Thanks to Christian Weyer for pointing me to the .NET Compact Framework Mobile Web Server Architecture !
Actually, I found this before, but gave up after I got a Type Exception on my HP iPaq 5450 ( 2002 ). I tried again, and after creating the wwwroot folder manually, it deploys and runs fine.
It was cool to add a web reference in Visual Studio from a server running on my iPaq! :)
Assuming there isn't comparable functionality appearing in forthcoming Compact Framework releases, it would be a good project to keep alive. I would admit that SOAP services on a PocketPC are of little use to most users, but in the world of more connected web services I imagine they have a place somewhere.
Anyone have any information on this project? The origional link is dead, and there are almost no references to it under google.
