    - How to show the wait cursor? Hi, How to show the wait cursor? From the VS2005 documentation it is supposed the Application class has the UseWaitCursor property. But it looks like this property is not enabled on the compact framework. I tryed the code from http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2002/May/GettingQuotesInPocketPC.asp [DllImport("coredll.dll")] private static extern int LoadCursor(int zeroValue, int cursorID); [DllImport("coredll.dll")] private static extern int SetCursor(int cursorHandle); but VS2005 says syntax is wrong on the above code.

    - OpenNETCF Serial - strings struncated by NULL char Dear all, I am having some trouble using the OpenNETCF libraries. Actually It's VB.NET related. My data being read from the serial port is being truncated in some way. This is what I do. <Snippet> Dim sBuffer As String = "" Dim Buffer(MasterPort.InBufferCount - 1) As Byte Buffer = MasterPort.Input sBuffer = sBuffer + UCase(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length)) </Snippet> I am expecting to read a 6 byte command from the port and this is what is reported by sBuffer.Length. However if one of the chars is the string is = 0 the string is truncated. Chars up to the 0 char can be read using sBuffer.Substring(x,y) those including the 0 char and afterwards cannot. How can I get around this problem ? Thanks Anbeyon Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64390

    - Communication architecture Hi, we have two devices running the .Net Compact Framework. One has to maintain the other (file upload/download, configure settings, ...) via an infrared port. What is the best way to do something like this? - IrDA? What if some devices have a newer software version installed and others a older version? - Web Server? Pro: No version problem. How good is the integration into a .Net Compact Framework Application? (The application of the device to be maintained has at least 2 states: "in service" and "in maintenance". The Web Server would only handle the maintenance part! If the application is "in service" mode, the other device is not available. In that situation the application is not controlled by a GUI!) - Web Service? - other? Thanks a lot for your inputs. -Puce Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64385

    - Emulator does not connect to the LAN... Hi, I'm trying to set up my Visual Studio 2005 to develop a project for a device that will be connected to the corporate Sql Server 2000 database via a wireless LAN. The problem is I can't configure the emulator to be connected to the LAN. I've tryed both approach: through the Visual Studio Tools/Options/Device Tools/Devices/Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator/Properties/Emulator Options/Network Tab/Enable NE2000 PCMCIA network adapter and bind to: "connected network card"; and I also tryed to directly configure the emulator on Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Network Cards/NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver by setting the same IP address of my PC and a IP address non used on my own network segment. Neither of these approaches work. To test if the emulator is correctly configured I use the Internet explorer on the device and point it to my intranet web server. As a result the emulator raises a dialog that say: "Unable to connect: You have no modem entries created, and no network card present." What I'm doing wrong? How to configure Visual Studio to set up the emulator as a wireless enabled device? Thanks in advance Sammy Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64373

    - c# smart device dll Hi, My intention was to build a c# application for smart devices using VS 2005 that is based on a dll. I created a dll using eVC that worked well (I could access that dll by an eVC client app). Trying to port that to c# did not work. I used Dllimport and put the dll into the project dir and into the windows dir on the emulator. I get a system.mssingmethodexception "can't find dll". The transportation to the emulator was done manually. The dll was built for pocket pc 2003 (armv4) and the client app was any cpu. As I am a newbie, maybe I am missing a basic thing? Thanks Ivonne.

My application provides the ability to change culture which worked fine in PPC 2003SE but no longer works in Mobile 5.0.

    - PtrToStructure killing pointers I am using .NETCF 2.0.5238.0 and presently (as VS2005 is unavailable in Germany) still VS .NET 2003 I am working on interop between an unsave C-written DLL and C#. Now, in a constructor of a class I am trying to get a structure copied from unsafe to a safe structure (class actually) using Marshal.PtrToStructure (IntPtr, Object). Returning from here my pointer goes to 0. What am I missing? I tried the same with Marshal.PtrToStructure (IntPtr, Type) and IntPtr is not null thereafter (but as I am using it in the constructor I guess I need to use the first one). Regardless which version is used, the managed structure/class properly receives the values from the unmanaged side Thanks ahead for any help!! tb PS: here's the code: . . public IntPtr cp; //constructor public WrapCP() { cp = myUnsafeDll_new(); log.Debug("cp initialized " + (int)cp); // this confirms a non zero return value Marshal.PtrToStructure(cp,this); //this properly fills the struct/class log.Debug("cp now " + (int)cp); // cp now points to 0 } Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64339

This data is sent over the LAN in dataSet object (not string etc.) - the problem now is that Mobile devices project in VS2003 (C#) has no data-set object so I can not call those rwo methods on web-server.

Hi all, I'm starting my first project with .NET for Pocket PC by using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. My first shock: it is no GroupBox control on my Toolbox for the default created Device Application project created by VS. Which reference should I Add to my project to "see" the GroupBox? Or may be it is not available for the PocketPC? Ok, no GroupBox, then the Panel control should do the work. But it is here the second shock: The documentation says it should be a BorderStyle property to make the border solid and visible, but at least it is not available at design time 'cause I can't find it in my Properties...

    - ListView ItemCheck is always one behind?? VB I am using Visual Studio 2005 (visual basic) and Compact Framework 2.0 I have a ListView that will contain several Items. The ListView has checkboxes enabled. Whenever the user clicks on a checkbox to change it (check or uncheck) I want to indicate how many items are currently checked. This routine below looks correct to me, but each time I check or uncheck the number reported back is always the previous count and not the current count of items that are checked. Private Sub ListView1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemCheck Dim CheckCount As Integer Dim NItem As ListViewItem CheckCount = 0 For Each NItem In ListView1.Items If NItem.Checked Then CheckCount = CheckCount + 1 end if Next Msgbox("Number of items checked are: " & CheckCount) End Sub Can anybody tell me why the CheckCount is always behind? For example if no items are checked and then I check one item, the checkcount is still zero. When I uncheck that same item then the checkcount is now 1. It is like the state of being checked or unchecked for any item happens after the ItemCheck event in the ListView. I looked for an ItemChecked event but no such event shows. Help!

    - Setup.dll and CEAppMgr If I want to use a setup.dll to customize my installation, do I need to use the process described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/netcfdeployment.asp? I.e., if I'm using setup.dll, is it true that I can't do it deploying the CAB directly to the device, but rather that I must use CEAppMgr? Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64228

    - Printing options ( a little OT ) Hi, I need to print from a PPC to a printer , ideally a dot matrix printer ala Epson LX300 , LQ580. I know there is no support for printing in the current environment. I'm deciding in using either PrinterCE ( http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PrinterCE.htm ) or PrintBoy: (http://www.bachmannsoftware.com/pbce.htm) both provides an SDK for dotnet and seems equally good. My main concern is the connectivity, how to connect the above printers that are either serial or parallel to an iPaq? Is bluetooth the way to go? Basically I'm looking for feedback from anybody who had deployed something like this before.

    - Program Memory Low - Select a task to close or increase program memory I've been putting my application(C#, .NET CF) through some stress testing when I encountered this pretty nasty problem. Basically, when the application runs out of memory I get the "Program Memory Low - Select a task to close or increase program memory" dialog window with a list of running tasks that I can close to choose from. My app, however is NOT listed there. So, if I close everything else and my app still needs more memory I keep getting instances of this dialog window with nothing to choose from until eventually the whole system crashes at which point I need to do a restart. So, it looks like I'll have to handle this problem inside my application. The problem is I could not find a way to programatically determine the amount of free memory at a given point of time. I also could not find any event that occurs when there is no more free memory which I could handle inside my app. Does anybody have any idea how I can handle this problem?

    - VS 2005 Cab project doesnt include form localization resource dlls I found a bug in VS 2005. If you choose Localized=true on your form and then make some resx files e.g. Form1.de.resx and change all the strings to German ones as you usually do - when you deploy the project to a pda it works perfectly and creates a de folder on the device with the german resource dll in the folder. However if you make a CAB project and choose the app project to be included, when you build the CAB it does not include any of the localization dlls in it. Does anyone know if this is really a bug or is there a setting somewhere I need to enable? Thanks, indiekiduk www.aspecto-software.com Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64218

    - Custom Uninstaller and App Manager Hi all, When I deploy my VS2003-compiled app, it installs EXEs to the desktop side and uses the ActiveSync AppMgr to install the CAB to the device. I also control the deployment using an MSI file and have a custom installer and uninstaller on the desktop. After my app is installed, I have found that it can be Removed in two places - i) the Remove button on ActiveSync's Tools -> Add/Remove Programs and, ii) the Remove button for the app on the Add or Remove Programs on the control panel. Removing my app using the Remove button on ActiveSync (AppMgr) works perfectly as it has been setup to call my uninstaller via the AppMgr INI file, and so things get tidied up on the desktop side as well as the device side. However, if I (or one of my customers) decide to remove my app using the Remove button in the Add or Remove Programs on the Control Panel, the removal process fails. I assume at this point the uninstaller has no knowledge that the app was installed on the device via AppMgr and so the removal from the device does not happen. How can I prevent either i) the app from appearing on the Add or Remove Programs list in Control Panel or ii) prevent the Remove button from being operational on the Add or Remove Programs list and give a reminder to use the ActiveSync Remove button instead? I will be interested to know how others have got around this one when using MSI deployment. Regards, Neville Lang Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64215

    - CF 1.1: socket timeout Hello all, I know that SetSocketOption throw an exception, even if it compiles. I really need to manage scoket timeout: I have a thread that opens a remote socket connection via GPRS. GPRS connection mving around often is quite unstable so sending and receiving may hang up blocking the thread. I try also to abort the thread even if it's not a good option, without any result. Is there a method to manage socket timeout with compact fraemwork? Or is there some other solution? thanks in advance Roberto Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64208

    - need to build limited browser as custom shell Hi, I have a pretty straightforward project for Windows CE. It would be a custom shell, launching a restricted browser, which would open up the default home page, allow forward and back buttons, but not let the user type in their own URLs. In other words, users would be forced to stay on the default website and any links from there. I'm deciding how to get started on this. It appears that the IE browser is available as an ActiveX control, but not as managed C# code. I've heard that OpenNetCF has a managed code browser control. Basically, I'm just looking for some direction here before I start down a path. My choices appear to be: 1) C# OpenNetCF 2) C# IE through interop/ActiveX 3) C++/ActiveX native solution I'm not crazy about the idea of interop, which seems like a square peg in a square hole... I don't know much about the OpenNetCF control. I'm an experienced C++ programmer, but I'm developing a taste for C# in a big way. Any advice, information or mistake corrections in my assumptions would be appreaciated. Thanks in advance Tag: Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) Tag: 64207

Debug.WriteLine should reflect to VS 2005 (works for Windows Mobile
devices).
