Hi Sri: I am glad that you liked this MVP example. I do not know if there are more complex examples else where. I think that this should be enough to start using MVP and also to build quite complex solutions on MVP. Just follow the basic pattern described here.

This is really a good example of the MVP…
can you tell me where i can find more complex examples?

Hi George,
Thanks for the GPS .NET 3.0 information. I have had a quick look at it and I like what I see. By using this framework you will be able to develop a much more sophisticated GPS application than you will by using the WindowsMobile.Sample.Location project.

I will for sure consider using this framework in my pet project.
Thanx

Hey, thanks for the info.
Let me also mention you the GPS.NET 3.0

“Formerly commercial .NET component maintained by GeoFrameworks, LLC from 2004 to 2009. In 2009, Jon Person”

“…Automatic detection of serial GPS devices (or devices found via a virtual serial port”

“Support for the GPS Intermediate Driver on Windows Mobile 5.0+”

http://gps3.codeplex.com/
Here is the documentation
http://www.gpsdotnet.com/Documentation/Product36.aspx

I know you are also developing your “pet” so you may find it useful, I have tested the library and it’s briliant. A good examle for starting can be found here:
http://gps3.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=64812

Please note that is not working with the FakeGPS , you will need to debug it from your device.
The library seems to have an emulator but I haven’t looked on that yet.

OK. Microsoft have a GPS example delivered with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK. Just compile this project and add the Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Sample.Location.dll to your project and you are ready to use the GPS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158708.aspx).

You can also use the FakeGPS utility tool by Microsoft to emulate GPS in the emulator (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158722.aspx).

Good Luck!

Yeah, it is very true that it took me long time to find an easy to follow example considering that I am a new in the MVP concept.
Your sample gave me a lot of help. I am developing a GPS application using the GPS.NET 3.0 library and I have used your sample as a core. Thanks a lot!

Hi George,
I am glad that you found the post helpful. What more do you want to know about MVP-pattern?
A lot of the examples found on the internet are incomplete and not very useful, that was why I wrote this post in the first place

Thank you for this post! So far it is the best and most complete I have found on the internet that helped me to understand in practice how the MPV works.
Do you know where I can look further for any related to yours example?

Hi, Raúl,

Sure you can send the code, but I can not promise that I will be able to help you or when I will have time to look at it. My days are kinda crazy right now.
You find my contact info in the about page (www.breathingtech.com/about)

Hi Per Ola,

Ok, I am working hard to implement it, now I have a little part. A dinamic Menu generation, dinamic status bar generation, a login frame and a lot of the basic framework. I could send you the code if you want.
My idea is let this framework could work with Desktop and Web Java apps.
