Hi
That depends on various aspects like the way the IR device transmits its data (Serial over IR, IrDA...), the Windows Mobile Device you're using.
Windows Mobile (and the underlaying Windows CE OS) supports 3 ways to access the IR port:
IrDA Sockets: a managed API is available in System.Net.Sockets.IrDAClient (System.Net.IrDA.dll)
IrCOMM (COM emulation over IrDA): use the .NET CF 2.0 SerialPort class to use this techology
More infos are available in the MSDN library under http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms900378.aspx
Propably your best option is to use 'Raw IR'. This will only work if the device exposes the IR as serial port.
The .NET CF 2.0 SerialPort class is not capable of switching a serial port to IR mode. You have to use P/Invoke to call the Win32 APIs directly. You may need to disable the Windows Mobile option 'enable incomming beam'

Hope this helps
