Question

Is is possible to detect when a Pocket Pc device is docked in it’s cradle in Windows Mobile 2003 using C#.

I want it to call a web-service when the device is put back on charge.

OpennetCF provide a way to monitor activesync connection status. Like the code below:

private void connectAsync_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
                {
                        m_rapi.RAPIConnected += new RAPIConnectedHandler(m_rapi_RAPIConnected);
                        m_rapi.RAPIDisconnected += new RAPIConnectedHandler(m_rapi_RAPIDisconnected);
                        m_rapi.Connect(false, -1);
                }

                private void m_rapi_RAPIConnected()
                {
            this.Invoke(textUpdate, new object[] { this, new TextArgs(connectStatus, "Connected") });
            this.Invoke(enableUpdate, new object[] { this, new EnableArgs(connectAsync, false) });
            this.Invoke(enableUpdate, new object[] { this, new EnableArgs(connectSync, false) });
                }

                private void m_rapi_RAPIDisconnected()
                {
            this.Invoke(textUpdate, new object[] { this, new TextArgs(connectStatus, "Not Connected") });
            this.Invoke(enableUpdate, new object[] { this, new EnableArgs(connectAsync, false) });
            this.Invoke(enableUpdate, new object[] { this, new EnableArgs(connectAsync, false) });
                }



                 private void copyFrom_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

                {
                        if(! m_rapi.Connected)
                        {
                                MessageBox.Show("Not connected!");
                                return;
                        }

                        m_rapi.CopyFileFromDevice("f:\\1.jpg", "\\My Documents\\1.jpg", true);

                }

While detecting it is connection, it
will change the status as “connected”.
