In OpenGL- Rotate, Scale and Translate I took a very simple example of transforming some text but what happens if you want to do something more complex. For example you want to have a pair of strings that you can transform around the screen together ...

In my previous post, OpenGL ES Wrapper- Your First Application , you would have seen that we were creating a GlyphRun that we then draw. This is actually a wrapper class that handles all the processing required to draw the text on the screen. However...

In my previous post on Getting Started with OpenGL on Windows Mobile I talked about taking the existing OpenGL ES wrapper by Koushik Dutta and extending it to make it easier to work with. In this, and subsequent posts, I’ll show you how you can...

There are a number of good posts on working with OpenGL on Windows Mobile via the .NET Compact Framework but one thing I’ve noticed is that they don’t really try to wrap the OpenGL functionality in a way that makes it reusable as an application/game framework...

Well the cat’s out of the bag… actually no all that’s happened is that Microsoft has confirmed that one of the cats that was in the bag is now dead: The rumour that legacy applications will run on Windows Phone 7 series is officially dead with Charlie...

Yesterday Charlie Kindel tweeted about this session planner that can be used for MIX. What’s really interesting about this Silverlight application is that it has the ability to synchronise data and work offline. Having noticed this (which you can hardly...

Today I decided to do something quite innocuous, or so I thought, on an existing application that happened to use LINQ to SQL. I needed to add an additional field to an existing table which I did quite easily via SSMS. However, when I came to update the...

In my previous post I talked about Microsoft and the enterprise and how it had help shape Windows Mobile 6.x. Now I want to look at some of the implications of this strategy, specifically looking at how the attitude towards touch input has changed over...

If you ask most users what they think of Windows Mobile they either don’t know what it is (most non-techie consumers) or they shudder saying that slow, overly complex phone that I never use now I have…. Anyone would think that Windows Mobile smells. I...

Since it’s announcement over a week ago the question on all our lips is “what’s the development story going to be?” Whilst there has been countless rumours regarding support for Silverlight (perhaps third time’s like for this can of worms….) and XNA it...

On the way from the airport into the Melbourne CBD I read the ZDNet Review of the Motorola Devour and I think it confirms my view that Android, whilst perhaps a great operating system for OEMs to build on, lacks anything at all that would draw me to the...

As you’ve no doubt seen Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 series last week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. I guess I’ll start off with the mandatory “here’s what it looks like” piece: Here’s a couple of screenshots for you to go “oh-ah” over...

Get it while it's hot from the download center . The content in my original overview of the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 SDK is still accurate. However the installation issues have been resolved and there is a bunch of things (like the help files and the...

As some of you will be aware there was a first attempt at releasing the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK ( now missing ) earlier this month. Despite a number of bits being missing or not installed correctly there are definitely some good bits coming in the DTK...

According to Twitter, which Microsoft clearly believes as the best way to communicate to its developer community, the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK has been pulled. Note that whilst this acknowledges that the SDK wasn’t properly tested there is apology to a...
