Hello all. I am new to this forum and look forward to your help. I have a VB6 application. I would like this application to communicate with the xda type mobile devices - pc to mobile and vice-versa. Please someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.

look up rapi. well documented on msdn and the sdk (and on the board here!)

Hi,
I am trying to get the ball rolling on PPC development, and I am looking for information on how to do it.
I believe xda-developers could have more detailed data on how to get started on development, useful tools etc, and this data could be presented on the wiki and have a sticky link here at the forums, so that the information can be maintained with ease by us.
For now, I have added this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Development Tools
Which has only a little amount of information, about the standard tools. Naturally, it will be better if we can find a way to substitute Visual Studio with a free tool...
If other people have more information to share, please contribute.
Hi Joe!
I think this is a great idea, as posts about this stuff keep popping up every now and then.
I took the liberty to add info about some free tools from MS to your wiki page, but this is my first time with the wiki so if I did it in some improper way, feel free to edit it.
GSM AT Command set
is there any thing to access AT command set for XDA O2 GSM phone?
and any resource you guys know about how to develop phone dialing software for O2 mini?
i m thinking about doing Call Blocker software if i get those resource.
is there any way that i can use AT Command set in PocketPC?
thanks

You don't need any development information here at xda-developers because all the information is given in Standard Developoment Kit's (SDK) Documentation. Just download the latest "PocketPC SDK" from ms and be happy!
ps: you owe me your call blocker
Hi Everyone,
I'm fairly new to developing on pocket PC's but I've been developing applications for many years. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to redirect another programs attempt to access certain files remotely?
What I'm looking at doing is creating a program that would allow me to specify what IP/domain I want to redirect, and where I want those requests to actually go. Doing what the hosts file does in a PC.
I've had a search online and on this forum and couldn't find anything related to what I'm after. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, or any resources that might be useful/a good read then please post
Supposedly WM has a built in firewall. It might just be CE, but the SDK seems to suggest WM generally. Have a look on MSDN for port redirection and interception. I've written some posts on it way back on here... but on unrelated topics.
Apologies for brevity, have to run

Thanks for the tips I'll have a read in a bit and see what I can come up with.
From the sounds of it, you want to make a DNS proxy. To do this, you need to intercept all dns requests and process them accordingly.
--Edit--
Now that I think about it, if you hook the look up function, gethostbyname()
Hi chaps,
I've just got myself an O2 XDA Orbit - great device, and now I'm looking for developing for it - just simple things at first, like a Blackjack game, or a simple Today feature with the sun and moon times on it; this sort of thing.
I've got Visual Studio .NET 2003, but I see that in order to program the latest devices, you need VS 2005 (?). So, I've downloaded Embedded Visual Studio C++ v4 with all the SDK's and I'm hoping to develop for an earlier version of Windows Mobile, and hope that it works.
So while I've got all that, I'm now stuck as to where to start! Can anyone point me to a good book, or something online which will help me through a simple CE application? How you do get the Today screen working, for example? I realise that this might be asking a lot, but a couple of pointers would be great - if you could!
Many thanks,
MrP.
I'm just starting out myself with windows mobile programming. You can find a lot of info from msdn. Here is an example Hello app.

You can find a lot of good stuff at the code project site also.

eVC has wizards that will get you going. One thing I found out about using eVC is that you won't be able to debug your programs on a WM5/6 device since the SDK's are not compatible with them. It can be a bit of a challenge to fix bugs without a debugger. I can't get the debugger to work with the emulator either for some reason.
A question for other eVC developers out there. Is it possible to use the emulator to debug programs or do you all have an old PPC2003 device that you use to do your debugging? Or have you all moved on to VS2005?
I've bought visual studio 2005 standard and it is great - it fully supports WM5/6 (with sdk) and runtime debugging - for .exe it works well but I have problems with .dll - I can't debug dll files - does anyone know how to make it?
Pleas look up threads started by vijay555.
He wrote a comprehensive article on the tools and possibilities to begin developing for these devices.
Just as a quick side note:
There is no need what so ever to pay M$ money for VS 2005 if you want to develop in C / C++.
Apps written in eVC++ 4 will work perfectly with WM 5 and 6 and if you need any missing API (not many of those) you have 2 choices:
1) Manually unpack the SDK and link to it.
2) Use implicit linking (that LoadLibrary and GetProcAdress).

Sorry about the delay in replying...
Many thanks for the pointers.. Just a matter of starting now!
Hi there,
I need to make an application for a smart device. This application should be able to access the GPS (the device must have GPS) on the COM ports and collect data so that I can calculate the distance when the device is moving. Other requests are that the device should run Windows Mobile and have UMTS capability. I will be using . NET platform for writing the application, so if someone has done this before or something similar and can help me with anything from advices to code snippets or even the application itself, I will be forever thankful .
The big question I have in the beginning is what device suits best this description. I want to use the classic ASUS 636n but it has no UMTS capability.
thanks to admins for this great forum , see ya
Check gsmarena.com. They have a good search utility.
Here are my results
I picked Windows Mobile Pro because you mentioned 636N and it's a touch device.
I also picked UMTS 2100 assuming you're not in the US since 636N was never sold in the US.
please do NOT provide answers in this section
refer to the Q&A section
thank you
Hello,
What i want is to develop an application for my Asus A696 PDA, for controlling my home cinema through IrDA. I have a few devices like Dreambox DM800, WDTV, Loewe A42 and also a Samsung HT TZ225.
I am new to the mobile development scene and obviously i am trying to find my way around. For a start, what should i use to develop my application? Java or Windows Mobile development IDE?
I wouldn't mind if you posted some good tutorials too
Thank you
Anybody anything?
Search the forums, there are plenty of answers already.
Look at the Wiki. There is a whole page with all sorts of information on programming.
I also have some information on my web page.
on my dreambox for some reason the user or password has been changed from default and i cant figure it out.
