How can I start and close GPRS connect

[Guest sp]

Hi there,

I would like to write a program for data socket with GPRS connection.

My smartphone, Dopod 585, is as the client and PC is the server.

To deliver string from smartphone and show it on PC is my current task.

However, I can do that via USB connection but failed in GPRS.

It seems to mean that both programs in client and server are correct but something wrong in GPRS connection.

Maybe I need to write a program in C# to start GPRS connection.

However I could not get any information about GPRS connection in the MSDN for C#.

Would you please do me a favor to give a example program or tell me what function or structure could accomplish GPRS connection? Thanks for your kindly assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Kuan-chu

Try this code to force the gprs to connect

Public Function IsConnectionAvailable() As Boolean

        ' Returns True if connection is available 

        ' Replace www.google.com with a site that is guaranteed to be online 

        Dim objUrl As New System.Uri("http://www.google.com/")

        ' Setup WebRequest 

        Dim objWebReq As System.Net.WebRequest

        objWebReq = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(objUrl)

        Dim objResp As System.Net.WebResponse

        Try ' Attempt to get response and return True 

            objResp = objWebReq.GetResponse

            objResp.Close()

            objWebReq = Nothing

            Return True

        Catch ex As Exception ' Error, exit and return False 

            objWebReq = Nothing

            Return False

        End Try

    End Function

if this works for you can you post your tcp socket code as I'm having prolems with mine
