You can do that using OpenNetCF or InTheHand 3rd party components.
There is some native code here (http://www.teksoftco.com/articles/article%20007/radiodevices.htm)

I cant understand the native code, it was written in visual C++..

do you have samples in VB.NET?

[petevick]

No - that is why I pointed you at the native code

[rothj0hn]

OMG.. i just cant understand the code, i havent seen any program written in that language.. Thanks anyway.. Can anybody write the code in vb9?

[petevick]

You would be better with InTheHand or OpenNETCF - as they have done all the work already.
Neither of them cost vast sums of money.

OpenNetCF would give you a signature control too. The community edition is free

Hey,

The code is making calls into the core windows api's.

You should be able to find some help here:
