for DateTime
Request from another machine.
. After getting the request Listener will return DateTime and TimeZone
. The Requesting machine (PPC) will update Date and Time
. Only problem is unable to update TimeZone using C#.Net in PPC

This is the default method that I plan to use for my application since the
listener will be residing on the server where the data will be
pulled/pushed.


3. Sync with Help of Yahoo free time web service
. Our Own TimeSync web service will be hosted with any database server or
any server
. The service will return DateTime and TimeZone of the Hosted Server
. PPC time Sync application will get this details and update local date and
time
. Only problem is unable to update TimeZone using C#.Net in PPC

4. Sync with help of HTTP request and response
. Get Hostname, user id, password and proxy details from user
. Send Http request to the given host
. Get date from Response header and update in PPC

My query is how to sync the devices' time zone with that of the server. Any
suggestions. Syncing only the date and time isn't enough.

Thanks,

M. Rajesh
