In The Hand LtdEric King posted this hilarious picture to his blog showing the .NET Framework Standard Library Annotated Reference as you’ve probably never seen it before. I wonder if OpenNETCF class libraries get the same reaction from developers… 🙂
I’ve been invited to help out on the Tablet PC Ask-The-Experts booth at Tech-Ed Europe. This promises to be a pretty cool conference with some great mobility content. I’m definately looking forward to it!
In the last couple of weeks I’ve been down to Microsoft’s UK headquarters in Reading as a member of the judging panel for this interesting Tablet PC competition. Entrants were given the ability to purchase a subsidised Tablet PC and develop an application which they felt was perfect for the Tablet PC platform. The first […]
A number of Pocket PC devices support Vibration as an alert method, most (but not all) are Phone Edition devices. The Vibrate class in the OpenNETCF.Notification library is specific to Smartphone devices only. However the good news is that the Vibrate functionality is implemented as a notification Led so you can control the vibration using […]

As Sam points out, the OpenNETCF.Security.Cryptography library was donated to the OpenNETCF codebase by fellow MVP Casey Chesnut. So a good source of information about how the library is built is Casey’s original article on the subject. The library is designed in such a way that it follows the object model of the System.Security.Cryptography namespace in the […]
Windows Media Player for Pocket PC (and Smartphone) doesn’t have a true object model like it’s desktop cousin, so the ability to use it from your own code is limited. However there is an undocumented method of sending commands to Windows Media Player via a specific series of Windows Messages. These are actually hidden away in […]
I thought it would be a good idea to compile a set of release notes for v1.1! You can view the resulting document here:- http://www.opennetcf.org/PermaLink.aspx?guid=a8b2c046-b9fd-4b0b-bd21-f0d03f6bec55 The document lists the new items in this release. I haven’t compiled the more subtle changes to existing classes (new methods, bug fixes etc). These are available by looking through […]
Spotted this on Seth Demsey’s blog:- The article by Ianier Munoz shows how a desktop drum-machine sample was converted to the .NET Compact Framework. Calls to managed Direct Sound were replaced with P/Invokes to the WaveOut APIs. Check it out! http://www.microsoft.com/belux/nl/msdn/community/columns/munoz/cfrhythm.mspx
