ActiveSync AutoConnect Feature Missing from Windows CE .NET 4.1 (328450)

RESOLUTION

1. Open a text editor (such as Notepad), and copy the following code into a new (blank) document.

   ; This is the database initialization file.  Format is as follows:
   ;
   ; Database : <db name> : <type in hex> : <num sort orders> : <sort order specifier 1> ...
   ; This describes a database with one or more (up to 4) sort orders.
   ;
   ; A sort order specifier may be described in one of two ways:
   ; 1.  <hex propid> : <hex flags>
   ;     This describes a sort order on a single property.
   ; 2.  [ <num sort properties> : <hex propid 1> : <hex flags 1> ... ]
   ;     This describes a sort order on one or more (up to 3) properties.  Note that
   ;     "[ 1 : <hex propid> : <hex flags> ]" is equivalent to "<hex propid> : <hex flags>"
   ;
   ; So an example Database specifier might be:
   ; Database : "MyDatabase" : 0
   ;   : 4 : 0001001F : 0
   ;       : [ 3 : 0002001F : 0 : 0003001F : 0 : 0004001F : 0]
   ;       : 0003001F : 0
   ;       : [ 1 : 0004001F : 0 ]
   ; which describes a database with four sort orders, one of which is sorted on
   ; three properties.
   ;
   ; A database specifier can be followed by any number of record specifiers
   ; Record : 
   ;
   ; A record specifier can be followed by one or more field specifiers
   ; Field : <hex propid> : <value> [ either string or hex dword ]
   ;
   ; End   (ends a matching database or a record context)
   
   
   Database: "DB_notify_events" : 0 : 1 : 0001001F : 0
   
   ; @CESYSGEN IF DATASYNC_MODULES_REPLLOG
   Record :
   Field : 0001001f : "repllog.exe"
   Field : 0002001f : "AppRunAtRs232Detect"
   Field : 00030013 : 9
   End
   ; @CESYSGEN ENDIF
   
   End Database
   					

2. Save the file as Datasync.db in the following directory:

   WinCE410\Public\Datasync\Oak\Files

3. Do a clean build of your image.
   
   After you add this file to your Windows CE .NET image, ActiveSync connects automatically.
