8/28/2008 This code sample is named GPS. It demonstrates how to use managed code to write a C# Windows Mobile Global Positioning System (GPS) application. This code sample demonstrates how to wrap the native GPS APIs in a C# class. It demonstrates how to use "Platform Invoking" (PInvoke) to make calls to unmanaged APIs (in this case, CreateProcess).
Feature Area
Relevant APIs
Usage
To run the code sample -
Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution files are copied to the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\PocketPC\CS\GPS
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 launches and loads the solution.
-
Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).
-
Deploy the solution (F5).
Remarks
The mobile device supports GPS hardware, and make sure that the GPS hardware is setup correctly using the GPS Control Panel in Settings.
