    - GPS and web service confilict I have an app read location from external GPS and send request to a webservice server using lat and longti as an input. I use SerialPort class(c#, CF2.0) to read data from GPS, and it works fine. However, after my serial port is opened. My webservice request is always failed and I got an exception "Unable to connect to the remote server". Here is my code: private void Connect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] ports = SerialPort.GetPortNames(); _serialPort = new SerialPort(ports[0]); _serialPort.ReadTimeout = 5000; _continue = true; _serialPort.Open(); Thread readThread = new Thread(SerialRead); readThread.Start(); } private void SerialRead() { while (_continue) { string Sentence = _serialPort.ReadLine(); Thread.Sleep(1000); } } private void Disconnect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { _continue = false; _serialPort.Close(); } private void Webservice_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { WebReference.ContentControlService webService = new GPSTest.WebReference.ContentControlService(); webService.contentSearch("xxxx"); } catch (Exception pe) { MessageBox.Show(pe.Message); } } Thank you very much in advance for your sugession and hits.

    - Forms And Memory Hello All, I have a question about forms and memory. I used to always leave my forms in memory and then load them when needed however, due to becoming tight on memory, I started to close my forms and then create new ones when needed. My question is, what is better, leaving them open or disposing of them? I started getting out of memory errors recently however, I am unsure if it is because of this or switching to CF2.0 (did both at the same time).

    - How to extract GPS tags from a image Hi all, I think I have tried almost everything. 1. I have been able to do that from a .NET program and by using PropertyItems. Unfortunately PropertyItems is not available in CF 2. Using OpenNetCF. The GPS tags are not defined in this library. 3. Using a C++ COM Class and calling that class from my CF program. Based on this http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/articles.php?&atb.set(c_id)=57&atb.set(a_id)=6211&atb.perform(details)=& Unfortunately that function doesn't return the GPS tags either. What else can I try? I'm really desperate with this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot. Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88215

    - Storage card issue Hi, All I have develop software for Texlogix Psion (Mobile 6.0) in CF 2.0. During testing i found out that device sometimes can't detect existance of storage card, it happens when i am trying to upload files to PC. After one or two successful uploads, looks like storage card (removable) SM-MMC Card renamed to SM-MMC Card2 and all files arrive to newly created directory "SM-MMC Card"... Any help on that. Is it known issue? We had this problem a few years ago with Casio, but it was fixed by installing patch file on each unit from casio. Looks like another new unit with latest OS having the same problem. Is it normal issue or only applies to specific device like Texlogix Psion? I contacted Psion tech support on this matter, so far no answer, but they suggested to check if storage card has the destination folder before each upload process. Is it developmet environment .NET 2005 issue or handheld problem? Please, help Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88212

    - Crash in Remote Performance Monitor when trying to use GC Heap function (.NET CF 3.5) I have a generic WinCE 5.0 system (desktop, shell, etc). When I try to use the Remote Performance Monitor tool that comes with the NETCFv35PowerToys.msi, it crashes when I hit the 'GC Heap' button. To reproduce, I can generate an "out of the box" wizard generated C# app targeting .NET CF 3.5 using VS2008. I change the generated Program.cs file to be: using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO.Ports; using System.Threading; namespace TestRPMTools // your namespace here... { class Program { static SerialPort m_SerialPort; /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [MTAThread] static void Main() { m_SerialPort = new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("COM4", 115200, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One); m_SerialPort.Open(); Application.Run(new Form1()); m_SerialPort.Close(); } } } Now, just run this program on the target (using the RPM tool), and start hitting the GC Heap button. Sometimes it works a few times (close GC Heap window without saving if this works), but after a few times it fails, throwing up a message box with this text: exception code: 0xC0000005 exception address: 0x01d3a39c Reading: 0x00000300 Faulting Module: mscoree3_5.dll Offset: 0x0008a39c Does anyone have a suggestions at all as to how to attack this issue? Is this likely to be a bug in mscoree3_5.dll? Is there something that I need to be sure is in my WinCE nk.bin image? (Right now, .NET CF 3.5 is deployed by VS2008 - it is not built into the nk.bin image. I have pretty up-to-date QFEs in the nk.bin.) Full Disclosure: Also, the above code with the serial port is something that I reduced my program to in order to report this issue. But removing the same code from my larger program where the issue was first discovered doesn't fix the issue, so the above code may be a red herring. The crash may be caused by some unrelated issue. (https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=331277) Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have! - Wil Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88198

    - Packaging _setup.xml (for SSL Cert) into WinCE 5.0 CAB using CabWiz? I am attempting to install a SSL Certificate on a WinCE 5.0 mobile device. I have already created the appropriate "_setup.xml" file that contains the SSL Certificate installation information (as shown in several posts/blogs/WinCE32 SDK). Now I am attempting to package _setup.xml (or just it's contents) into a valid WinCE 5.0 CAB file. Using the makecab utility provided in the WinCE32 SDK, as in: "makecab _setup.xml rootcert.cab" does not create a "Valid Windows CE Setup File", as reported by the WinCE device when I attempt to manually install the CAB. Therefore it seems like I must somehow utilize the "cabwiz.exe" program, that also comes with the SDK, to try and package my _setup.xml, but how? I have no "Application" to install so what would I specify in the ".inf" file??? Questions: 1) When running cabwiz.exe (WinCE 5.0 SDK), how do I package my "_setup.xml" using a ".inf" file when there is no application to install? And/Or... 2) How do I determine if "_setup.xml" must be considered as extra information for "_setup.xml", which apparently the file that cabwiz.exe itself creates inside of the new cab file!?? The command-line for cabwiz.exe offers the /prexml or /postxml options when creating a cab file - do I need to use them or do I somehow indicate, within the ".inf" file, that my "_setup.xml" file is input for the cab build? I guess I'm just not sure on how to create the ".inf" file for cabwiz without really having an application to install and then go about the task of indicating to the cab setup, "Oh, by the way, would you mind running this snippet of xml contained in my '_setup.xml' file so the appropriate SSL Cert Info is imported/registered properly?" I really hope I'm not confusing everyone but I could certainly use some clarification on how I can package the SSL Certificate '_setup.xml' (mentioned in several blogs/posts that I've seen for PocketPC and Windows Mobile 5/6) into a valid WinCE 5.0 Cab file that I require for my Symbol/Motorola MC3000 Series WinCE 5.0 mobile device...

    - Sending commands to serial port connected device Hello, When I create a connection to an external device (barcode scanner) via serial port, using the Terminal Services Client on the mobile device, I can send commands to control to the external device and receive information about it, such as the firmware version. I have a vb.net application that sucessfully recieves data (via serial port) from the barcode scanner, but with the serial port open, if I send the same commands that I used using the Terminal Services Client, I get no acknowledgment from the scanner. I'm guessing I'm missing something. Is there a way to send the commands I use in the TSC and recieve data in my app? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    - Minimum font size for webbrowser control I have a program, running under .net compact framework v2, on Windows Mobile 5. The main window uses a WebBrowser control to display everything. I would some of the text to have a very small font size. I've put in the appropriate CSS directives, e.g. font-size: 6pt. But there seems to be some minimum font size in the WebBrowser control -- when I specify a large font-size then the text shows large, but when I specify a very small font-size then the text won't go as small as I want it. Is there some property of the WebBrowser control which will let it display text smaller? Or is it an issue of font availability? Damon.

    - Broadcom bluetooth manager and virtual serial port Hi I am kinda new to compact framework programming (I am experienced asp.net developer), so please forgive me if my questions are trivial. I've an application that connects to bluetooth device using virtual com ports - before I connect this app to bt device I need to discover the device and assign virtual com port, then configure the application to use that port. Application utilizes standard cf2 System.IO.SerialPort class. Everything worked well on my WM 5.0 device. Now I need to run this application on WM 6 device with Broadcom bluetooth manager (IPAQ). My WM 5.0 device didn't have any 3rd party bluetooth manager, just standard Windows and I wonder if there will be any problem with running this application because of the Broadcom bluetooth manager. Will I be still able to discover the bt device and assign it a virtual com port and then use it in my application? I am not sure why HP decided to use 3rd party bluetooth software. Is it only because they wanted to make easier using bt cell phones as modems? What's the point in using such software? Thanks for help in advance.

Steps 0) OS : Vista x64 1) Install VS.NET 2008 (with Smart Device Development support) 2) Install Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK (if it is not installed, Korean image for WM 5.0 won't install) 3) Uninstall Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK 4) Now, all the smart device project templates are gone. There's no item in the "Target platform" list.

    - Why doesn't it throw an exception to connect to an unexisting IP? This has been really troubling me, at least for few days. I tried to solve it myself but I finally gave up and am asking for some advice. What I'm trying to do is rather simple. To communicate between PDA and PC via good old TCP socket. Since I dont' have a PocketPC, I used the emulator that came with VS.NET First, I tried like Dim client As TcpClient = Nothing Try client = New TcpClient() client.Connect("my ip address", 7778) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) End Try MessageBox.Show(client.Client.Connected) The problem was, even though I'd typed a wrong ip, the message box always showed "True". The connection error only occurred when the internet connection itself was unavailable. Second, Dim mySoc As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp) mySoc.BeginConnect(New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("my ip address"), 7778), AddressOf OnConnect, mySoc) End Sub Sub OnConnect(ByVal result As IAsyncResult) Dim mySoc As Socket = CType(result.AsyncState, Socket) mySoc.EndConnect(result) System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(mySoc.Connected) System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(mySoc.RemoteEndPoint.ToString()) End Sub This was the same, it always printed "True" even thouth the IP address was wrong. I've tested this on VS.NET 2008 (WM 5.0 Emulator + Mobile Device Center) and VS.NET 2005 (PPC 2003 emulator + ActiveSync), but the results were the same. All I want is simple text-based message exchanging. But I'm stuck at the very basic stage like checking if the message was sent and received. Is there any sample code that I can refer to? Please give me some advice. Thank you a lot. PS ------- The server side code was like Dim myIP As IPAddress = Nothing For Each i As IPAddress In Dns.GetHostAddresses(Dns.GetHostName()) If i.AddressFamily = AddressFamily.InterNetwork Then myIP = i Exit For End If Next If myIP Is Nothing Then MessageBox.Show("Can't get the IP4 address of this computer.") End If MyListener = New TcpListener(myIP, 7778) MyListener.Start() MyListener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(AddressOf OnClient, MyListener) Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88093

    - Possible to change color of Windows Mobile Theme? Hello, Is it possible to change the color of the current windows mobile theme used? I would like to do this with .net cf but not sure if this is possible. Saw already applications in .net cf that can change the color for example of a WM6 device to red, green, blue or what color you want, but I do not know how to do this. thank you for any help. juvi Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88088

    - WebService access issue on GPRS/3G Hi everyone, I'm trying to build an application that retrieves data from a web service using its data connection (GPRS/3G). I'm testing this application on an HTC P3650 running windows mobile 6, with .NET CF SP2. As long as the device is connected through activesync, or with a WiFi connection, it works fine. However, when the device is connecting through its data connection, it throws a WebException. On the other hand, I can access the webservice through GPRS without a problem using IE. I know the operator restricts data access to avoid traffic other than http. The APN and proxy settings (which are used for this connection but not through wifi) are configured correctly, but I don't know if I should do anything else. Any idea would help, Thanks Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88074

    - Dotfuscator disassociates derived class when base class is linked Hi all, I know this is a fairly old post, but I just came across it and wanted to clarify things a bit. The "renamed referenced metadata defined only in input map file" is used by our Incremental Obfuscation feature. This allows you to obfuscate a class using a library that was previously obfuscated but which you no longer have access to reobfuscate (say when working on an update to a deployed application). This setting tells Dotfuscator to apply the renames from the map file to references found in the input assembly, without needing the original assembly in which the type is defined.

    - Pull/Import files from PC Host to the Device Is there a way using the Compact Framework to implement a "pull" or import of files from a Host PC's hard drive while cradled? We would like to avoid having to release a PC application used to "push" the files from the PC to the mobile device which we know can be done. Thanks in advance. -Eric Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88070

    - using EVDO to connect to a webservice Hi all, I have a Symbol MC70 with WiFi, and a data access plan through the cell phone. If I am in IE, call up web page and a WiFi connection is not available, *somehow* the phone uses an EVDO connection to connect to the internet. I would like to do the same type of thing through code, using C# and VS 2005. If you have a suggestion of where to look to get started with this, I would appreciate it.

    - Deploy .Net CF as Visual Studio does Hello. Every time a debug is performed into a PPC using Visual Studio 2005, the IDE deploys the .Net CF into de device. Is there any way to write a desktop application that does the same thing? What I've been doing is developing a desktop application that uses RAPI.dll in order to copy the .Net CF CAB and then I run the process "\windows\wceload.exe" to install the cab. But I would like to find some code that does this operation in a transparent way for the user... I think that the best approach is the one implemented by Visual Studio. Thanks.

    - UserControl - size problem in designer Hi, I have problem with using my user controls in designer - desingner ignores my default size of my control and allways creates new controls with size 200 x 200 points. Since desinger does not show content of usercontrols in CF, this makes UserControls quite unusable for me... 1) I create new UserControl class called MyUserControl and sets it's size property e.g. 100 x 50 points. (I checked generated method InitializeCompoment and it seems fine, size is set to 100 x 50) 2) I use this control in new Form. When i drag this MyUserControl on the form, this control is created on this form, but it's size is 200 x 200 instead of 100 x 50. When i do the same in full Framework, it works fine... Is there any workabout how to make this work? Thank for any ideas Tag: Embedded C# (Studio 2005) User controls not painting in designer Tag: 88060

Embedded C# (Studio 2005) :

In the designer, my custom controls are not being displayed. I just get a box with the type of the control shown as text. My custom control is a combination of drawing, some text and a bitmap.

If the bitmap is not available my control simply draws a rectangle.

How can make Studio 2005 show me my controls in the designer? BTW, I don't have any problems seeing my contols when I tartget a desktop.
I only get this problem when targeting a CE device?

Ideas?

You don't get designer support for "free" with smart device controls. You
have to do some additional work:

There are additoional links off of the one above as well.
