Hi,
u should check out the Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status-Namespace. The SystemStatus-Class provides several fields which could be useful to getting the cradled-state and network-status.
Best Regards,
David

I've posted this elsewhere but a lack of response made me try again in this mobile forum. Or maybe there is no best answer and I should just throw a dart and jump in....
I’ve been an application developer for 25+ years starting with C, then C++/MFC, then C#/.net . Developing mainly DOS and now Windows based desktop applications, having never done any web or mobile/tablet development. I now find myself in a position needing to fast track my learning on this topic, and know little to nothing about it, as I’ve had my head buried in desktop development for way too long. With Windows 8 on the horizon I'm more than confused as to where to concentrate my limited resources of time and $$.
I know there is quite a bit of information about touch pad/tablet app development on CodeProject but where to begin, and finding the best sources can take some time. It also seems that people are very passionate about their pet systems. Asking which is the best system seems akin to discussing politics and religion. I'm doing this in my spare time, nights and weekends, so I've got none to waste...
I have an older C++/MFC app that I’ve been getting significant requests, from customers, to convert/re-write to run on IPad, Android, etc. and I’m now starting to research how best to proceed.
My question, besides where to start is what to use/how to design, to get the most bang for the buck in time as well as money, and make porting as easy as possible to multiple devices. Maybe I’m naive to say this but, I don’t see my project as a smart phone app but IPad, Android, Win 7 tablets and certainly Windows 8 will be targets. Can anyone give me any advice as to where to start, advice on classroom or online training, etc.
Thanks and Much appreciated,
Steve

Android Developers The dev guide there is a good starting point. Android is Java so learning curve shouldn't be to steep with C# background.
iOS Dev Center The learning curve here is steeper. A book called "Programming in Objective-C" isn't a bad place to get started.
Your going to want at a few devices to test with, not cheap with limited resources. Get yourself a android phone and start there. I've found sales on android far exceed iPhone/iPad sales.
Either you will have a lot of customers or customers who are prepared to pay good money. Most phone users think $10 is expensive.

Thanks, I will look at these suggestions. I think I just need to dive in and get started on something before Windows 8 comes out and possibly reshuffles the deck. I think with my cellular plan I can replace my blackberry with an android phone without too much added cost, maybe just renewing my contract. Learning something new will make it interesting, I've been writing desktop apps way too long.
Not wanting to shell out the extra $$ to buy a Mac, I may start experimenting with Android and Win 7. All I need for Win 7 is to buy a touch screen enabled monitor and download the SDK. 10$ too expensive for a phone app?? That's quite a difference in perspective. If we sold a desktop app for $10, not many would buy it becuase "How good can it be for only $10". There's that whole price threshold thing (<: Thanks again.

Connect your mobile to PC and use iTunes to update it. My friend has already updated to iOS5. From this version, I think you have FOTA option!

A non dev friend has a Samsung WP7 device with no LED for notifications. He has asked me if it's possible to write an app similar to NoLED for Android[^].
I'm not asking for any code - I look forward to writing it myself, just want to know if this is even possible from anybody experienced with Windows Phone 7 development.

I have a problem. I have developed several desktop applications that involve Excel automation, and I am pretty aware of how to add Office Library References, create Excel objects, etc. Now, I am developing a SmartDevice application that will run in a CellPhone with Windows Mobile 6.1, and I want to read from an Excel file that will reside in the phone. The problem is, when I try to add a reference to the Microsoft Office Library, it doesn’t exist in the COM Reference List. How can I make this Library available?
I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

The VSTO extension from Microsoft is PC Windows only and does not work for mobile devices.
I find it hard to believe anyone would work on Excel in a small screen size on a mobile device other than for viewing (and squinting hard).
Having said that there are component vendors which have Mobile libraries for working with XLS/X files one is : TMS FlexCel.net
You can look into these libraries instead.

I have a Wowza server setup, and I need to stream from my android application to Wowza.
I've done quite a lot of research on this. The closest solution I found was this: http://code.google.com/p/spydroid-ipcamera/issues/detail?id=2[^]
But that doesn't work. I have everything setup for my app, all I need to is to do the streaming, which I'm not at all familiar with.
Thank you!

Hi All
I have had a look on the android developer site and downloaded and installed everything in the correct order, but when I try and install the Android SDK it tells me I do not have the java JDK installed. The first time I installed the JDK I used version 7. I then realised it was the wrong version so I took it off and put on that latest 6 version. Still the Android SDK tells me I do not have the JDK.
Getting a bit frustrated now and don't know where to turn. I downloaded and unzipped the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, then the JDK on Windows Vista Basic edition. Any ideas.
Cheers

Check you variable environment : PATH, JAVA_HOME ...

Cheers.
I have managed to sort this out now and it all seems to work fine. Ended up buying a new machine and setting everything up on a VirtualBox Windows 7 VM with no problems
Thanks for the responses
