HTC Tasks - an application using the Sense SDK to manage your Outlook tasks
I always wondered why my HD2 did not come with a replacment app for the stock tasks application, especially since Sense replaces almost everything. Anyway, I downloaded eboelzner's Sense SDK and startet writing this little app today.

Requirements:

• Windows Phone 6.x
• .netCF 3.5
• (W|Q)VGA device

Current features (very basic):

• Add Task
• Localization (English, German, Spanish; auto-detect language)
• Sense UI
• change task status
• change importance
• change subject

Future Features:

• Settings
• Change other task properties (description, due date, etc.)
• maybe other languages
• images showing importance

Localization:
Oh and I would be glad if someone could take a look at my Spanish localization and tell me if something's wrong (my grammar is miserable and I'm not familiar with the Spanish techno-babble) and maybe somebody wants to translate this into other languages as well. So please contact me via PM if you are interested in helping me.

Excellent! Sounds very promising. I also wondered why the Tasks had been left untouched by HTC....

Got your PM and thank you. I will send you the localization files before I upload the app, ok?

In my opinion pTasks is not very fingerfriedly, which is pretty important if you have a device with capacitive touchscreen.

HTC Task sounds great. I use the WinMo-Task every day... it works very good but its so ugly.

A question: Do you want the important tasks to be colored?

I encountered a really strange bug. When I change the tasks StartDate and Update the task (Task.Update()) I get a Win32 Exception. Has any other .NET CF developer an idea what could be causing this?

edit: found out what the problem was. StartDate has (logically) be before DateCompleted.

Makes me wish I knew more about coding. I'm useless when it comes to that kind of thing...

This is really great! Thanks for your efforts.

I don't know if you'd be interested in this or not, but I'd love to see an app like this that can be used as a tab in Sense.

Thanks again!

I'd like to see command line support to use it with Advanced Home Tab (Cookies Home Tab addon) to have directly access to a task.

Just to inform you: Advanced Home Tab for CHT adds the possibility to show tasks in the calendar-panel in home tab, too! You have simply to swype it to the right to show your tasks and swype to the left to go back to the appointments!

There are other programs here (ptasks and tasks manila) but the development on both of those has stopped. So hopefully you can finish off your vision before you get too busy working on something else.

You might consider making an actual tasks tab for Sense UI. That's what I've been looking for. Being integrated with Sense means I don't have to start up another application. Just a suggestion.

I'm looking forward to testing this out.
