    - GPRS and http Hi I posted on this last week so apologies for bringing it up again but so far after having been put on the right track (Thanks Alex F) I have found no further resources and am a bit dumbfounded. Can someone explain in (very!) simple language the steps I need to take to connect to a web server using an external GPRS modem in order that I may use HttpWebRequest. Also what each step does for me for example AT commands to....., RAS for..... Connection Manager for.... I have no problem with p/invoking and I am not really in a position to be buying licenses so you can give it to me straight. ;-) Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler? Tag: 36060

    - Pocket PC Clock On the main form of my application, I provide the user with the current datetime, similar to the pocket pc Today screen. I would like the user to be able to click that date, and bring up the built in CE Clock settings. Is there any way to instantiate this form from the compact framework? For that matter, how would you get access to other programs on the device programatically? Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler? Tag: 36056

    - Is this really so difficult? Hi I don't use .NetCF myself but have someone working for me developing a PPC app using C#. To cut a long story short the spec is for different coloured command buttons to be used rather than the default grey background, but the developer (who otherwise seems pretty good) is resisting this saying it will be a lot of work as .NetCF doesn't provide this capability natively. With PC-based languages I work with, changing the backcolor is easy peasy, either by subclassing or just setting a backcolor property. So the question, is this _really_ so difficult in .NetCF?

    - Cannot connect using GPRS and System.Data.SQLClient to remote SQL Server Hello I am developing a Pocket PC (XDA 2 - Windows Mobile 2003) application that needs to connect to a remote SQL Server 2000 database via GPRS. I am hosting a test database myself so have full control over the environment. The desktop machine currently has SQL Server 2000 (mixed mode authentication) and IIS with SQL Server 2000 CE Agent installed and all the latest service packs. The problem I am having is that I cannot connect to the remote database using System.Data.SQLClient namespace when connected via GPRS. I can use SQLClient happily when connected to the desktop machine via Activesync ? even if the desktop SQL Server does not have SQL Server CE Agent installed. However if I try the same code to connect via GPRS it refuses to connect. I can however connect via GPRS using RDA, if SQL Server CE Agent is installed and setup, but I was hoping to use the added flexibility of the SQLClient namespace. I've read that SQLClient only works in fully connected scenarios. Does this mean that it only works through Activesync? Do I need to use a different connection string when connecting over GPRS than through Activesync? Thanks for your help Paul Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler? Tag: 36042

    - Send SMS with number of sender Hello *, I created a class, which allows me to send a SMS. I used the sendSMS example from Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfSendSMS.asp) Okay, it works fine, I can send a SMS, but only without my own number. The receiver gets an anonymous message. I already tried to change some options in the code, but the SMS is still missing the number of the sender. My code: unsafe public bool sendSMS(string sPhoneNumber, string sMessage) { System.IntPtr hSms = IntPtr.Zero; IntPtr res = SmsOpen(SMS_MSGTYPE_TEXT, (IntPtr)SMS_MODE_SEND, ref hSms, IntPtr.Zero); if (res != IntPtr.Zero) return false; Byte[] bDest = new Byte[516]; Byte[] bDest2 = new Byte[516]; fixed (byte* pAddr = bDest) { fixed (byte* pAddr2 = bDest2) { byte *pCurrent = pAddr; IntPtr myNumb = SmsGetPhoneNumber((IntPtr)pAddr2); Marshal.WriteInt32((IntPtr)pCurrent, (int)AddressType.Unknown); pCurrent +=4; foreach (byte b in Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(sPhoneNumber)) { Marshal.WriteByte((IntPtr)pCurrent, b); pCurrent++; } Byte[] ProvData = new Byte[12]; byte[] bMessage = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(sMessage); int nMsgSize = bMessage.Length; res = SmsSendMessage(hSms, myNumb, (IntPtr)pAddr, IntPtr.Zero, bMessage, (IntPtr)nMsgSize, ProvData, (IntPtr)ProvData.Length, SMS_DATA_ENCODING.SMSDE_GSM, (IntPtr)SMS_OPTION_DELIVERY_NONE, IntPtr.Zero); if (res != IntPtr.Zero) return false; SmsClose(hSms); return true; } } } Any ideas, what I'm doing wrong?

    - Managing db connections on the device I have a singleton class in my data layer that opens a SQL CE db connection and assigns the connection to a member variable. This way I can open the connection only once in the application and avoid having to close and re-open it. In my data layer I have a Customers class that is derived from a BaseTable class. The BaseTable class has a DBConn property that calls a GetInstance of the connection singleton class and returns the reference to the open connection. The question I have is: have I created any conflicts with the garbage collector or am I mismanaging connection resources? In short, is my approach reasonable here, any gotchas I haven't seen? My code in Customers class looks like this: public DataTable TableAll() { try { // here's the DBConn property that gets the db connection SqlCeCommand cmd = DBConn.CreateCommand(); cmd.CommandText = "Customers"; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.TableDirect; SqlCeDataAdapter da = new SqlCeDataAdapter(cmd); DataTable table = new DataTable(); da.Fill(table); da.Dispose(); cmd.Dispose(); return table; } catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception(ex.Message); } } here's DBConn in the singleton Connection class: private SqlCeConnection m_conn; public SqlCeConnection DBConn { get { if (m_conn != null && m_conn.State == ConnectionState.Open) return m_conn; else return OpenConnection(); } } Thanks, Jeff Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler?

    - How to overcome background color related issues in asp.net - listbox on CE based browsers Hello Gurus, I am into a new arena of Windows CE/embedded XP. While launching an asp.net application into Window CE4.2 IE browser, I got into a problem with background of listbox. Though I noticed from books that background color property is not available for CE.net for .net controls, I wonder how it impacts on IE browser. I am still under assumption , it should not impact, since the web controls are flushed into IE based controls, and not Winforms. This example illustrate it further. <asp:listbox id="lstSample" runat="server" Width="400px" Height="310px" BackColor="SaddleBrown"></asp:listbox> In the Windows CE - IE browser, it gives two different behaviour. 1) If there are no contents in listbox, the background is colored with saddlebrown, which is good. 2) If there are some items in listbox, the background is half-colored white(one having contents), and other half with saddle brown. (THIS IS THE PROBLEM) Any suggestions how to overcome this problem. Thanks Whidbey Wave Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler? Tag: 36005

    - Strange RAS/WebService problem We have developed a VB.net application for Pocket PC devices, which download data from a VB.net webservice. We are currently implementing the RAS dial-up functionality (using the Sapphire libraries). On a test device (a Symbol) with a built-in modem, this works fine. The connection is made, and the data is downloaded from the webservice. However, on the actual device (an intermec 700c), which dials via a Siemens MC35 modem, we get a WebException on the call to the webservice, even though the connection is made successfully. Apart from using different hardware, the only difference is that the Symbol modem requires the extra modem dial-string command of +GCI=FD in the dial up connection, to set the region to the UK. If we try this on the Siemens modem, we don't even get a dial tone. Has anybody used this type of modem, or can tell me the correct dial-string commands, or has any idea why this should make a difference to a web service call? Thanks, Ian.

    - Optimizing for speed Due to time constraint, my last project (first one in VB.NET for us, I might add) was done 'quickly' rather that right, meaning that it is 'good enough' for the client but not the kind of project one feels proud of after delivery. I happen to have some spare time on my hands which I plan to spend optimizing the whole thing just to improve myself. One of the things I know we didn't do right, simple as it is, is the display of SQL.CE based data on grids. We just execute a query, grab all records, put them in rows and display the grid - slow as hell as you can easily guess. Given you have the data in one or several tables, what is the fastest way to display it on a grid? Fastest as in 'fastest availabity to the user', so retrieving records as needed by user interaction is fine. This is actually my first idea. Also, suppose you need one of the fields from the query not for display but for something else (i.e. you can't just feed the results to the datagrid, even if it's possible to do so, which I'm not sure). All suggestions welcome, I have the time to try them all. Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler? Tag: 35972

    - HP Mobile printing : System.MissingMethodException' exception I am trying to provide printing capability using HP Mobile Printing SDK from VS.net 2003. This SDK available to people who submit a business case proposal. Let me explain what is happening. It comes with a dll into which the code makes P/Invoke calls for providing printing facilities. The dll is made part of the project and set to content so that it is moved to the PDA when it is diployed. When I run the application on the PDA it is raising this 'System.MissingMethodException' exception' when we try to call one of the methods that they say exists in the dll. In a FAQ on HP's web site, they say the following: ********** Q: I've added 'mobile printing' to my application. Now, when I click the 'Print' button, I get a 'Missing Method' exception. How do I fix this? A: If you have followed the procedure correctly then the way you are launching the application may be causing the problem. The print application needs mPrintWrapper.dll in its path. If you are using a shortcut or a program menu to launch the application then make sure that the path is correctly set so that mPrintWrapper.dll (and CSMobilePrintClassLibrary.dll or equivalent library if you are developing VB print solution) is in application's path. *********** I am not using a short cut and the dll is copied into the directory where the exe is installed. My question is, how and where you set the path so that it can find the dll. Does any body have any idea about this. Your comments are appreciated.

    - Control names in VB Conpact Framework I'm try to develop an easy way to get a complete list of all form names, their control names and the controls text/caption properties as a starting point for an internationalization project on a fairly large project. It looked like it could just put a call to a module level sub and passing Me in all the Form.New's and then in to mod level sub enumerate the controls on the form and write them to log file. Although I can get the control type and there is a Form.Name and Control.Name property, the Name properties are not supported in Dot Net. Is there any way to get a form name or control name out of compact framework? I am taking this approach because we have fairly large project which will be internationlized to several languages and I wanted to develop a means to provide the ability for end users to modify translations instead of using a resource file. I take this approach in all my desktop code and it works great and then end user's love being able to do their own translations.

In addition I programmatically set the relevant Instl registry key to 0 to disable the dialog box informing me that the application is already installed. This works OK. However I cannot disable the dialog boxes asking me do I want to replace the already existing files with those newly extracted from the cab file.

    - serial problems I am using various P/Invoking for serial comms to communicate with a custom built device from a PPC2003 device. Everything works fine normally, however, on occasion it is required that I output a character to the custom device, collect the response data, process the data, then repeat the process any number of times (done in a thread). On occasion the custom device sends extra undesirable data (variable amount) to the PDA after I have collected the good data and before I output my new character to the serial port. What I would like to do is clear the serial buffer before I output the new character, is there any way of doing this?

If I do a hard reset of the device I can then deploy - however I would really like to use the image I restored as I have other software on there that would require quite a few things to be reinstalled manually.

    - creating a setup for vb.net I'm having trouble with successfully completing the instructions that microsoft has for creating a .MSI type installation for a project. The paper I'm refering to is titled: Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup Applications I get stuck on the creationof the custominstaller project and it's installer.vb object. I'm not sure what type of project custominstaller is and what type of item installer.vb should be (nad where to put the provided code for it) I'm sure these are simple answers since I haven't seen many post on this issue!

    - Creating a numeric-only textbox Hi! I'm trying to subclass a TextBox and make it so only numeric characters may be entered. I thought the easiest way would be to override the "OnKeyPress" method, check the data, and set the character to 0 if invalid (this worked in eVb!!!). But, it looks like this is a no-go because the character is readonly. Any ideas on how I can restrict non-numeric characters? Tag: Application.DoEvents() inside control's event handler? Tag: 35865

I've a closed-source .net system library which is a wrapper class around a
native system dll. This .net library contains of one class with serveral
public static methods for playing the buzzer, setting cpu speed,
enabling/disabling the keypad and so on. Calling functions of this library
inside control's event handlers (like OnLoad, OnGotFoucs, ...) sometimes
causes problems. Deeper investigations (using the ildasm tool) revealed,
that each and every library method calls the Application.DoEvents() method
just before returning to the caller.

Has someone an assumption why calling Application.DoEvents() inside
control's event handler causes problems? Could there be a problem with the
order the windows messages are processed?

Greetings, Christian

Hi Christian,

Application.DoEvents let's message handler process other window messages.
Is your application or library thread safe?

Thanks
