<title>A GPS keep-alive utility and tester for Windows Mobile</title>
<link>http://www.dotnetcat.com/news/Mobile/id/9203/</link>
<pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:57:00 -0500</pubDate>
<description> <![CDATA[ Most of the new Windows Mobile devices include a GPS receiver as part of the standard configuration. However, one problem is that of the repeated &quot;cold start.&quot; Presumably to save battery life, the GPS receiver is turned off when it is not being used. Windows mobile 5 and 6 standard / smartphone editions do not provide user-accessible configuration options to change this.

However, if the GPS remains turned on, even after losing its fix (i.e. by going inside) it will be able to re-acquire its location within seconds of being placed in an area that has a signal.

I designed this utility to run in the background, keep the GPS open, and poll its status at a user-defined interval. This program is also useful if you want to quickly test your GPS to make sure it is configured correctly and/or has a signal. ]]> </description>

<title>Easily Build Mobile PC Awareness into your older, pre-WPF Mobile PC agnostic Windows Forms</title>
<link>http://www.dotnetcat.com/news/Mobile/id/7278/</link>
<pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2007 11:57:00 -0500</pubDate>
<description> <![CDATA[ At a minimum, a Mobile PC application is expected to efficiently manage the power needs, communication environment, inking and form factor constraints of the platforms it supports. This article shows how to easily incorporate ink awareness, power awareness, power awareness and size awareness into otherwise Mobile PC agnostic Windows Form applications, bringing then much closer to conformity as Mobile PC applications. The Mobile PC agnostic Windows Form application used for this demonstration is the VB.NET version of the Black Jack Card Game Starter Kit sample application with either Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition or Visual Studio 2005 as the development environment. The idea is to combine several distinct classes that manage screen size, ink, power and network connectivity separately into one Windows Form class that is easily inherited by a Mobile PC agnostic application. This article highlights some of the benefits of this approach. ]]> </description>

<description> <![CDATA[ Growing up in the 80s, two of the concepts that drew me in to computer science were computers that were small enough to take with you (called &quot;Luggables&quot; then) and displays that were thin enough to hang on a wall. Technology has come a long way in that time-and the Ultra-Mobile class of personal computers that run the Windows Vista operating system is a great example of that progress. So what is a UMPC and why would I be interested in writing an application that is optimized for it?

<description> <![CDATA[ This test tool helps developers of Windows Mobile applications test various security policies for Windows Mobile devices.
It is designed as a desktop application that ships with a preset list of &quot;security configurations&quot;. A security configuration can be thought of as a template, which contains a collection of individual policies and settings. For example, a security configuration could define policies such as whether unsigned applications are allowed to execute, whether RAPI is disabled etc. Using this tool, the developer can provision a Windows Mobile device with different configurations, and then test the application's behavior under these configurations. This tool can be used either on an emulator or an unlocked Windows Mobile device. ]]> </description>
