Communication between a Windows mobile 6.5 app and a Winform app

First, a WinCE app scannes several barcodes and submit, then a winform app on a PC gets all the barcodes and generates some files and inserts some info into an Oracle database.

So what is the most reliable and easiest approach to realize the communication between a Windows mobile 6.5 app and a Winform app in my scenario? I am really anxious to achieve the above requirements. Thank you in advance!

Solution

  • Two suggestions:

    • Mobile App (Store records) - > DB on LAN < - Windows App (Collect)
    • Mobile App (calls functions) - > WCF hosted in Windows App (Accepts mobile app input)

    As in my comments on your original question.. WCF should do great here... its plentyfull fast and capable enough to transmit some barcodes... If your implementation is slow, you are probably doing something wrong...
