Is it possible for a windows mobile phone to use WebRequest to connect to a windows client application. I mean an actual windows forms application.
I want to use webrequest but the client application cannot be a web app or anything, it has to be a windows forms program. So, is it possible?
Thanks
Possible, yes. Easy, or a good idea for that matter, no.
If your WinForms app also opens up a Socket and listens for requests on port 80.
Essentially you have to build a web server into your WinForms application and then deal with firewall and security issues of the traffic getting from the Mobile Phone to the computer running your application.
