Features of Tools being used

Visual Basic.NET:
Microsoft Visual Basic (called VB) is a new programming language designed for building a wide range of enterprise applications that run on the .NET Framework. An evolution of Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual Basic .NET is simple, modern, type safe, and object oriented. Visual Basic .NET code is compiled as managed code, which means it benefits from the services of the common language runtime. These services include language interoperability, garbage collection, enhanced security, and improved versioning support. Visual Basic .NET leverages the Microsoft .NET Framework to provide a rich set of built-in types that you can use when building your own classes. A subset of these types can be used for interacting with other .NET languages. The .NET Framework also provides an extensive class library that you can use and extend with Visual Basic .NET. As with all object-oriented languages, Visual Basic .NET promotes reuse through classes. A class defines a type as well as the methods and properties that are used to interact with instances of the type. For example, a class that represents an animal might include methods that represent the animals activities (such as eating and sleeping) and properties that represent its characteristics (such as color or size). The main design goal of Visual Basic .NET is simplicity rather than pure power. You do give up a little processing power, but you get cool stuff like type safety and automatic garbage collection in return. Visual Basic .NET can make your code more stable and productive overall, meaning that you can more than make up that lost power in the long run. Visual Basic .NET offers several key benefits for programmers: o Simplicity o Consistency o Modernity

mCore Messaging Tools: mCore .NET SMS Library is a powerful and easy to use class library that can be used to build powerful .NET applications for mobile messaging using GSM mobile phones or GSM modems connected to serial port or infrared port. Using mCore .NET SMS Library in your applications allows you to:

Send text messages Read incoming text messages Send WAP Push over SMS Send vCard over SMS Send vCalendar over SMS Set various messaging and network parameters (PIN, SMSC, Message Memory etc) Read modem and network information (Manufacturer, IMEI, Model, Signal Strength etc)

Rich set of properties, methods and its compatibility with wide range of GSM mobile phones and GSM modems makes mCore .NET SMS Library the best choice for any type of mobile messaging application. Key Features: 1. Send Text Messages

Send text messages by simply specifying the destination mobile number and the text message. Send text messages with delivery report request. Can send 160 character messages with default 7-bit character encoding (as per ETSI GSM 03.38) and 140 character messages with 8-bit encoding. Can send 70 character messages in international languages using 16-bit Unicode (UCS2) encoding. Allows delivery format selection for long messages (e.g. Truncate, Split, Concatenate and Formatted Split). Can send flash (alert) messages that are immediately displayed on destination phone screen. Specify validity period of the text message. Allows changing of SMSC stored in modem or phone. Supports destination numbers and SMSC number in international as well as national format. Allows setting of minimum time delay interval two consecutive messages to avoid delivery failure during a network busy period.

23

2008

SMS Based Information System

Specify maximum number of retries in case of delivery failure when sending text message.

2. Send WAP Push

Send WAP Push (Service Indication) over SMS through GSM Modem or Phone by specifying URL and text message as per WAP-167-ServiceInd-20010731-a specification. Option to specify action type (e.g. signal-low, signal-medium, signal-high etc). Option to specify content created or last modified date and time. Option to specify si-expires attribute i.e. a date and time when the WAP Push link will expire.

3. Send vCard

Send vCard over SMS through GSM Modem or Phone by specifying Name, Home Contact Details, Business Contact Details etc as vCard version 2.1 specification. Option to specify Home Phone, Business Phone & Mobile Phone numbers separately. Option to specify Home Street Address and Business Street Address separately. Option to specify other vCard details viz. Email, Website, Comment etc.

4. Send vCalendar

Send vCalendar over SMS through GSM Modem or Phone by specifying Event Description & Summary, Event Location, Start Date & Time, End Date & Time etc as per vCalendar version 1.0 specification. Option to specify Event Date & Time or Event Duration. Option to specify Event description and/or Event summary. Automatically picks up GMT Time-Zone settings of the sending computer to ensure that the vCalendar is saved in recipient's mobile device as per its Time-Zone settings.

5. General Features

All members (properties & methods) that require serial communication are completely thread safe and are queued inside the library for sequential execution. Extensive use of enumerators to simplify programming. Well categorized and structured exceptions. Connect to GSM Modem or Phone through physical serial port or virtual serial port (e.g. Infrared, USB to Serial Converter, Bluetooth etc). Specify serial communication parameters like COM Port, Baud Rate, Stop Bits, Parity, Flow Control etc. Specify PIN for connecting to network using PIN protected SIM card. Read various network information (e.g. GSM Signal Strength, Network Identification etc) Extensive error handling with error codes and descriptions to easily identify error cause.
