    - Possible to install multiple .net CF versions? Hi, I have a bit of a puzzler. I have an app that doesn't appear to be completely compatible with the new version of .net (V2 in general). My user has an XDA Orbit and I would like to have it use V1. The problem appears to be that it comes preinstalled with V2 and the msi won't allow you to install an older version alongside v2. Is there anyway to deal with this? Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78840

    - Custom Listview Sample Dear All, I am developing a photo viewer app. There will be a thumbnail listview with checkbox for each item. The standard ListView control is not pretty enough and the checkbox location cannot be configured (it always aligns to bottom left corner and occupied too much space, anyway to change checkbox location? seems there is no such setting even by win32 p/invoke). So I would like to owner draw my custom list view. I know there is example for custom ListBox in http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/CompactFramework/doc/ownerdrawnlistbox.aspx. However, is there a sample code for custom ListView?? Thank you very much! Rgds, Jason Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78835

    - SIP and anchoring Hello, I wonder if we can use anchoring with SIP panel. Indeed I have a button "next" (in example) at the bottom right of the form which is covered by the SIP (input) panel when it is activated. Anchoring seems great because the button is placed at the correct location in portrait and landscape mode. However when the SIP panel is activated I do not want to have the button hidden by the SIP. But anchroring for the button seems having no effect with the SIP. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance :) Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78810

    - Validating and Custom Controls I'm using a Control Validating delegate to validate a field when it loses focus. My delegate may pop up a message box, and may cancel the validation. When I tap on the popup selector of a SysDateTimePick32 hosted by an OpenNETCF ControlEx, it immediately pops up its picker, which appears on top of my message box. The last message seen in my ApplicationEx event loop was WM_LBUTTONDOWN. Similarly, if I select a menu option that displays a message box, I get both message boxes. I tried adding an IMessageFilter to my control, looking for LBUTTONDOWN messages that are going to other windows, but haven't figured out how to tell if another window will take the focus (so tapping on labels causes validation). Has anyone solved this problem, or seen documentation on how to approach it? Thanks, -- David Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78801

    - App not closing, threading... Hi, In CF 1.0, if you create a thread and don't terminate it, the app does not close. Therefore, you need to ensure that all threads are terminated. Ideally, you set a flag, the 'run' loop falls through and you're done. Otherwise you have to get agressive with ThreadEx.Abort (OpenNETCF). OK, now assume that your app does not quit (kinda randomly). Does this mean that a thread is still running or that it could be something else? Assuming that it is a running thread, are there any useful tools or techniques for me to use to figure out exactly which thread is still running. I set the name in ThreadEx, but that is local to ThreadEx and therefore won't show up on a TaskMgr utility. Here is some interesting information: 1. HelloWorld - just a form created from New, Project in VS2003 has five threads - all priority 251. 2. I have seen my app not closing and being left with only three threads - all priority 251. Is it possible that some system/CF thread isn't being closed? How can I figure out which thread of mine (assuming it is mine) is still running? Could it be a non-thread issue preventing the app from closing? BTW: The app goes away, looks closed for all intents and purposes, but you get a sharing violation when trying to delete the EXE. The process also appears in a process viewer. Thanks, Hilton Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78795

    - WAN communications We have a VB.NET application that runs on a CE.NET 5 device, and at present users return to the office to upload and download data by logging into the main SQL server. We will shortly need to accommodate users accessing the server remotely (from outside WiFi range) . What possibilities are there for this? I have looked at literature, and as far as I can see, I have 2 possibilities - GPS and internet. Our handheld device has an optional GPS module, but is it possible to connect the CE.NET device directly to the office network using a combination of the existing 802.11b module in the device, a wireless broadband router and VPN, or use an ftp site to transfer data. I can see these options being easier to implement and cheaper (which is the most important) than GPS. What hardware/software would I need for any of these options? I am completely new to this area, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andy Baker Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78725

    - Socket restart issue Hi All, I am working on a CF 2.0 C# application for windows CE 5.0 device. My application has a socket server feature in it and we have a Flash application as a socket client. The Flash client connects to the C# server and data flows between them. At some point in time, the C# app has to close the Flash movie and restart it at a later point in time. Here lies the issue. When the C# app relaunches the swf, the swf starts looking for the server. But the server stops listening to clients any more. I tried shutting down and closing the socket object and creating that object (with the same name) again and start listening, but it gave me a socket exception. Is it not legal to recreate the socket object with the same name? How else can I go about it? I cannot use new names each time I create socket object. Also, I cannot use different IP address or port numbers as they are hard-coded in Flash. Thanks, Krupa Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78722

    - Connecting PDA/Phone to Web Services using SSL? I am using the following code to make a connection to a remote web service running on my windows 2003 server. The server is in a domain using Certificate Services. I have assigned a certificate to the default web site and configured it. I can connect to the web service using IE, but when trying to make a web connection via my application, I get various errors. I can't seem to make it work. Here is a similar example to my code: service.Url = @"https://" + Server + @"/WebService1/WebService1.asmx"; System.Net.NetworkCredential NC = new NetworkCredential(); ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new TrustAllCertificatePolicy(); NC.UserName = username; NC.Password = password; NC.Domain = domain; service.Credentials = NC; try { if (service.IsConnected()) { return true; } else { return false; } } catch(Exception except) { MessageBox.Show(except.Message); } return false; When I am not using https, things connect fine. When I use https, I get "Unable to read data from the network connection", inner exception is "the remote certificate failed validation procedure". Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this simply not supported with Windows Mobile? I can't seem to find any clear answers out there. I have added the root certificate to my mobile device store and it doesnt change the error returned. Can anyone tell me how to make it work securly? I need to pass admin credentials around with other various sensitive data and I need a secure connection from the mobile device. Microsoft is doing it with Outlook, so you would think it should work.

    - HttpWebRequest Accept-Encoding: gzip Header Hi, I've developed a solution to call a webservice via HTTPWebRequest The IIS is configured to allow compression (gzip). The client application add to the request header the accept- encoding:gzip request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true; request.SendChunked = false; request.KeepAlive = true; request.Method = "POST"; // tell the HTTP server that the client accept compressed data request.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding: gzipr\n"); I've tested with success the code on my laptop, but on my pocket Pc this does not work. I mean, i can successfully call the webservice but i never receive the contents compressed. In order to demystify this issue I've placed an http sniffer and came to the conclusion that when i run the code into my laptop the header accept-encoding is sent and from Pocket PC is not (this way the IIS cant know if the client allows compression). Investigating a little more i did the following: request.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding: gzipr\n"); request.Headers.Add("TestHeader: okr\n"); Running this code in pocket PC i saw that he sends the "TestHeader" Header. He only omits the Accept-Encoding. Why is that? Note: This behaviour occurs on Compact Framework 1.1 and 2.0; on pocket pc 2003 mobile edition and on WinCE 5.0 What is happening? Can you help me?

    - Socketclient connection problems I am working on the new HTC P3600. In my VB (2005) project I am using the socketclient component to connect to the server via UMTS connection. It takes around 50-55 sec just to connect to the socket on the server and then the rest of the communication is done quickly. On the older model the S200, which had EDGE connection, to connect to the socket server took only 1-2 sec. I have also tested this odd behaviour with some other devices either connected with via GPRS or EDGE and everything is working perfectly. Where is the problem, the UMTS network or the socket component? Thx, Dule Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78699

Since my DLLImport["mydll.dll",EntryPoint="EntryPoint"],I know the reason that is is because I dont write the correct path. Question: Can I write relative path on DLLImport or is it to be absolute file path? I prefer to relative path than absolute path, since it will make me feel flexible! If I can write relative path, how to write,I have googled it, I only find some absolute path writing.:( Sorry, I am totally new dotnet user. Thanks Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78662

    - Serial Port Issues Hi NG, I've recently taken on the task of creating some custom software for a Treo 750v. The Treo has a working serial port (tested with a terminal emulator) and is running Windows Mobile 5.0 with Compact Framework 2.0 installed. Lets start off with some background first.... For my first attempt, I attempted using the emulator, and the first issue I encountered was that I could not receive any data on the serial port (BytesToRead property was always 0, and yes I bound the emulator comport to a real comport in the settings). So, for the heck of it I compiled the same code, and ran it as a standalone app on windows XP. Everything worked great! So I finished developing the app, running into many minor issues, one of which was: serial.write(chr(data).toString) has a TX parity error 40% of the time. Switching to a byte array solved it (don't know why), and I went along my merry way. Anyway, the app is finished, and ready to be installed on the handheld device. I installed it, it fired up no problem, then as soon as communication begins I'm bombarded with frame error after frame error. Obviously it has to do with it being run on a handheld, and unfortunately I don't have another model handheld to test on. Anyone have any similar issues? -Thanks Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78658

    - Implementing SuspendLayout in CF 1.0 Hi, I have a 'core' code that runs in the main thread and it needs to be run without the other threads able to invoke their methods. Currently other threads are able to perform invoke since the 'core' code is using GUI methods such as Form.Hide() Using lock won't help here because it's not practicle that all the other threads will try to access the lock object before invoking (Since these are services for the application it will be a 'dirty code' to do this) What I'm asking is if theres an option/possiblity of implement/rewrite the suspend/resume layout methods that are not supported in the CF 1.0? I know the methods are supported in CF 2.0, but I can't migrate the code to CF 2.0, yet. And if it is supported in CF 2.0 doesn't it mean that it IS possible to find an API function that does that?

I'm only able to activate the current form. But not the application as a whole. To give in detail, my app contains multiple forms, like form1 creates form2, form2 inturn creates form3. Suppose now form3 is the current active form and my app goes background as i click on 'today' item from 'Start'. Now if CreateProcess() or GetForegroundWindow() is called, it displays form3. Its fine until that. But as i close form3(), this should show up form2. But it does'nt. It just shows today screen, no form. What i want exactly is when i activate a form in my app from settings->memory, it works just as fine as the application was never put in background. I want to acheive the same. PLZ suggest.

    - performance profiling tool for Windows Mobile? Hello everyone, Are there any performance profiling tool for Windows Mobile? Either for Windows Mobile 2003 or for Windows Mobile 2005 is ok (either simulator or real device is ok). Any reference quick start turorials? I simply want to generate a result like gprof generated on Linux, like the percentage of each function consumed (and sorted from the most time consuming function to the least time consuming function) and the related consumed time stamp. thanks in advance, George Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78613

    - Visual Inheritance in User Control I am creating a CF application using VB.Net 2.0 and VS2005. I am trying to create a heirarchy of controls to give my application a common look and feel. Here is what I have so far: public class ctrlBase inherits UserControl public class tabBase inherits ctrlBase public class pageMain inherits tabBase When working with tabBase, I can correctly see the formatting and controls on ctrlBase, and then add controls that should be accessable to all decendants to tabBase. However, when I go into the designer for pageMain, instead of seeing the controls from tabBase, I am again presented with ctrlBase and its controls. Is there some setting I need to make to allow inheritance deeper than one level? I appreciate any help you can offer. Mike Tag: Destroying forms Tag: 78612

You're in a managed environment. You shouldn't care when it gets released
from memory. Closing it will run Dispose, which in turn will end up
deleting the objects root. At some point - a point that you shouuldn't be
trying to control - the GC may release that memory back to the system.
