    - How do I create a form at runtime from an XML stream? Hello All, I am designing an application for a client, and it requires that the user interface be dynamic. It is a survey application that will run on Pocket PC and on Windows CE. Whenever the application is loaded the user enters a survey ID and the application will go to the server and download the survey in XML, then dynamically create the Forms for the survey. I am still fairly new to C#, does anyone have a good link to a reference or example about how I should go about creating the dynamic form creation? Beat Regards, Anthony Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38525

    - Calling form controls Why can't I call another form's controls? Whether I use the singleton method for my forms or not, I can't seem to call them. I just need to change a label on another form before the form is shown yet I don't have access to the label. Here's how I call the form: frmAbout.GetInstance().Show(); Can anyone tell me what simple thing I am missing in order to access other controls on other forms.

    - Loopback vs Emulator I have searched and found other questions on the emulator running w/o a network connection. Visited the msdn links on how to setup the loopback adapter. Have setup the emulator, but still "unable to start program". This ng doesn't seem like it would be the right place to ask this question, but I can't find another more suitable one to post to. Please let me know if there is. I have a demo to give next week and I can't seem to get this to work on any of my computers or laptops. Is there some other configuration I need to get it to work? Do all other adapters have to be manually disabled (just thought of that)? Basically, to test, I installed the loopback adapter, disconnected my nework cable and tried to run the emulator. After it takes a long pause in trying to start the application, it comes back with the 'unable to start program' message again. The adapter is given an IP address on the apipa subnet, which from what I have read, is correct. Thanks. Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38511

    - Problems using a c++ dll in VB.net Compact Framework Hi, We used to use Pocket PC 2002 and embedded visual tools 3 for development of applications and a driver dll. Recently we have been required to bring our software up-to-date so developers can use it with the .net compact framework. Our driver dll previously used callback functionality, which is of course not supported in .net, so we added functions which would take the window handle of the application and pass back messages to it. We also recompiled the dll in eVC++ 4, to be compatible with Pocket PC 2003. To test this new functionality, we have written a VB.net application. However, after seeming to work ok after a few function calls to the dll, when going through the same process again, on the second or third time through (usually depends on how fast you are executing, if not stepping into code it will do it on the second run through, if debugging then it can be 4th or 5th time!), the program will just disappear, with no exception or any trace to explain why. Also it doesn't do this disappearing act at the same dll function every time either, as far as I can tell at least. I am having a great deal of trouble tracing the cause of this, and am wondering if anyone has experienced this as well, and/or has any tips on how to proceed? Thanks in advance of help, Zief Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38500

    - MissingMethodException Hi, I'm trying to call from C# a DLL function developed with eVC 3.0 and I get the error MissingMethod Exception when I try to call the function. I read all previous messages about this matter but I'm not able to solve the problem. I can say: - the DLL is loaded because I put a message on DLLMain and I can see this message; so the DLL is copied in the emulator and it is loaded. - I've use "C" in the declaration of the DLL but with dependency walker I don't see exactly the name of exported function but I see _Sierra@0 (the name of the function is Sierra). I don't know if this is right or not. Hoping in an answer... Keven Corazza Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38486

    - DNS.Resolve I have been using: System.Net.Dns.Resolve("laptop1") To check if I am connected to a network. If it is connected it returns an ipHostInfo object, if not it raises an error. It works fine at first, but if I later disconnect the network from the device and run that line of code again it respond as if it were still connected. Even with no network it returns information about the address as long as it was previously resolved. Somewhere it is storing the ipHostInfo information, and using it even if the device is not connected to a network, it appears as if this information is stored on the handheld somewhere. Does anybody know how to clear this info, so it checks the network every time for that address rather then pulling it out of memory. Thanks, Joe Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38484

    - Problem with dotfuscator I have a pocket pc graphical app with an extra form, form2, to which I added a menu. I compile the program, which is configured as 'debug'. The program works on ipaq ppc, on emulator, and on desktop. Then I use dotfuscator standard edition for visual studio and now the program works only on emulator and desktop, but not on device, hourglass keeps turning forever. I must emphesise, there is no added code in my program, simply what is a given from the wizard plus an added form as described above, so maybee someone can recreate the setup.

    - Registry and Wireless settings I have a lot of WindowsCE4.2 devices, all must be setup with a wireless profile, ie. static IP/subnet, wireless SSID/AdHoc. In stead of configuring each device I would like to make a small application to assist me. I have tried looking at the registry before and after manually setting the profile, but still I am unable to clearly identify fx the location of the IP address. I have identified changes in the following keys: LocalMachine\Comm\[adapter]\Parms\TcpIP\EnableDHCP LocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces\[adapter]\ActiveSettings LocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces\[adapter]\Static#0000 CurrentUser\Comm\WirelessAdapterCache\[adapter] CurrentUser\Comm\EAPOL\Config\[SSID]\Enable8021x The key LocalMachine\Comm\[adapter]\Parms\TcpIp also include a Value "IPAddress" [String], however, it seems to be ignored by Windows Zero Config. I have been looking into this matter much but and about to go nutz as I cannot figure out how its done. Can it be done? Where is the IP stored? After a device reset (warm boot) it persists. Is it stored on the card? Encrypted? I have searched looking at both string and byte patterns. Any comment appriciated. Thanks you. Frederik Jensen, Judex Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38437

    - NetworkStream.BeginRead Blocking problem Hi all, I am trying to create CLient-Server based application. Talking of just Client application, I want to read data from the server application. For that I created a socket and a new thread that reads all the time from the server. However, the problem is when I close the socket (from client end), my data reader thread (created above) does not close down. In turn it keeps waiting for some message. After bit of struggle I noted that somehow BeginRead calls back the method after 1 minute. At that time my piece of code exits the thread.

    - Local datastore for visual basic .net aplication on a pda I have this project for developing an drug interaction aplication for a pda under a windows o.s . The aplication is being developed on visual basic .net (using visual studio .net 2003), and I needed to create an local datastore, the problem is that most of the database access controls and etc available on the full .net framework arenÂ´t available for the .net compact framework, so, so much for using an MS access database file, as for SQL, I kinda dislike the ideia of having to install the CE server on the pda just to run a lame database that only uses SELECT and WHERE (=?) queries (the aplication only reads a specific value from a field on the database and compares it to another value from another field). So after all this, here's my questions: Is there any way to use an sql database file as an local datastore without the SQL server running? Just by reading from the file that is? And how about an serialized xml file from the object model, could it do the trick or does it run in to the missing class prob in compact framework? Thanks for reading and for your time, help is most welcome. Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38414

I can tell that the form in the background is still running as I can touch buttons, at least the part of the buttons I can see behind my 'modal' form, and they work. Any ideas?

    - Best choice of data storage on PDA in C# (short term/ long term) I am a newbie, so please be patient. I am working on an app that will extract data from an embedded system via serial connection. I need to get the data as fast as possible and then go back and assimilate it after I've disconnected. What is the best way to store this data for both the temporary and long term?

    - Detecting Open Forms Is there a way in CF .NET using C# to detect whether or not a form is already open in memory, and if so, using a conditional to show that form rather than having to do something like this: Form1 frm = new Form1(); frm.Show(); since that always creates another instance. I don't want users to have a bunch of the same form open on their PPC at one time, it's just silly and a needless waste of resources. Thanks Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38379

    - Trouble with Multi Threading Hello All, I am in the middle of creating a class that I want to use with Serial IO per the MVP on this forum. I am still having trouble with my design process I think. I created a class that is designed to basically receive messages from the port. It is a CommEvent private void port_DataReceived() { byte[] data = port.Input; RxMESSAGE += Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data,0,data.Length); } this class is created from a WinCE form. there suggestion was to create a seperate thread that receives data. my question(s) in this process is 1)if I have a class that is created from a WinCE form( myThread = new Utility.myThreadClass(); ) with the event port_DataReceived. Will that event raise without locking up my WinCE form? 2) how do I start a thread that will allow this event to be raise and allow me to continue working on my WinCE form? In every other situation I have written a thread that calls one function, once that function was done the thread was done also, in this case I am trying to start a thread the allows an event to fire?

    - Help with custom control development Hello all! I am developing a custom control with design-time support. I have managed to build the design time assembly without any errors. However, when I add my control to the toolbox it appears disabled. I understand that something is wrong but I cannot figure out what it is. Is there any way to get more information on what is going on? Do you know of any descent tutorials on control develpment (because MSDN's documentation on this topic sucks!). Thanks in advance!

    - WebService - putting on third party hosted site and how? Hi all, I am creating my first mobile app, and I am using a web service. It's all working great on my local machine. However, I want to stick it out on the net so that we can demo the app at the client site. My company website is hosted by a third party. Is it possible to stick the webservice files out on their server and have this work? I'm new at this stuff, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Erin Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38344

    - irda serial port emulator Hello, I am trying to write a program using .NET CF to interface with a PDA IR port which communicates with an ACTiSYS IR100S Intelligent IR port. This device contains the iRDA protocol stack so that when it is connected to a PC it looks like a standard RS232 port. I have some sample code which allows data to be sent via IrDA on my PDA. This works between 2 PDAs running the same software. If I try to connect to a PC then I would have expected to see some data when running hyperterminal. I do not. Also I have found a terminal emulator for the PDA which allows IrDA connection to the PC and I can send data from PDA to PC/ PC to PDA. Similarly I have tried my sample code talking between 2 PDAs where 1 has the terminal emulator and I don't see any data passed between the 2. The code I have will also discover IrDA devices and this works OK. I have 2 questions: 1. Why do I not see any data when running my sample code on either terminal emulator window? 2. Do you have any .net sample code which I can use to communicate between a PC and a PDA via IrDA? In my final application the remote device will be a "dumb" device which accepts commands via RS232, so I can not expect to be able to add any code to the remote device.

    - No Smart Device Application template? Hi! I need to create a VB.NET application for a Pocket PC. I've installed VB.Net, the .NET Compact Framework and the Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 SDK. Still, there is no "Smart Device Application" template under New Project/Visual Basic Projects. I've tried deinstalling and reinstalling everything - still no template. What am I doing wrong? Tag: FolderBrowserDialog Tag: 38339

Is there something similar to the FolderBrowserDialog that I can use for my
user to indicate where to save a file on the PPC?

Thanks

Pocket PC doesn't implement the common dialog, but you can build one with a
tree-view and a bit of file system enumeration.Although targetted at
Smartphone, this article shows how to build a simple file system tree, you
can use this to build your own folder browser dialog.
