It shows how straightforward it is to make parts of a web site available to Pocket PCs. Interesting concept: Fat client and Internet connectivity. Way to go!<br /><br />"... you won't believe how easy it is to add and comsume an XML web service in the Compact Framework. One of the very coolest things about .NET web services is that you can literally build a platform agnostic API to whatever application you want. In fact there is nothing to stop you building an API to your web site! But first let's learn to walk before we run headlong into that dark night by starting with something simple. Suppose that I want to provide a means for other webmasters to link to the developer articles on DEVBUZZ. There are many great technical authors who have contributed to DEVBUZZ and perhaps they would like to automatically generate links to their articles."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/xmlws_01.gif" />
