Windows CE ActiveSync

Well, over the past couple of weeks I have been tinkering on and off with the Windows CE devices again. Of particular interest has been integration into the ActiveSync process. The only sample application that is provided by MS is called StockPor and while it does the job and works it only offers a single viewpoint and is so much like any other initial example. It lacks the growth pains that someone else has worked through to get things working.

To tackle this problem I have been using eVC 3 for the client library (the sync library that sits on the device), eVB 3 for the handheld applet (doesn't get much easier to use since you have ADO support), and Delphi for the server sync library (after having converted the CESync.h and requiredheaders)and MS SQL server for the server store (not using active sync built in functions though). It has been progressing fairly well and I have framed in all the layers but have stumbled on a few points of the API that simply are not clear.

So, as time permits, I have been actively searching for other ActiveSync source code examples to find some lessons learned and alternate views of the function implementations. I have found a site with three separate ActiveSync enabled tools but they are not compiled for the device I am using and the source code is not available. Anyone interested in these ActiveSync Tools can pick them up here. The search continues...
