How to integrate with Blackberry Push Service from .NET

Question

Is there a simple way to initiate push messages to RIM's "Blackberry Push Service" from .NET? The documentation only discusses using the Java SDK. I'm not familiar with how to interop with Java from .NET (and I can't find any documentation on the raw webservices), so if anyone has any guidance or experience to share it would help a lot.

Answer 1

Check out these links to the BB Developer Forum for further information regarding .NET development.

There is also a Blackberry Web Plug-In for Visual Studio 2008 which can be found here

Answer 2

The RIM Java-based push SDK has been ported to C# and is hosted - open source - on the CodePlex web-site here.
