I'm new to ASP.NET and have made pretty good progress so far in developing my first mobile/PDA application. I've been able to display data from my database on my PDA and I can update/insert new data into text fields using values that the user types into textbox
controls. I can also now display images that are on the server and view them on my PDA. I'm stuck, however, on the last piece of my application. I have a memory stick on my PDA that I use to store pictures taken with the PDA camera (I'm using a Sony Clie PEG-NZ90).
I want the user to be able to select an image file from the memory stick and display it on the PDA in an image control. If the user decides that they want to submit the image, I want them to be able to click a "Submit" command control to upload the image to
the database. How do I go about doing this? I've tried using a file select control in a device specific content pane to be able to select which file I want. The file select control works fine to allow me to browse the files on the memory stick. But, I can't
figure out how to get the image loaded into the image control. For example, using the file select, I can see that one of the images I want to select is listed as having the following path/name: //DCIM/101MSDCF/DSC00009.JPG When I try to set the mobile image
URL to this it doesn't work. How to I let the control know that the image is located locally on the memory stick and not on the server? I've seen several posts that make it seem like this capability would be fairly straightforward if I was using a Pocket PC
and writing a client application using embedded VB and SQL CE. I'd prefer to be able to use ASP.NET and the MMIT controls so that I can use the Clie which is a Palm OS PDA. Is this possible? Are there any good references out there to help guide me? Thanks
for your assistance, Kerar
