Guest gun_runner Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) Here is a simple application I have just written to query Web Services over GPRS. I've only tested it on a C500 Windows Mobile 2003 (It's written using Compact .net) At the minute it only includes: Weather US Stock Quotes GeoIP Service (determine where an IPAddress is located) English to Frenh Traslation It's a bit of a proof of concept at the mo' but there are many other Web Services available. I plan to add a whole bunch of services to the same application so you have a central location to query lots of stuff. A few examples I have are language translations, currency conversion, distance conversion, footy scores, travel info. The good thing is it is very simple and doesn'y hammer your GPRS:) Known problems at the minute are: No error checking so the app will fail if you enter something it can't find or if you try and search when you have no signal. No true close button - You can use the home softkey but the app will continue to run in the background. I use a task manager such as Resco System Toys at the minute to kill unwanted tasks still running. I shall sort these problems out and post again also with some of the additional services. Has anyone any comments or suggestions? PS. Kudos to MiloTheGreat for the idea :Dsetup.ARMV4.CAB Edited January 25, 2005 by gun_runner
Guest MiloTheGreat Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 If your interested I've written a SOAP service (and smartphone app) that can pull pop email from an account, you enter pop server, username and password.. THe smartphone just consumed the SOAP and the SOAP server does all the hard work.... Viewer only, but if you fancy doing a joint project, I'll set it up in GotDotNet worspace..? Let me know. Milo
Guest MiloTheGreat Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 I should say, I used Outlook2003 so pop viewing is off the agenda... Which is why I wrote it.... + it just pulls text, no binary... so it fast and lightweight... Milo
Guest gun_runner Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 I have done a bit of cleaning up on my application and reposted a new .cab file to the link above. I would appreciate any 'beta testers' having a look and letting me know of any problems/comments/suggestions you may have. It should work on any Windows Mobile 2003 device, but I have only tested so far on a C500. Thanks
