Hi folks,
I have a problem that I have a solution for but I'm looking at getting an alternate method that may be simpler. The situation is this:
I have an old project that acts as a datalogger, the method works by passing a string of information as PostData through a web browser reference object. This works well and has been used on a number of projects as it allows you to store and retrieve data through an html web-page, a relatively simple and effective method. The way that this is done is uses a range of Property nodes, ActiveX methods and Invoke Nodes.
The problem comes in that this method is desired to be used with a Windows CE device using the Touch Panel Module for LV, however CE and the Touch Panel Module do not allow the use of Property Nodes, ActiveX or Invoke Nodes. Hence the problem, is there a possible method to perform this functionality using only the functions available for Windows CE?
My alternate method that I have been thinking about is using a waystation type system that would take the data from the CE device using TCP and then convert it to the HTML method for transfer to the database. I am fairly certain this would work, but apart from being more cumbersome to design and having more points of failure it adds extra costs and maintenance to the project.
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
