Hi Folks,

I was hoping to get a little help here. I have recently foun the following code (here: http://www.opennetcf.org/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=160)

  1. public class VoiceRecorder

  81.             }
  82.         }
  83.     }
  84. }
  85.  
which is for creating a voice/audio recorder on a WM5 PDA. I have included the code into my project in a VoiceRecorder.cs class, and have invoked it from the main code (i.e. VoiceRecorder vr = new VoiceRecorder(); vr.show() ) and the voice recorder app appears on screen, and beeps when I hit record, but there doesnt seem to be any file being created, nor is there any functions for playback. I was wondering if anyone could help me out here, as I really want to include this in my application. If anyone has any other ideas on a good way to include a voice recording feature from c# code I would greatly appreciate it!

Cheers folks,

Mark

Who wrote voicectl.dll? And do you have access to the source code for it?

Given these 2 lines

  1.         private string wavFile = @"\My Documents\~VRec_0.wav";
  2.

I can't help feeling that you have a file path/name error. I know nothing of cs but if the @ in the first statement equates to a balnk string then the path to the file is obviously invalid.

On the other hand assuming that the @ in the first statement equates to the current users directory (making the path valid) then the length of the wavFile is going to be rather longer than the 32 characters assigned to temp;

Either way you seem to have an error around you file path/name.
