Sending IR

[GrOrH]

I'm am attempting to write a universal remote control application for my HP
iPaq 4150 to use my TV/Video et al. I have developed applications using VS
..NET and the .NET CF. How do I get my app to beam an IR signal (i.e. not to
connect to a detected IR device, but to beam remote control style)?
Is it possible? I have seen apps for sale that claim to do what I want but I
want to write my own. I can't seem to find much info about the .NET CF IR
APIs.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

The .NET Compact Framework's IR class library supports IrDA and not
consumer IR. You will need to p/invoke to a native API supporting consumer
IR to be able to write a universal remote control application (provided
that the iPaq's IR device supports consumer IR).
