Mobile Secretary - FREEWARE POCKETPC


This app allows your Windows Mobile device to automatically respond to a missed call with a custom text message and optionally with your current calendar information. You can customize the messages for various groups of people as well. What if someone calls from their home phone number? Well, as long as you have a contact's various phone numbers in your contact database, the text message will always be sent to their mobile phone.

There are 2 standard groups that you start off with. The "" group applies to a caller who can be found in your contacts, but has not been assigned to a group you created. The "" group applies to a caller that cannot be found in your contacts. You can create as many other groups that you'd like. Contacts can only belong to one group at a time.

This is an enhanced version of the application that I used to demonstrate some of our .Net APIs that were introduced in Windows Mobile 5.0. In addition to Windows Mobile 5.0, you'll also need the .Net Compact Framework v2 installed on your device.

I'll be posting the source code soon so that you can see how this app works as well as get a survey of the Windows Mobile .net APIs.

Some of the managed APIs that are used in this app include:

* The State and Notification Broker (SystemState Class)
* Send a Text Message (SmsMessage class)
* Sms Interception (MessageInterceptor Class)
* Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook
o Contact Class
o Appointment Class
o Custom Properties
* SelectPictureDialog
* ChooseContactDialog
* Phone class

Hope you find it useful as an application, a sample, or both! - by BCross
