In our project we are dealing with data transmission between PC and PPC through IR.
We are using an external IR device attached to the desktop through COM port(COM1) and in the other
end we have pocket pc with the built-in IR. The idea is that we are trying to send/receive data between
pocket pc and desktop hyperterminal through IR. The problem that we face is that one side data transfer works fine
i.e I am able to send data from my pocket pc to the desktop hyperterminal but on the other hand while
trying to receive data from the desktop hyperterminal nothing happens no data is transmitted.
We tried the following programming options to send/receive through IR,
1) COMM control in eVB
2) .NET IR socket library
In both the case, we are able send data from PPC IR and not able receive data from the desktop computer through hyperterminal with IR device attached.
Is any other way to achive.

Hi,
Did you used Serial Communication API. if you used COM1 port to connect the IR and using Hyperterminal to view the results then you can easily send or receive the data through Serial communication APIs. I tried with WinCE 5.0 platform builder it is working.
