GPRS Signal Strength
in [CSharp]
|
From: iKiLL on 20 Mar 2007 06:16 Hi all I am working with CF2 and C#. I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction for how I can determine if there is a GPRS Signal. I am using Merge Replication to SQL Mobile and I am not sure how I should handle it if there is no signal. Any suggestions. Thanks, ink
From: Peter Foot [MVP] on 20 Mar 2007 10:32 If your device is Windows Mobile 5.0 you can use the Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status namespace functionality. SystemState.PhoneSignalStrength returns the signal strength as a percentage. Also SystemState.PhoneGprsCoverage returns whether or not GPRS is currently available, which is probably more relevant in your scenario. Another approach is to use ConnectionManager to establish the connection and check for successful connection. If not don't run your replication code and you could optionally display an alert to the user that they don't have a connection.

From: iKiLL on 20 Mar 2007 10:40 Thanks Peter That is exactly what i was hoping for. "Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status" The ConnectionManager Approch. How would i do that. Is that coding or is that something you setup on the PDA.

From: Peter Foot [MVP] on 21 Mar 2007 03:12 Connection Manager is a native API, so you would either need to write some code to P/Invoke it or use a wrapper.
