For Developers: Windows Mobile Starter Kit: Contact released by Microsoft
October 20, 2007 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.

Microsoft releases a sample application written in C# for Windows Mobile 6 Standard Devices (i.e. smartphones without touch-screen), that is accompanied with documentation and demonstrates accessing the internal contacts database. While it is not of interest to broader public it is one of several "starter kits" that Microsoft offers and that can be inspiration for both hobby and professional developers. More information:

This Microsoft Windows Mobile Starter Kit is a ready-to-run application that reads the contacts stored on the device, and displays them one at a time along with any associated image.

You can scroll through the list of contact methods (phone, email, SMS) and with a single key press, dial the number or create a blank email or SMS message.

Note This documentation assumes that you have a basic knowledge of programming concepts and the Microsoft Windows Mobile / Microsoft Visual C# development environment. You must be using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and have the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK

This Starter Kit discusses the following technologies:
  • Accessing contact data using the Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM)
  • Displaying pictures on a form, with some simple image processing
  • Reorganizing controls on a form to suit size and orientation
  • Programmatically creating phone calls, email and SMS messages.
To download this Starter Kit, click HERE. To see other Starter Kits from Microsoft, click HERE.
