Hello every body,

We have an application runing on XP which consists of following......
1) Web browser accessing the ASP application running on remote XP machine.
2) Web Service host developed using System.Web.Services.Webservice namespace
running on local machine, this service serves the request of the ASP
application running on the remote machine and this webservice makes use of
the following COM+ to complete that request.
3) COM+ component developed using System.EnterpriseServices namespace, this
component commands the serial port device as per the incoming requets from
local webservice.

Now we are planning to migrate this app from WinXP to WinCE6.0 and we found
that....
1) It has a webbrowser which can consume/access the ASP application running
on remote machine.
2) It supports a Native/unmanaged Web Service hosting, tried sample
webservice host, it is working fine.
3) No COM+, since there was no COM+, we tried to access the serial port
through the webservice, but it we were not able to do that.

So we are thinking what would be the alternative approach for this one

Comments/Suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Sunny

Hello Experts,

Is it not possible to access serial port through web-service?
Please suggest any alternative approach.

Thankyou
Sunny

If you wrote the web service is native code (which is the only option in CE) 
then yes, the code can do pretty much anything, including opening and using 
a serial port.

Hai ctacke,

Thank for replying,
I tried to access the serial port through a webservice, but i was not able 
to do so and the platfrom builder raised a access violation exception in the 
debug window...

what could be the issue?

Thankyou
Sunny

Without seeing the code or the violation, all I can guess is that you have a 
bug in your code.
