Help, programming in PPC usign .NET

[fekimoki]

Hello, im totaly VB.NET newbie wanna developing some kind of fetching data (eg: stocks) from my webserver

 and display it on the Pocket PC screen. I got VS.NET 2003, and where should i start:

1. Fetching XML file from the server from Pocket PC?

2. Display the XML in some kind of a datagrid in Pocket PC ?

Use a dataset, the .net cf support's it, so you could write a xml web service that returns a dataset and use it without problems from the pocket pc

Edit: just re-read your post, i dont know how you could do that, i dont know if the .net cf support's serialization (which is how i would do it)

You could write a go between, a web service that processes the xml file and returns a dataset, that would probably be the easiest method.

Edit 2: I just remembered, you could grab the xml file, and process it with the classes in the System.Xml namespace. i compleatly forgot about them, but i remembered when i realised that it (.net cf) support's xml web services, it needs those classes.

Sorry for taking a while to respond

Anyway, im a complete n00b when it comes to that namespace aswell, so far i have only played around with the XmlSerializer, but look on google for some info, i think XPath might be worthwhile looking for.
