Data transfer Windows Embedded Compact 7 & Computer VIA USB connection

I made an app using the barcoding for inventory management, now i need to transfer that data to the computer. For this purpose i used TCP/IP Host client sample applications given in windows mobile 6.5.3 SDK samples.

When i run the application its' fine no errors, shows connected to the Host IP but no data is transferred, When i debugged there is no exception code just works fine but there is no functionality performed. My connection is USB connection. IP shown in host application is correct, my device is also having IP (check through ipconfig). Now when i ping my host computer from device, it is giving error 

PING: transmit failed, error code 11010

Is my approach right towards this situation using this data transfer over this socket ? If yes then how can i make this connection successful ? If not what is the other solution for this data transfer from device to computer. (software on device is using SQL CE and application on computer is ASP.NET application using SQL Server database.)

I saw various similar questions about this problem but unable to find any suitable solution. PS i am new this platform of windows mobile/embedded

If not what is the other solution for this data transfer from device to computer. (software on device is using SQL CE and application on computer is ASP.NET application using SQL Server database.)

These are some common solutions for client/server communications on Windows Mobile:

  1. Use RAPI or RAPI2 to communicate with the mobile device and host PC using the USB ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center connection. You could use this option to export a CSV file from the mobile device to the host PC. Then you can import the CSV file into the host database. Requires physical access to host PC via USB.
  2. Call a web service to transmit the data to the server. You can write a simple RESTful web service using ASP.NET Web API. If you're using C++ you can use WinInet API, but it's kind of painful. If you're using C# then you have built-in support and it's not an issue.
  3. Use SQL CE Replication.
