• Smart Device Development Software tools for file transfer between CE device and desktop app?

  Does anyone know of software tools that can be integrated into a vb.net 2005 desktop app that allows me to control file transfers to and from my mobile device, running on CE 5.0 There is a product at pda-tec.com that has the right idea; it offers controls that can be integrated into your vb.net program that let you send files to the mobile device, and receive files, and initiate a program on the mobile device, etc. But being a 'set of active x controls', as they say on their website, I assume means that they are designed for older vb6 code. I have quite a few text files I need to move back and forth at different times, from different folder ...Show All

• SQL Server T-SQL Query that looks for multiple records.

You have a table that contains check information where the bank account and the ...Show All
