I use a product called Pocket Programming Language from www.arianesoft.ca - The forum there contains a post on how to use the HTCSensorSDK.dll file within PPL.

Thats all I used;

Mike.

Come along and see us, we are always glad of new forum members and PPL users.

Wow, I didn't even know there were alternatives to Visual Studio.

Looks very nice, but I've been working with Visual Studio for too many years to switch.

Not sure how much difference there is really. I know that PPL (language wise) is very similar to C++ and the IDE while not as polished as VS, has the bonus of running on the WM device so development can be done while mobile without the need for a laptop or PC being used!

Its still a very young product, but the guys at Arianesoft are constantly improving it and fixing any bugs that are identified.

Give the trial version a shot and see if it can help you? - I had never programmed for WM devices before touching PPL. Now I create all sorts of stuff. Check the forum for things the guys have created with PPL, its impressive for such a young development language!

Mike.

I wont use anything else (Even if it can't be done in PPL - I will make it work in PPL! lol )

You can develop ON the phone?

Oh yes, you get an almost identical interface on the phone as you do on the PC!

Its great for quick development ideas, but some of our users actually use it all the time on the phone and never on the PC.

Mike.

I'll have to check it out when I get home. I already do too much WM dev at work with VS, but I have that installed for my job anyway. I'm not too sure if they'd like if I installed this.

It's there, in the cab file in the "redist" folder.
Look at acceleromter.cs in the "samples\managed\BounceDemo\Wrappers" folder for the way how to use it. It's pretty straightforward, shouldn't be a prob to port this to PPL.
