Hello,

I am interested in developing an application that records sounds and
takes pictures and then does some analysis on the data. Does the CF
have some classes for sound recording/image capture? If not, are there
managed APIs available for this task?

Thanks.

Hi,

There is an API to work with camera (image capture), see this topic:

OpenNETCF's Smart Device Framework has a wrapper for audio recording and
playing. I've never used it, but it seems like a good starting point.
www.opennetcf.com.

Thanks for the answers. I'll look into the OpenNETCF framework. The
camera capture example is of unmanaged code. Sure, it's better than
nothing, but I was wondering if there was a managed wrapper
available.

That depends on what version of Windows Mobile and what version of .NET CF
you will be targeting. There is camera dialog, at least, support in WM5 and
.NET CF 2.0. I'm not a WM guy, for the most part, so I'm not sure whether
the camera support will give you the ability to silently capture a photo and
grab the bitmap or not, but you should be able to pop up the camera program
and ask the user to shoot a picture...
