Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 Application

Hi,

I am trying to develop an application for the windows mobile platform for my MDA(pocket pc).

the applications needs to be able to check incoming calls and see wether its in the contact list. if the incoming call is from the contact list, it needs to play back a pre-recorded custom message to the caller and then hang up.

i have searched everywhere for more details on how i can achieve this and have found that i need to develop this system in c# on visual studio 2005. but as to how i would go on about doing this is still a mystery to me.

does anyone know of any good books or links i can get more information on how to develop this system? or even similar projects or sample codes that i can have a look at?


Please Help!!!!!

re: Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 Application

I have never attempted this type of application before so I am a bit in the dark here, however it is my understanding that the contacts on the mobile device are actually stored in the Pocket Outlook.

using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony;
using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook;

would be two useful references to look up.

With these you could create and load contacts and other PIM data and also access the phone's call functions, such as dialing numbers.

A summary of these can be found here

you can probably capture the number and then try and loop through the contacts checking the phone number, however this could be a bit slow.

I think that you could then play an audio stream directly into the microphone to play your message.

Hope that helps,
