    - Top Five OpenNETCF I've just now started to get into the Smart Device Framework and was wondering what the top five or ten handiest features were from those that have really gotten into using it. I've got a chance to completely rewrite an app which scans, prints, needs to transparently sync incrementally, will use a web service and also RDA Pull . Are there features that have made life a lot easier that are your favorites? TIA Harry Tag: ANN: New Article: Getting a Millisecond-Resolution DateTime under Windows CE Tag: 85194

    - quickstart tips for smartphone development Hi, We'd like to create an app for a mobile phone using the .NET CF. Can you please post a few quick tips or links on the following issues: - How do you typically access (if at all) phone functionality such as vibration-alarm or other phone-specific functionality? Do you need DLLs from the phone-manufacturer, and do they typically provide them freely? - We have experience with C# and Visual Studio, are there good starting points that point out typical traps? If I need to provide more/other/specific info please let me know. Thanks. -Jeroen Tag: ANN: New Article: Getting a Millisecond-Resolution DateTime under Windows CE Tag: 85173

    - Cannot use "Tab" button in textbox to foucs on other control Hi! All. I got some problem in developing .net CF program. My situation is that. I have two Textboxes in a form, my boss need me to well define the tab index although it is a smart device program. However, in some cases, after I inputted some characters in the a textbox and then I press "Tab" button either my keyboard or emulator input keyboard, the program is still focused on the original textbox but not focused on the next textbox or control. I found that if I input one alphabet or some 2 and 3 alphabet combination, the problem occurred. If I input more than 3 alphabets, the "Tab" button work normally. Is this the bug of .net CF? Can it be solved? Thanks for help. Tag: ANN: New Article: Getting a Millisecond-Resolution DateTime under Windows CE Tag: 85172

    - Timer Tick in compact framework I am experimenting with some graphics using vb.net/compact framework. I have a Timer which is supposed to fire every 100 milliseconds to update a graphic. When the application runs (in either the runtime as a emulator or on the actual PDA) the graphics only update once per second. Is there some limitation to the timer? The timer shows the interval as being 100 yet the graphics do not update that fast. They do update exactly once each second. There is little actually going on for this animation (drawing a couple of lines) Is there some way to get the event to fire more rapidly?

    - activesync passthrough in merge replication Hello I have been seeing some conflicting information on this subject in various forums. I have a WIndows Mobile 5 app that uses SQL Server CE 2005 and user merge replication to sync with SQL Server 2005. Most of our users right now are connecting wirelessly via http and IIS to sync. Does activesync 4 and above still support passthrough connections for http or does it not? If it does, what ports need to be open?

    - Newbie: start external program like Shell() function Hi to all, I've started programming vb.net last week and I'm a newbie... I'm programming an application for my navigation system. 1) Development tool is: MS Visual Studio .Net 2003 - SP1 2) Navigation system is equipped with: a) MS Windwows CE .net 5.00 b) MS .NET Compact Framework 1.0.4292.00 I've a question for you: I wish to "start external program" programmatically, on button click event. I'm Visual Basic v. 6.0 expert and Shell(), ShellExecute() and ShellExecuteEx() were very useful, but into vb.net language they are not!??? I wish the vb.net equivalent of vb60 instruction: retVal=Shell("\MySubDir\Notepad.exe", vbShow) I've tried "ShellExecute API" but gives me a NotSupportedException I've tried to use "Process class" but I've not found it into CF. I explain better... following a summary of my code into form "frmNavSystem.vb" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Public Class frmNavSystem Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form .......................... blà blà blà ..................... Private Sub pcxButton_TopLeft_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles pcxButton_TopLeft.Click Call ExecuteExternalProgram("\MySubDir\MyApp.exe", "\MySubDir\") End Sub .......................... blà blà blà .....................

    - Native Error w/ CF2 SP2 I've got an app that I deploy to a symbol MC70 device running Windows Mobile 5. The device actually comes with CF1 SP3 RTM on it. I have installed the CF2 RTM cab file NETFv2.wm.armv4i.cab 2/2/2005 and it installs the CF2 RTM 2.0.5238.0 just fine and the applications works great. The problem is when I substitute the CF2 SP2 cab and install 2.0.7045.0 - I then try to start up my application and the program errs out before it can even stop with a natve error in the application exe message. How does VS2005 get updated to compile and run against CF2 SP2 environment? Why can't I run my app after CF2 SP2 is installed??

    - Problem with datagrid - ObjectDisposedException when second time dispose Hello, I am still learning C#, so please bear with me. I have a two Form, from first I open second form with datagrid. When I Dispose datagrid second time I get a ObjectDisposedException. In first (main) form I have a button with code under onclick event: temp_n = this.Text; this.Text = string.Empty; Form1 frm1 = new Form1; frm1.ShowDialog(); frm1.Dispose(); this.Text = temp_n; and in second form: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ceCmd = Global.DatabaseConnection.CreateCommand(); ceCmd.CommandText = "select col1,col2 from table"; ceCmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; ceResSet = ceCmd.ExecuteResultSet(ResultSetOptions.Scrollable); dataGrid1.DataSource = ceResSet; } and private void Form1_Closed(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (ceResSet != null) { ceResSet.Close(); ceResSet.Dispose(); } if (dataGrid1 != null) dataGrid1.Dispose(); } and when I twice opened and closed second Form i get a ObjectDisposedException on "if (dataGrid1 != null) dataGrid1.Dispose();" it's strange to me because when i put button on second form and add event: private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (ceResSet != null) { ceResSet.Close(); ceResSet.Dispose(); } if (dataGrid1 != null) dataGrid1.Dispose(); this.Close(); } everything is OK. So i tried put datagrid1.Dispose() on override OnClosing and override OnClosed but with no change - DisposedException still occurs. So, what I'm doing wrong?

    - Function key stuck on in Windows Mobile 6 device in Textboxes I have a very strange problem with a new Sprint 6800 Windows Mobile 6 device. When I use the popout keyboard, it always acts like the function key is stuck on. This happens in a single line or multi-line textbox. The SIP works fine. The Fn light goes on and off when I press the Fn (blue dot) key, but the keystrokes always show up as if the function key was on. This same app works fine on at least 10 other mobile device models that we have deployed. The keyboard works fine in all other apps (Word, notes, contacts, etc.), so it seems to be a .NET related issue. I have Googled the problem and came up with nothing. Any idea what to try??

    - HttpWebRequest in .NET CF 2.0 - Sent XML File over 34K Corrupted I have a .NET CF 2.0 Mobile Application that sends "collected data" to a HTTPS Server (running Apache under Windows 2000) and the XML file (SOAP) containing the collected data "occasionally" appears corrupted on the server side, but only when the XML file is greater than 34K in size, and cannot be properly parsed as an XML Document due to missing / corrupt XML Tags. I say "occasionally" because I cannot reproduce this error myself and only a few of our customers (2-3 out of 70) using the mobile application have experienced this situation. The XML file is never corrupt as long as it is under 34K in size. In an attempt to reproduce this error I have sent "collected data" files as large as 125K without any XML errors and did so using various Internet Connections, i.e. using our corporate intranet, the Internet via ADSL from my home and using ActiveSync running on a Desktop Machine connected to our intranet and the Internet. I have NEVER been able to reproduce this error which led me to believe that the problem was due to hardware failures of the mobile device itself or the customers network, but after extensive research and testing this does not appear to be the problem either. Also, the "collected data" itself does not contain any characters that would violate the XML standard and I went so far as to add some code to the mobile application that validates the XML Structure prior to sending the data to the host server and the structure is always validated before sending but arrives at the host server corrupted!! I am assuming that the HTTPS / TCP/IP protocols will handle corrupt packets via the packet checksum and request the packet again, so I don't think data is being corrupted during its trip to the host server but instead is actually corrupt when being transmitted from the mobile device itself, hence the packet checksums are always correct. The mobile device is a Symbol MC3090 running WinCE 5.0 and Symbol (now Motorola) has no mention of any "data corruption" within their knowledgebase regarding these devices. I have read the Microsoft Article (ID 831578) regarding "Memory Leak When SSL and Client Certificates are Used With the HttpWebRequest Object" but am unsure if this applies to the .NET CF 2.0. We are using HTTPS / SSL and I am using the standard example given for the LocalCertificatePolicy.CheckValidationResult to eliminate certificate problems such as mismatched certificate and machine names but I do not ignore an invalid certificate. Originally I was using .NET CF 1.1 when I created this application and ran into a .NET CF bug regarding the use the HttpWebRequest class over HTTPS whereby the workaround was to set AllowWriteStreamBuffering = True and to not specify the ContentLength property. Even though the project has been upgraded to .NET CF 2.0 I am still abiding by the workaround for the .NET CF 1.1 bug. Is this still an issue in .NET CF 2.0? An example of the corrupted xml data: (closing tag of </ItemEnterpriseName> is corrupt and opening <ItemName> tag is missing along with the data itself) <Name>DEFAULT</Name> <ItemEnterpriseName>Comtech Data</ItemEnterpriseNa4A</ItemName> <SiteEnterpriseName>Comtech Data</SiteEnterpriseName> ... data continues ... The data should have appeared as: <Name>DEFAULT</Name> <ItemEnterpriseName>Comtech Data</ItemEnterpriseName> <ItemName>IC/SO-NC7SBU3157</ItemName> <SiteEnterpriseName>Comtech Data</SiteEnterpriseName> ... data continues ... Any assistance in the matter would be tremendously appreciated!!! Thank you, Greg Hellem Tag: ANN: New Article: Getting a Millisecond-Resolution DateTime under Windows CE Tag: 85046

    - Button Click & Listview events not triggered Hi. We have a smart device app written in VB.NET, CF2.0 which has a form with listview & buttons. On this particuar form, sometimes when you click the listview or the buttons, the Listview.SelectedIndexChanged & Button.Click events are only triggered the second time you click them. Sometimes it's the first time. We want it triggered on the first click. We've tried the listview.activation property set to standard, oneclick & twoclick. no effect. Cant see anything else on the button, listview or form properties which may relate to this. Also, this is only happening on one form, and not others in the same app. Does anyone have any suggestions of what may be the cause?? Thanks. Ian.

    - Strange(?) behaviour of SqlCeConnection Hello, I observe a strange behaviour of SqlCeConnection disposing. I have a simple class to connect to DB with one static SqlCeConnection namespace SOMETHING { /// <summary> /// This singleton class holds the common application values. /// </summary> sealed class Common : IDisposable { // Singleton instance variable (Values) public static readonly Common Values = new Common(); private Common() { Load(); } public void Load() { this.databaseConnection = new SqlCeConnection(LocalConnectionString); } public void DbOpen() { if (this.databaseConnection.State != ConnectionState.Open) this.databaseConnection.Open(); } #region Properties private SqlCeConnection databaseConnection; public SqlCeConnection DatabaseConnection { get { return databaseConnection; } set { databaseConnection = value; } } public string LocalConnectionString { get { return "Data Source=" + localDbPath + localDbName + "; Password = test"; } } public string AppPath { get { return Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase); } } #endregion #region Dispose public void Dispose() { if(this.databaseConnection.State != ConnectionState.Closed) this.databaseConnection.Close(); if (this.databaseConnection != null) { this.databaseConnection.Dispose(); this.databaseConnection = null; } //czy zapisywac zmiany przy usuwaniu obiektu? //Save(); } #endregion ~Common() { //Dispose(); } } } and from Form1.cs code I do Common.Values.DbOpen(); in Form1 on load event and Common.Values.Dispose(); in Form1 closing event and everything is ok. But when I uncomment Dispose in Common destructor and not use Common.Values.Dispose() in Form1 closing event application hang on this.databaseConnection.Close() in Dispose function. Why?

    - Using "DirectShow" with C# in the Compact Framework along with WM6 Hello all, I am trying to develop an application using C# and .NetCF on Windows Mobile 6. I need to use the "DirectShow" api in order to preview video and take a still shot with the built-in camera. I have tried using the built-in camera dialog that comes with WM6 but it is limited and does not do some of the things that I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer me some sample C# .NetCF code that will help out? Thanks in advance, -- Noble D.

    - WebRequest Methods Does Compact Framework have WebRequest methods, such as HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse? If not, how do I talk to a Web Service that doesn't use standard SOAP protocols? Also, is there an easy way to separate the documentation for Compact Framework in Visual Studio, so that you are not sorting through all the Framework methods that don't apply. -- Regards, Fred Chateau fchateauAtComcastDotNet Tag: ANN: New Article: Getting a Millisecond-Resolution DateTime under Windows CE Tag: 84971

    - Delete from file I know that it generally isn't possible to delete a part of a file, but I'll pop this question anyway in case there is a good idea out there: I have a program that runs on a PDA with e.g. 32MB storage. The program generate a file and if the file exceed 16MB I do not have the possibility to delete a single character from the file, because I normally will have to create a new file without the character and after that delete the original file ---- or what????
