Q I want to build a little note-taking application for mobile phones and other devices. It would be used to keep personal notes like reminders and grocery lists. I also need to update my company's Web site so it can deliver content to all the different handheld devices that are out there. I'm confused about which tool to use. I've heard about the Microsoft® Mobile Internet Toolkit (MMIT) and the Smart Device Extensions (SDE). What do they do? Which tool should I use?...

In the mobile world we are coming across different varieties of mobile devices. Some mobiles are capable of rendering rich graphics, a few are able to render even low quality graphics and others are capable of displaying text only. Developing application targeting these devices had been a nightmare (prior to .NET mobile development facilities), developers were writing additional code to render the same application for different devices and it was not so easy to do. Now .NET mobile development fa...

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 ...

What is it that GPS applications need to be good enough to use in a commercial environment, such as in-car navigation? Also, how does the process of interpreting GPS data actually work? In this three-part series, I will cover both topics and give you the skills you need to write a commercial-grade GPS application that works with a majority of GPS devices in the industry today....

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 ...

Smartphone applications promise to be at the crest of a new wave of cell phone advances as the familiar process of using Microsoft dev tools can produce cutting-edge mobile phone applications. Because Smartphones are Windows-powered devices, developers can easily and inexpensively extend both new and time-tested business applications to mobile users. These applications will possess the necessary levels of enterprise functionality while integrating mobile phone features through the use of several...

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...

Recently I had the opportunity to return to school to complete a graduate degree. This experience made me realize two important things: there are some cool ideas in academia that seem to never find the light of day in the professional setting, and the academic world at large is not yet very familiar with the Microsoft® .NET Framework. Thus was born my goal of introducing lesser-known ideas to the professional masses while introducing the .NET Framework to the academic world. One particular conce...

While much research has been done to determine the best native Windows APIs to use, little has been done to assist developers in adapting their distributed .NET Framework-based applications for mobile environments. In this paper, we present sample methods to obtain system network connection information using the classes found in the .NET Framework. The initial intention is to enable individual applications to get this information on their own—the laissez-faire approach. But the hope is that thes...

As we design for mobility, we can no longer just "assume" the hardware, the power supply, or the availability and quality of connectivity. Instead, we must question every assumption, every aspect of the platform, from hardware to software to application architecture. Four key questions in particular should be top-of-mind during the early phases of your mobile application design....

Wireless means more than checking e-mail at Starbucks, or a using a PDA at a trade show. At home, my son's iMac is connected to the Internet via an Apple Airport card—that is, an 802.11b "WiFi" connection at 11Mbps. While my desktop is hooked to my network via Fast Ethernet, my trusty laptop has WiFi, but no wired Ethernet—and I'm assured of a connection nearly anyplace I go. Indeed, wireless is almost ubiquitous, and it will only get more so. Thanks to the introduction of the Intel Centrino mob...

I'm not a mobile user. My primary PC is a dual-processor desktop with a huge 23-inch display. I have a laptop, but mainly I use it while making a once-a-month business trip to the East Coast. My cell phone doesn't have Java or BREW, I don't have a Blackberry or pager, and my PDA gathers dust in a drawer. And I'm not in field sales, field service or field anything. So, like many of you, I've found the mantra "Build Mobilized Applications" a little, well, impractical. Mobility conjures up the imag...

Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition software enables devices with landscape and square screen displays. This is an addition to the traditional portrait-only displays that have been on earlier Pocket PCs. When an application designed for portrait displays is run on a square or landscape display, the operating system will automatically add a vertical scroll bar to the form which enables the user to view the entire form. This happens only when there is a control which would be hidden from the user ...
