I have an IPAQ 3870. I would like to create an application that show on ipaq a video stored in one in a server (connected with 802.11b).
I'm oriented in developping with .NET, but I have some questions :
1) how can I connected an application with a remote DB ?
2) how can I show a video streaming on a mobile device ? (wme ?)
3) ANy other suggestion ?

Thanks

Client:
Windows Media Player 8, it should already be on your ipaq.

Server:
Windows Media Encoder 7.1
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/WM7/encoder.asp
and if you wants to optimize content for the Windows Media Player for Pocket PC, then get these profiles add-in.

They are all free, and ready to go.

I know this kind of program but I have many doubts on which skd is better to use to develop an application with streaming.
Can I add streaming video/audio in VisualBasic? SDE ? MMIT ?


Thanks

Well, if you prefer to develop your own applications, MS also provides Embedding the Windows Media Player Control for Pocket Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player Control for Pocket Internet Explorer SDK. The SDK also includes a code sample that demonstrates how to embed the control in a custom C++ program using Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/create/embedppc.asp

Base on personal experiences, the solution i suggested before works perfectly, it took me about 20 minutes to set it up, but i do like to do things the easy way. If you prefer to reinvent the solutions from scratch, best of luck to you.

AnswerDude,

You either have entirely too much time on your hands or you are just smart.

*thinks he'll go with the latter one :rolleyes:...*

One more question :p

Any samples for Visual Basic embedded for streaming ?
And any samples to connect a remote client written in VB for PDA to a server ?


Thanks another time

Sorry, personally I don't have any, as I said before, i use wmp 8 and encoder combination, zero programming work. Perhaps you can find them in these sdk you downloaded.
