Question

I m writing an application for a Windows Mobile phone in VB.Net, and I would like to read SMSs from the phone s memory. According to MSDN, the SMSAccount class is what I need:

 SmsAccount Class
 Provides access to a Outlook Mobile Short Message Service (SMS) account, the account s SMS folders, and the SMS messages they contain.

However, the SMSAccount Class only has one interesting method, aka Send (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsmobile.pocketoutlook.smsaccount_members.aspx), and I can t figure out how to access the actual messages.

I ve found examples on the web which suggest to use the smsAccount.Inbox property, which I can t manage to find. I got this code for example :

Dim smsAcc As SmsAccount
Dim smsFdr As SmsMessageFolder
smsFdr = smsAcc.Inbox

But I cant find either of the SmsMessageFolder class and the Inbox property.

How do I access smss?

Thanks for your help, CFP.

I found this link...

It seems to suggest there is no easy way to do it. I noticed when I did a search for this that this company do a third party implementation. I don t know much about them except it seems to be the suggested answer on several forums (so you may already know about it).

You may want to go native or write your own wrapper for some native implementations (1) (2)
