Rory,
Another great webcast, thanks!
Is there a way to install a service onto a Windows Mobile 5.0 device? It seems that the SNAPI would really shine as a service to notify, or run, other applications when certain events occur. I am working on an app that, on sync, needs to get a file from the
local computer, that gets manipulated, then sent back once work is complete. If I could run a service that responded to the ActiveSync, or Cradled, states, I could start the app to transfer files, or do it directly from the service.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am trying to use the MessagingMmsUnread Windows Mobile API (under SNAPI) in the following line:
MMScount.Text = SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.MessagingMmsUnread).ToString();
The application is generating an error on a WM 5.0 device with NETCF 2.0 installed.
Doing some research on MSDN and other places online, I found very few uses of or references to this particular MMS API.
Does it actually work? How can I make it work?
I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
Thanks.
