SmartPhone 2003, ActiveSync and C#

[Guest Kryptonic]

Hi all,

is it possible, at runtime in a c# .net application running on a mobile device (2003) to check the state of the activesync connection (on the mobile device remember) and if there is no connection attempt to connect it up?

cheers

think you can do this on AS 4.0 or higher with the API's/SDK

I've got this code from somewere:

It's a function which returns true if Active Sync is connected. The function simply checks whether the Dns.GetHostEntry("PPP_PEER") not is equal to null and not will throw any exeptions, then the AS is connected.

public bool ActiveSyncConnected()

        {

            bool result = false;

                    try

                    {

                        if (Dns.GetHostEntry("PPP_PEER") != null)

                        {

                            result = true;

                        }

                    }

                    catch { }


            return result;

        }

that really isnt the correct way of doing it. there maybe another dns hostname as that and not being the mobile device ;)
