Questions concerning programming with WM 5

Hello!
Does anyone of you know which dll's I have to use to get the following information:
- the net the sim card is booked in
- states of my GSM unit
- states of my telephone unit
Can anyone help me getting these information or tell me where I might find them?
Thank you very much in advance.
Monty

On Wm5, state and notification broker. No dlls required.
Please move your question to the development forum, for better responses :wink:

Sounds nice. But there's a problem: we do not only use WM 5 Pocket PCs. Many of our devices use Windows CE instead.
Do you know which P/Invoke I have to use?

If you're definitely not using WM5, but WinCE, then it's a hell of a lot more trouble. You need to use TAPI generally, this will give you answers to each of those queries.
I don't use Managed Code, so check out www.opennetcf.org/
If you're using Compact Framework, there may well be managed libraries to get access to this stuff easily.
Native Code ≡ Pain

I checked the library on opennetcf.org but it doesn't seem to be very useful. Is there any way to find out the functions compiled in the API dll's? I'm sure Microsoft offers a way to get the wanted information. But I cannot find it

Coders new to WM5 "help" (advice)

Hi,
I have a fair background in various coding languages, and there are a couple of programs I want to try and build.
However, while I can usually pick up and understand a language quite easily the problem I usually find is a lack of knowledge of the objects available to make life easier and the functions which are available.
So far, I've sat around and got a setup which I think should allow me to write and compile WM5 applications and today plugins, but I have suddenly found I am missing that "thing" that made writing in other languages easier - effectively a "Cheat Sheet".
What I would appreciate from the other coders with experience in writing software for WM5 is a list of what windows or books you have open for reference when coding. Is it just MSDN, is there a specific page that you have bookmarked or do you just google for it every time?
Any further advice (like good compilers I might have missed) will also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'd like to hear from others too about this..
So far, My buddies for development help have been:
1. Search in MSDN
2. Search in Google
3. Ask on xda-developers
4. Search in MSDN forums and usenet groups for pocket pc developers
5. A book (that i dont refer to too often) whose name goes smthing like "Programming for Microsoft Windows CE .net" by Douglas Boling (Its not for .net development, it covers native development mostly. Windows CE .Net refers to a version of CE)
6. I also have another book that i have not even opened till now. It is solely for .net development (which is not my forte). Its by Wrox Publishers. If I remember the name correctly, it goes smthing like "Professional Microsoft Smartphone Programming"

There is an exellent documentation on .NET & Native Code on MSDN.
Then there are samples as well, again on MSDN.
For a today plugin, there is a very good sample by levenum which u can easily find in this section of the forum.
For me its always been google & this forum, no boooooks !!!

or
www.codeguru.com
in most cases programming for pocketpc's is like programming for pc's

Thanks for the replies guys. I see what you mean, MSDN is rather good. I was beginning to think it was just WM6, but I eventually found the section on WM5 (which I am planning on coding for given my phone is WM5). Their Wiki also had some good info on it too. Don't know whether these will be my coding buddies yet though....

I'm glad someone else is interested. TBH I am surprised there is not a sticky at the top of the forum with this information in or a link to the Wiki for further details, but I could only find details of Development Tools on the wiki.

Thanks for this pointer. I found two (here and here) which look promising. Don't know if there are any I missed....

Just a small tip when searching in MSDN... add ce in the search pharse. For e.g., "ce WM_TIMER" will give you the CE related sessions at the top.

I like www.pocketpcdn.com - articles and code examples for Pocket PC and Smartphones arranged by categories.
Also www.codeproject.com has been helpfull at times.

LINUX for pocket pc

Hello all. I've just started a project to build a linux version that can be install in a pocket ppc architecture. So i'm looking for coders, designers, etc...
If you are interested, answer to this post or contact me in personal message. I'll manage a website for that project. There is no needs to say that this project will be completly FREE.

Embedded Linux Forum
For those who are interested, I've opened a forum about embedded Linux.
The forum is very new and it is waiting for peoples

you mean linux for wizard?
ok, i just want to wish you luck.. i seen 1-2 projects - no conclusion, or stable relz so far...
i set instant email notification ON for that post..
g'luck..

http://linwizard.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

good luck, and I can't wait!

After a lots of researchs, i've found there is already a big amount embedded linux distributions (commercial and free). But these distribution are a little complex for newbies, so i decided to make the forum to furnish tutorials and documentation and help for peoples who are interesting in putting Linux on there pocket pc.
I need your participation to the forum !! Questions , tutorials , etc...

I added some informations in the forul but I Still need people. There is a lot of questions asked whithout answers. For example in the project list, there is a project of a LiveSD Linux which you have certainly understood is a LiveCd of linux on a SD. I need programmer, especially for memory's allocation, coders, etc. I want to lead this forum at the first place to help all people who want to build there own embedded linux. The Forum

Interested, too...
At what point do you stay with any developement? Well, i am interested in Linux on my Vario, too.
And what is planned? Full featured Phone-Application, or only a stand-alone Linux?
Regards
Thomas

Both are possible but the better thing you can do is to post your idea or your questions is the FORUM
REGARDS

Vario is HTC Wizard ? The main problem are the CPLD gpios accessed over i2c. For some reason it does not work as expected

That where not so good news... But WM is only a Software, too.

Websites content reading code like title of any website.

Hi all here at xda web forum i want to develop websites content reading code like title of any website or meta and other tags, i want to give URL to this code at run time and it will detect its meta, title or other information and return to me in variables how to do and which language will be use for it like JavaScript, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET or JSP etc.
Please guide me with helpful links or sources.
Thanks.
Ali.

i'm only sure that you can do this with php.
meta tags: http://www.science.uva.nl/ict/ossdocs/php4/function.get-meta-tags.html
or you can get anything from the source with ob_get_contents().. use google or pm me if u need help

Code:
Deleted.
It will result in something like:
Title = xda-developers - Xda-developers

I can't believe I did the work to help a fellow member honestly thinking that it was going to be somehow related to development of some PocketPC software, create the working code in PHP and even tested it on my local server. And then see that you made only 2 posts and check out your signature to see that you are probably going to just throw it up my code on your super spammy ad-sense page. (spammy + in bad need of a spell checker...double whammy)
If you intended on using my code in some way related to PPCs or helping this community, let me know and I might change my mind. Otherwise use Google yourself like you suggested in your 1 other oh so valuable post to this community.
