Re: Checking if device is docked - please help

If you resolve PPP_PEER on any version of Windows Mobile, I think you should
get something if you are docked, and nothing if you are not.

If you're using Windows Mobile 5.0 or higher then you should check out the
CradlePresent SystemState from the SNAPI (Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status)

This is driving me mad, i'm using the below code:

public static bool IsDeviceDocked()
{
bool bRetVal = false;
try
{
string sHostName = Dns.GetHostName();

IPHostEntry ipheThisHost = Dns.GetHostByName(sHostName);
IPAddress ipThisAddr = ipheThisHost.AddressList[0];

string ip = ipThisAddr.ToString();
string localhost =
IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1").ToString();

if (ip == localhost)
{
bRetVal = false;
}
else
{
bRetVal = true;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// TODO: Add your own exception handling here
}
return bRetVal;
}

Basically, if i start the application while it's docked then it returns
true
(as it should), if the application is started docked but then unplugged
it
still returns true, if i start it unplugged then it returns false.

What is a reliable way of telling if it's docked or not? Nothing seems to
work for me.

Thanks guys
