Rolling Your Own Exchange ActiveSync Client

I got my hands dirty with ActiveSync two weeks back (http://mobilitydojo.net/2010/03/17/digging-into-the-exchange-activesync-protocol), and shared the results with you here. I also mentioned that doing the things I did required a few lines of code since not everything could be done in Fiddler. Because of this I promised you I had something in the works to let you actually play around too, without cracking open your Visual Studio, and now I’m trying to make good on this promise :)

I introduce to you, the first beta release of “Exchange ActiveSync MD”. It is a desktop app that will let you emulate a device connecting to ActiveSync. Yes, it is similar to what www.testexchangeconnectivity.com, but I only focus on EAS, and I have a couple of options not present in the ActiveSync test MSFT provide. It will require you to have .Net 3.5 installed on your computer – I’ve tested it running on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, but it should work on other Windows versions too with .Net present. It will not require an installation, and you can just run the .exe file itself.

Lazy Dialing Made Accessible

Have you ever been ever so slightly lazy when it comes to making phone calls? No, I don’t mean procrastinating when it comes to making calls you for some reason don’t feel like you’re in a hurry to do. But the kind of laziness where you feel it’s a hassle to pick up the phone to send an sms, and end up doing it on your desktop instead. I have a plug-in in Outlook that will let me send sms, or I could do it via something built upon Kannel, etc, so that’s sorted though. I decided to have a look at something similar for making calls from the desktop.
