Hello

I'm deveopling a manage application for smartphone and windows CE .NET.

I need to monitor GPRS data the application. I've some problem to find some
helpfull API for this. I hope somone here can give me a clue where to look?

What do you want to monitor? Availability of GPRS, current connected state,
IP traffic, signal strength, all of the above?

Hei Peter

Thanks for a fast reply. I basically want to monitor IP traffic, amout of
bytes sent/recived.

In that case you will want to P/Invoke the IP Helper APIs which are not
documented in the SDK but are online here:-
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iphlp/iphlp/ip_helper_start_page.asp
The SDK includes the iphlpapi.h header which contains definitions of these
functions. I've used a couple with Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition, not
Smartphone but they should still be available on Smartphone.

Hi Peter,

How it is possible to know the availability of GPRS, the state of the
connection and the signal strength?

What API I have to use?

Thanks

You should be able to query these items via TAPI functions, which you'll
need to call with P/Invoke (Platform Invoke) and create definitions for the
various structures returned.
You'll need the following functions:-

lineInitializeEx - initialises TAPI
lineOpen - open a handle to the phone line object
lineGetDevStatus - to retrieve signal strength and availability
lineGetGPRSClass - will allow you to determine if GPRS is supported on the
line
lineClose - close the handle

Seperately you can use the Connection Manager APIs (There is a .NETCF
wrapper for these as part of OpenNETCF.Net.dll (www.opennetcf.org/sdf/). You
can query the connection status to see if the device has an available
network connection.
