The RAPI library (Remote API) is a desktop-only library which allows communication between the desktop and the device using ActiveSync.

Using RAPI library you can transfer files between the device and the desktop, launch applications on the device from the desktop, and do other file operations.

The RAPI library - RAPIDesktop.dll is based on OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communication library.

To use these features both dll files: RAPIDesktop.dll and OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communcation.dll should be copied to the application folder (source code or compiled application).

The OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communcation library and its license agreement are included in this package.

Note that the device must be connected to the desktop using ActiveSync.

Example:

'Add a RAPIDesktop object named rapi.

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub App_Start

      Form1.Show

      rapi.New1

      rapi.Connect

      t = now '3 seconds timeout.

      do until rapi.IsConnected = true

            doevents

            if (now - t)/cTicksPerSecond > 3 then

                  msgbox("Cannot connect to device.")

                  appclose

            end if

      loop

      if rapi.DeviceFileExists("\My Documents\MyApp.exe") = true then

            rapi.CopyFileToDevice1(AppPath & "\data.dat","\My Documents")

            rapi.DeviceShell("MyApp.exe","")

      end if

End Sub
