Calendar alarm

[Jeff]

Has anyone implemented an alarm like the one used with WindowsMobile
Calendar? I'm writing a program (C#) that allows a user to set
a date and time for meetings, appointments, etc. and have a MessageBox
pop-up when the set dateTime occurs. I don't even know where
to begin and am looking for a point in the right direction. The app is C#
compact framework and the dateTime object is stored in a
SQLCE database.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Jeff

Well, we've been talking, at times, about CeRunAppAtTime(). There's code in
OpenNETCF to wrap it (it's an API call), and to use it. There's also an
OpenNETCF sample that shows using it to release a thread at a given time.

You can also use it to start your application, if it's not running, at the
time of your event.
