Receive infrared remote signals

[Jim]

Hi all,

Let me lay this out:

OBJECTIVE
To get my iPaq 2215 to receive signals from a consumer infrared device
(e.g. a remote control for a stereo) and then do stuff with the
signals.

NOTES
- I understand that the IR port on my iPaq is IrDA and not plain old
IR
- I am not trying to use my iPaq as a remote control for my TV, but
rather use my TV remote to control my iPaq
- I know that this must be possible as programmes like Nevo can learn
CIR codes just fine
- I would like to use C# or VB.Net and the Compact Framework if
possible (i.e. if I can avoid P/Invoke calls, I will. If you've got a
solution that uses one of them, that's fine though! )

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Jim

To my knowledge there would be now way to avoid interoperability with
native code in this scenario.
