I've got a working wrapper for the Skyhook Wireless SDK but it has some [known] bugs. I am also working on an OpenCellID wrapper and a Virtual Earth example that will make use of both services so I can't concentrate on taking care of the bugs just yet, but I promised to make the wrapper available this week so I am uploading it with the disclaimer that it is in prerelease form. I don't plan on changing the methods by much between this version and a proper release version. This code is not production ready and it confers no rights or warranties. In the attachment you will find the C wrapper (Which handles conversion between wide and ani characters among other things), the wrapper, and a simple client of the wrapper.
Using the wrapper is wasy. You only need to create a Wps object and then ask for your location.
Known Bugs:
- If you examine the WPSPROXY wrapper you will find that in some cases memory is allocaated for a wide character conversion but not released.
- I noticed if I ask for location while periodic location is active then a lockup will occur. This is either a but or something that I am not supposed to do.
Remember to ensure that WSAPI.DLL and WPSPROXY.DLL are deployed with your application.
A few simple code examples:
//Get Full Address (exception thrown if address is not available)
WPS wps = new Wps("myUserName","MyRealm");
WiFiLocation location = wps.GetWiFiLocation(StreetAddressLookupType.FullStreet);
//Get Full Address (no exception thrown if address is not available)
WPS wps = new Wps("myUserName","MyRealm");
ResultCode = wps.GetWiFiLocation(StreetAddressLookupType.FullStreet, out loc);
if(rc!=ResultCode.OK)
{
Console.out.WriteLine("Could not acquire location");
}
