Vibrate and play sound on PDA

[steve_rm]

Hello,

VS 2008 WM 5/6

I am developing a smart device in C#.

I want to access the PDA so that is will vibrate or play a sound when a condition is meet.

for example:

if(condition is true)
vibrate the PDA and play a sound
end if

However, I am not sure how to do this in code. The only thing I can think of is using Diagnotic.Process. However, I am not sure if this is the correct way to do this.

Any suggestions would be most helpfull,

Many thanks,

Steve

Hi,
you can certainly play a wav file etc using the API and PlaySound.

For vibration, you can use the opennetcf, and I think Peter Foot has some notes on it at www.peterfoot.net

Hello,

Does the sound player only play wav files.

System.Media.SoundPlayer sp = new SoundPlayer();
sp.SoundLocation = "\\Windows\\Alarm2.wav";
sp.Play();

Is it possible to play mp3 and wma files.

When I tried this. I got this error message: "Wave file header is corrupt"

Many thanks,

Steve

You cannot play mp3 and wma.
I found a sample that may help you but you need to APIize (good ol CF 2.0 )
