Introduction

The smspdulib library is intended for more transparent interaction with SMS PDU. This thought over hierarchy of classes will allow you to create new classes for other types of short messages using the realized base functionality.

At present, the following types of short messages are supported: status report, SMS (with long (large) SMS parts support).

Hierarchy of Classes

Sample Code

This example shows you how to decode PDU.

SMSType smsType = SMSBase.GetSMSType(pduSource);
switch (smsType) {
    case SMSType.SMS:
        SMS sms = new SMS();
        SMS.Fetch(sms, ref pduSource);
        //Use instance of SMS class here
        break;
    case SMSType.StatusReport:
        SMSStatusReport statusReport = new SMSStatusReport();
        SMSStatusReport.Fetch(statusReport, ref pduSource);
        //Use instance of SMSStatusReport class here
        break;
}

This example show you how to encode SMS to PDU.

SMS sms = new SMS();
sms.Direction = SMSDirection.Submited;
sms.PhoneNumber = "+74951234567";
sms.ValidityPeriod = new TimeSpan(4, 0, 0, 0);
sms.Message = "Me message here!";
string pduSource = sms.Compose(SMS.SMSEncoding.UCS2);
