getting callog

[Mustafa Rabie]

hi all,
does anyone has a sample application the uses the opennetcf.phone.callog
class?
i wrote a function that returns reads the calllog and returns a list of the
CallLogEntry(s) that has missed call types, here's the function's code:

private OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogEntry[] GetAllMissed()
{
OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLog cCallLog = new CallLog();

OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogEntry[] aRet;

try

{

int n = cCallLog.Seek(OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogSeek.End,0);

for (int i=0; i < n; i++)

{

if (cCallLog.CallType == OpenNETCF.Phone.CallType.Missed)

{

aRet = cCallLog;

}

}

}

catch (Exception err)

{

string s = err.Message;

}

return aRet;

}



I know that i have to initialize the array b4 using it, but i donno how
since there's no constructor for CallLogEntry class i.e. i can't do the
following

OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogEntry myEntry = new CallLogEntry();

so how can i initialize the array? since i want to have a dynamic array that
has a length of the number of entried returned,

i do the following with string arrays n it works fine but it doesn't work
with this

string[] myStringList = myString.Split('\\'); // this works gr8

Your help is really appreciated

thanks

function returns

Since you want a resizable collection, one easy way is to use an ArrayList.
Create an ArrayList then as you return each record add it to the ArrayList.
Then at the end you can create a fixed length array from the contents of the
ArrayList of a specific type - CallLogEntry in this case. You also might
find it more efficient to use a for each loop e.g.

private OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogEntry[] GetAllMissed()
{
OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLog cCallLog = new CallLog();
ArrayList alMissed = new ArrayList();

foreach(CallLogEntry entry in cCallLog)
{
if(entry.CallType == OpenNETCF.Phone.CallType.Missed)
{
alMissed.Add(entry);
}
}

return
(OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogEntry[])alMissed.ToArray(typeof(OpenNETCF.Phone.CallLogEntry));
}
