Project DescriptionThis library contains functionality for updating different dynamic DNS Providers like for example DynDNS.org and NoIP. The library is compatible with the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and higher.
BackgroundThere are differents solutions on the market to "push" data to mobile devices. Taking a deeper look in most cases this "push" is a some type of a device driven long running function. To achieve a real push some type of adressing has to take place to contact a mobile device. Therefore a standarized system shall be used. Additionally to cope with the fact that mobile connections get assigned dynamic IPs providers offering Dynamic DNS entries seem to be the right choice to solve the described problem.
DetailsThis project consists of a easy to use client library, primarily developed for the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 or higher. As no specific functionality (P/Invoke etc.) is used it shall work on the .NET Framework 2.0 or higher as well (not tested yet).
