This code sample is named SocketApp. It demonstrates the use of Windows Sockets to communicate with a mobile device. First, SocketApp uses Remote API (RAPI) interfaces to get the mobile device's IP address through ActiveSync. Second, SocketApp sends a "hello" string to the mobile device, and then listens for the mobile device to respond.

Comments
The project file assumes that the Visual Studio default header and library search paths have been updated appropriately. For example, Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK will install ActiveSync library and header files to the following default locations:
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Activesync\inc
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Activesync\Lib
