In Part 1 of this article, I described how to write an interpreter for raw GPS NMEA data. The article included source code in VB.NET which harnessed the power of GPS satellites to determine the current location, synchronize the computer clock to atomic time, and point to a satellite on a cloudy day. The interpreter also works with hand-held devices and supports international developers. Yet, the interpreter was really not suitable for commercial use because it did not monitor precision. Without ...

Welcome to Going Places—a new column devoted to mobile device development. The main focus will be on Windows Mobile® phones and Tablet PCs, although any topic related to mobility is fair game. My name is Mike Calligaro, and I've been a developer at Microsoft for 14 years. Aside from a two week stint in the Windows® desktop group, I've spent my entire career in what is now the Windows Mobile division. I've worked on a wide range of products, including an early version of interactive TV, the Sega ...

One of the most exciting aspects of a mobile device is its ability to let you to interact with your surroundings. This article takes a look at a method of controlling consumer appliances (stereo, DVD player, VCR, television, hobby robots, etc...) using their built-in infrared (IR) receivers. There are several good applications available that allow you to send/receive IR signals from your Pocket PC, but they all suffer from the same problem: the IRDA port on most models is too weak to produce a c...

My English is not very well and so I hope everyone can understand this article. Still if questions should exist, I will gladly answer those. And if someone should find some errors, please send me the correct version of the wrong text - thanks for the help in improving my English knowledge ;-). For data exchange, most of the new mobile phones and Pocket PCs possess an infrared (IRDA) port. So, why not use this infrared connection to communicate between these two devices?...

I recently lost the TV remote for my old Sony TV. In itself that was no problem, as I bought a replacement remote which did the job. However, when the TV lost its colour setting, I had a problem as it could only show pictures in black and white, and the replacement remote didn't have the buttons for colour adjustment. I decided to write a program on my old Jornada 525 Pocket PC to send the correct codes to the TV using the IR port....

Pocket 1945 is a classic shooter inspired by the classic 1942 game. The game is written in C# targeting the .NET Compact Framework. This article is my first submission to Code Project and is my contribution to ongoing .NET CF competition. As well as being my first article this is also my first game ever. My every day work consists of building data centric business applications, so game writing is something completely different. So, go easy on me. One of my goals when starting this project was to...

This is a simple version for Pocket PC of the worldwide awarded game Tetris (perhaps the most popular electronic game of all times?) In this article I'll present some techniques used to develop the game, providing also the source code. I hope the reader enjoy it, because for me it was a real treat. I should say that I was motivated mainly by the fabulous work of Jonas Follesø in his article Pocket 1945 - A C# .NET CF Shooter. That article was uploaded to The Code Project in 2004 and is still imp...
