Hi to all I am new to this Pocket PC environment. I need to create a stock ticker on Pocketpc which displays the stock values on that ticker. What are the things that I need to know to create a ticker using WinCE or atleast using .Net framework. This is very urgent. Thanks Rani.

You would do it almost exactly the same way you would with a normal (desktop) stock ticker in .NET. Your task doesn't require any special knowledge for PPC development since you're planning to use .NET. I would look around the web for ticker projects people have done using the regular .NET framework (as opposed to the .NET Compact Framework). It will almost certainly work identically or close. You will probably be using the HttpWebRequest object or something related (though the WebClient class is not available on the compact framework). You can see an example of grabbing the HTML content from a Uri here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.getresponse(VS.80).aspx[^] -Matt
