How to convert a pxl (Pocket Excel) file to xls (Desktop Excel) file programatically.

Asked by AnthonyStrafford in Windows MobileProgramming

Tags: pxl, excel, convert, pocket, xls

Hi my question relates to a very specific requirement, I know that Activesync will do this automatically and I know that you can simply drag-and-drop a file backwards and forwards between the Pocket PC and the Desktop.

What I need to do is have a desktop program select a specific set of pxl files on the pocket pc, transfer them to the desktop pc then convert them to Excel for further manipulation.

I have written the RAPI code to select and copy the files from the pocket pc no problem at all. I have this code working in VB6 and VB.NET.

What I can't seem to crack is converting the .pxl files now that I have them on the desktop pc!

I have tried the "Windows CE Services File Converter" program from Microsoft but can't get past an error "Test.pxl cannot be converted because there is no converter available for the file type........"

I think there may be a way with "replfilt" in the ActiveSync API but can't find any info on how to use it!
