Hi,
i'm about to undertake a project to write a devlivery system to run on PocketPC in vb.net using webservices to connect to the server. This project will include signature capture and local data caching if the GPRS or web server connection is down..
has anybody got any hints/tips/ideas that may speed my way to a sucessful solution...
things i need to consider are:
Username/Password login for drivers
Encryption of signature data
Pointing the PDA's to the correct webserver for that company.
Checking for an internet connection from the PDA.
Whether to have two programs running on the PDA one that uploads the data to the server and the other that does the delivery confirmations and captures the signatures or whether to have one program that does it all..
Printing off delivery confirmations from the PDA..
the system will probably have about 2000 PDA's connected to it!
any ideas/comments/thoughts/code snipets would be greatly received..
