  I used to be able to send texts online to mobile phones when I lived in Ireland. However, since moving back to the U.S., I can't seem to figure it out. Do <a href="http://www.commpro.ca">telephone equipment systems</a> just not work the same way here for cell phones? Any insight would be appreciated!

  The sms2cell code was exactly what I was looking for. A simple program that will be easily interfaced with my application. I have made some changes to suit my app and it works great. Thank you! Hemicro

    Daniel: Let's rule out the prospect of a bad sms address first. If you would, send a regular email message to your phone using the same address and see if it goes through. You can write me at [email protected]. Scott

    You could look at the Xignite web services; I believe they have a web service that provides gold rates.

    Scott Lysle19y agoPosted Dec 28, 2006, 3:04 AM

    If you want to develop against the 2.0 framework using the Visual Studio IDE you will need Visual Studio 2005; if you don't want to buy the 2005 IDE you can use any editor along with the SDK or you can use one of the limited but free express editions of the IDE.

  Hi, I'm Windarto I'm new in VB Net. I have problem when i'm trying to implement your code at my VB Net. Base on your code, you write on the Top of Code is Import System and Imports System.Net.Mail, but when I type Import System.Net, no methods or namespace MAIL, so when i do compile, i got some error like this Type 'mailMessage' is not Defined, Type 'smtpClient' is not defined, and Type 'smtpException' is not defined. So what I have to do, Thanks. Regard Windarto

    Windarto: This is a 2005 project and System.Net.Mail is new to 2005; are you coding in 2003 or 2005? Best Regards, Scott Lysle

    Well, it is possible to get the current location of a cell phone but it would be a little more than a modification to this code. I presume that you wish to plot the position of the phone on a map or something to that effect. There is a project that I have seen that uses Microsoft's location web service in conjunction with Microsoft MapPoint in order to display the current position of a cell phone within a GIS based construct. Take a look at this blog; there is some mention of it there but I do know there is an application with the source code provided floating around somewhere (if I find it I will let you know): http://blogs.msdn.com/cthota/archive/2004/02/22/78004.aspx In this blog, the author mentions using the phone to find out where he is (like what is my present position on the map); in the other application, the intent was to show you where a phone is (not yours specifically but any phone). Of course one could think of many interesting applications that could be built around that functionality. Thanks for the comment! Scott
