.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / January 2006Webservice can not be accessed
Hi everyone, I have written an app which connects to a web service. I try to debug it in the emulator for Pocket PC 2003 SE in Visual Studio 2005. In order to setup the connection between the host pc and the emulator I follow the instructions on this web page: http://blogs.msdn.com/akhune/archive/2005/11/16/493329.aspx After doing that I can access web sites in the Internet Explorer of my Emulator (e.g. www.microsoft.com) but I can not access sites in my intranet (e.g. http:\\Computer1\ServiceName\Service.asmx). The only way to get access to this intranet sites is by switching to the File Explorer and open a shared folder on my host pc. After logging in I have full access to all my intranet sites. I have enabled anonymous access to my IIS directory. > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > sites. > I have enabled anonymous access to my IIS directory. Can you access "http:\\Computer1\ServiceName\Service.asmx" in Pocket Internet Explorer? Have you tried substituting the IP of server instead of the host name? (there may be a DNS resolution issue) Alternatively, you may wish to leverage a solution like Pocket Hosts to define that host to your PPC: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/pockethosts.shtml -- Nino Benvenuti http://nino.net/blog > > Hi everyone, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Can you access "http:\\Computer1\ServiceName\Service.asmx" in Pocket > Internet Explorer? No I can not access this site.

How are you going to connect to the desktop, ActiveSync, Wi-Fi etc? >> > Hi everyone, >> > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > into > an ip address? I connect via ActiveSync with DMA. I use exactly the same settings as specified on this web page ( http://blogs.msdn.com/akhune/archive/2005/11/16/493329.aspx). Thank you, Pan Firstly, what you could do if you have a dynamic IP address, is to read the Windows CE registry from: "Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners" to get the ActiveSync host name (name of machine). Then convert this to an IP address using IPHostEntry class. This is much better regardless if you have DNS problems as it makes your code less reliance on DNS. Second, if running a firewall on your server machine running the web service, ensure port 80 (or whatever port your web server is using is open). >I connect via ActiveSync with DMA.

I used the Windows CE Remote Registry to read out the value but I just find a NetworkGUID with a value under this registry path. Is this the value I have to read out (I would expect something like "ComputerName1"). Sorry, maybe I did not understand your answer completely. To correct my answer that I am using ActiveSync. I wrote an app for an symbol scanner. Now I want to write a emulator version of this app, so that I can debug the app when I do not have a symbol scanner. Now I have to use the emulator. Normally this app would use wi-fi, but for the emulator version I have to use DMA, because it is recommended (or is this wrong?). > Firstly, what you could do if you have a dynamic IP address, is to read the > Windows CE registry from: "Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners" [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Thank you, > > Pan There should be a int value "PCur" which will obtain you the current partner setting. From that you need to read the key: "Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\P1" value PName where "P1" is the result from PCur. PName will by a byte [] unicode encoded, so you will need to convert the byte array to a string using class UnicodeEncoding. > There is no value in this key.

I did this and i can read out the correct ip, but I do still not get a connection to the webservice. I guess it is not a dns problem, or am I wrong? > There should be a int value "PCur" which will obtain you the current partner > setting.

It won't be a DNS problem now as you are converted the host to an IP using IPHostEntry didn't you? Can you post the WebException that you are getting. > Thanks for your answer. > I did this and i can read out the correct ip, but I do still not get a [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] >> >> > Thank you, >> >> > Pan It won't be a DNS problem now as you are converted the host to an IP using IPHostEntry didn't you? ->yes I did convert it.
