You could write an activeSync provider, but I've done this and it is kind of
tedious or you could use RAPI to transfer the file directly from the PC when
you detect an activeSync connection or finally you could wire up the
SystemState Changed event using the SystemProperty.ActiveSyncStatus property
in the constructor on the pda side. Then you use the Changed event handler
to detect an activeSync conenction and pull the file or write the file back
to your PC.

You can use RAPI in a desktop application to manipulate files and data
on an attached handheld; for info, loop up CeReadFile and relatives.
For info about making sure the app starts when a handheld is
connected, see my 22 Oct 2003 contribution to a thread called "How to
check Pocket PC is Connected or not?" in
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer.
