CE Battery Level

[Dmyze]

I am trying to figure out how to monitor the battery level on a CE Device. The idea is once the battery gets to a certain level it will backup it's database onto a storage card and prompt the user to recharge.

I read the following article:

See "Windows CE API"

I have put all this code into my program and it complies fine, but when I try to run it the device crashes with "Not Supported" Exception.

Hi,
the OpenNETCF (www.opennetcf.org) has a function for getting battery status, amongst many other functions

It is open source
