I'm not sure how to get the network provider, but the SystemParametersInfo[^] function, when you give it the correct parameters, will retrieve the other information that you need. For example, use SPI_GETPLATFORMMANUFACTURER to get the manufacturer's name. Hope that's a helpful starting point!

There is a folder named Start programs under windows directory. You should place the executable under it. What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

I think I just answered your question in the MSDN forums. For others looking for the answer you need to change your device security settins so that it will run unsigned executables. Connect your phone to your computer then in Visual Studio select Tools->Device Security Manager. From there you can change the device's security model to "Security Off" Joel Ivory Johnson J2i.net | @J2iNet

Start your thread immediatly. When the thread starts have it to create an unnamed event. After creating the event the thread can call CeRunAppAtTime and pass the event handle. Then call the Wait function using the even't handle as athe parameter. The thread will be blocked from running until the event gets triggered. For information on using CeRunAppAtTime with an event handle please see my comment at the bottom of This MSDN Documentation page[^] Joel Ivory Johnson J2i.net | @J2iNet

The practical answser to your question and the two previous ones is at http://windowsmobiledn.com/qa-how-can-i-register-my-program-to-run-at-a-certain-time/[^]. cheers, AR When the wise (person) points at the moon the fool looks at the finger (Chinese proverb)

You cannot just start a DLL. DLL requires a process to load it. So, may be you can write an application which loads your DLL and calls it's functions. And configure that application to auto-start after booting. Take a loot at following article: Automatically Starting Your Application on Windows Mobile[^]

I just answered this above, but for the sake of some one else that reads this question you shouldn't use Sleep to schedule a thread to run. Instead you must use CeRunAppAtTime. For information on using this function with an event you can see the MSDN documentation page ( here[^]) or you could see the CodeProject.com article I wrote on scheduling a program to automatically start (which is also applicable to threads ig you use the info at the above link) from here[^].

That would seem to be the first issue you need to resolve. If you do not know who is using your library then how can you expect to control it? As I said before, your design needs to be looked. This functionality belongs in an application not in a dll. txtspeak is the realm of 9 year old children, not developers. Christian Graus
