Establish Data/GPRS Connection Automatically
in [Compact Framework]

From: "Boomer24" boomer24 at floridus spam sucks dot on 15 Sep 2008 11:50 Hi everyone, I am working on an application that runs on the Symbol/Motorola MC75. This unit has the ability to connect to the Internet via cellular network. When I open Internet Explorer it established a GPRS or EVDO (depending on the unit) connection if one is not already active. How can I get my app to establish a connection when it needs it if one is not already active? Thanks, Boomer24

From: "Boomer24" boomer24 at floridus spam sucks dot on 15 Sep 2008 12:19 Is there anyway to do this in eVB? I am porting my application to .NET CF but for the moment if I can make this change to my app in it's existing form then this would save me from instructing my users to first open IE and navigate to google.com.

From: Chris Tacke, eMVP on 15 Sep 2008 12:34 From eVB? I've not looked at eVB in a long, long, long time. But since you can call Win32 APIs in eVB, and the ConnectionManager stuff is exposed as an API, it can definitely be called. ConnMgr came out some time after eVB was OELed so you're almost certain to have to wrap the calls youself as I doubt anyone has done the work, let alone published it anywhere. -- Chris Tacke, Embedded MVP OpenNETCF Consulting Giving back to the embedded community http://community.OpenNETCF.com "Boomer24" <boomer24 at floridus spam sucks dot com> wrote in message news:uowzQ70FJHA.4864(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Is there anyway to do this in eVB?

I have not used eVB for a very long time so can't give you specifics. The API you would probably want to access is ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync (documented on MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416346.aspx). It is present within a DLL called cellcore.dll. There is a good example of how to use this API from C# available on Anthony Wong's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/anthonywong/archive/2006/03/13/550686.aspx which might give you a something to try to convert into eVB. Alternativly you may like to try to execute a small utility executable (\windows\rnaapp.exe) to establish your connection. A thread titled "How to dial a RAS entry from VB?" within the microsoft.public.vb.vbce newsgroup (available via Google Groups at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vb.vbce/browse_thread/thread/53642d11a027816c/f367cb05bf4797e7) may be a good place to start. Hope this helps, Christopher Fairbairn
