Hello -

I am currently working on a device that needs to be completely controled via the web interface. the interface needs to provide system level data (memory, battery indication) as well as the ability to manipulate system properties (system name, network config, etc.).

I have tried a few asp pages using VBScript, but it appears as though the Compact Framework has very limited functionality as far as supporting the kind of things I want to do.

- Do you have any samples or examples of web based "headless" operations using the CE environment?
- What literature would you recommend in order to persue this further?
- do you have any other recommendations as to how to proceed?

thanks in advance,

akidder

Thanks for your note. Can you let us know what product and build of CE you're working with? I don't know that we're familiar with your application.

Sure -

Currently I'm working with CE 4.2 (CE.NET) on an AGX development board. The final resting place for this will be on a board that ADS will be developing for us hopefully in the very near future.

CE doesn't support ASP.NET, so the Compact Framework is not usable for you. A subset of ASP 3.0 is available with VBScript 5.5 and Javascript 5.5 support, though the standard ADS builds do not include ASP server support (contact our sales staff if this feature is important to your development). The most common methods for an interface are through plain HTML and ISAPI extensions. For a good overview from John Spaith (the guy who wrote a good deal of the web server stuff in CE) see this blog entry.

From reading his blog, it seems as though for the functionallity, I'm going to have to use ISAPI.
