    - CF 2.0 application compatible with OpenGL standard My CF 2.0 application (written in C#) needs to include some special graphics features. We've got a company that offers a C++ DLL (I guess, unmanaged code) to show these graphics in mobile devices. They've told me that the unique requisite to use this DLL from my code and show required graphics is my application to be compatible with OpenGL standar. Thus, is my CF 2.0 application compatible with OpenGL standard? I would really appreciate any help from anybody working with graphics and OpenGL in Compact Framework. Thanks very much in advance.

    - Custom actions for CAB file I am trying to figure out how I can close/kill my windows mobile application when a new version is being installed. My application (like most apps) uses smart minimize and never actually closes, but when users install a new version the upgrade rarely works since they don't know how to actually close the currently running version. I was thinking about adding a descriptive note to my installer welcome page describing how to use the Memory control panel to actually close the application. But, there has to be a better way. Is it possible to add a custom action to a "Smart Device CAB project" that actually closes the application that is about to be upgraded? Tag: Bug?

    - Forms for both Windows Mobile and WIN32 platforms Hi All, We are trying to develop an application to be run primarily on Windows Mobile Devices but also on WIN32 based platforms as well. We are just wondering if there is any way to make our forms that we design for Windows Mobile devices scale to the screen size of any WIN32 platforms that the application is run on. At the moment, they display when run on a WIN32 platform, but the forms only appear at the size they were created (ie. screen size of a PDA). I briefly looked at the TableLayoutPanel class, but I couldn't see how to add that to my project (it doesn't appear on my Toolbox). It may be that it isn't available for projects with a target device of Windows Mobile or Pocket PC. Also, I came across a MSDN article that says to use this sparingly for performance reasons. What alternatives are there? Just handling the forms resize event and resizing components accordingly? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Chris Tag: Bug?

    - Large static System.Byte[] We coded our own stand-in for System.ConfigurationSettings that is using and XmlReader to pull in the key/value pairs from the configuration\appSettings\add elements in the .config file, and add them to a NameValueCollection. CLR Profiler tells me that XmlReader is allocating a 64K System.Byte[] that seems to survive garbage collection for the life of the application. So I put together a simple repro that on button_click just instantiaties an XmlTextReader, passing it a new FileStream, and then immediately closes the XmlTextReader, allowing it to go out of scope, and thus it and its resources should get garbage collected... CLR Profiler still shows a 64K System.Byte[] that lives for the life of the application. A GC Heap snapshot from remote performance monitor shows it in red as [root: Static (Sytem.Xml.XmlCharType)] System.Byte[](Size: 65548 Bytes, ID: 0x00038007) Can anyone shed light? Tag: Bug?

    - Handles Surviving When profiling a simple app just to get a feel for how to use the CLR profiler, I notice that there are 5 "Handles Surviving" after exiting the application. I'm having a little bit of a struggle with what this should be telling me. When I dig into the graphs, none of the surviving handles are coming from any classes or methods written by me - they seem to all be coming from the form and standard .net controls on it...I just have a form that I dragged three buttons and a checkbox onto - I think these must be the five handles (and I think this is confirmed by the allocation graph for "Handles Surviving")...So I guess I don't have a question so much as I would like validation, and maybe an idea of what to watch out for in a more real-world scenario.

    - Exception in method called by Invoke When my CF1 application starts up, it loads its main form: static void Main() { try { Application.Run(new MainForm()); } catch(Exception e) { MessageBox.Show("Unhandled error: " + e.Message, "My App", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1); } } In its OnLoad method, the new form starts a thread. When the thread is done, it calls Invoke(). The invoked method is throwing an exception. The exception is caught by the try/catch block above in main, and the application exits. It appears the thread is still running, presumably blocking on the Invoke. (I put a breakpoint after the Invoke, and it's never hit. The debugger doesn't close either.) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? What's the correct way to approach this? Regards, David PS- As an aside, on some devices (e.g., iPaq running 2003SE) the MessageBox above beeps and immediately closes. Why is that? Tag: Bug?

    - NullReferenceException while Deserializing in Web Services I have upgraded a .Net CF 1.0 project to .NET CF 2.0 using VS.NET 2005. The project makes calls to Web Services written in Java and it has been working fine in CF 1.0. I have also upgraded the Web Reference using the existing WSDL. The proxy has been created properly. However after the upgrade I can call only few of the Web Methods and some of the web methods failed with NullReferenceException during Deserialization process. I have noticed some changes in reference.cs as below.. Decimal types were declared as System.Nullable<decimal> etc. I tried by changing this back to System.Decimal instead of using nullable types, but this did not help either. The stack also doesn't give any relevant information except saying that the call failed due to NullReferenceException.

    - Regarding hosting Flash ActiveX control in CF2.0 Hi, I saw Mr.Alex Feinman's webcast regarding "COM and DOT Interop in CF2" at http://blog.opennetcf.org/afeinman/PermaLink,guid,1dfc3c39-d3cc-4faa-b5f6-cb5c9aed61dd.aspx I have a question regarding the section on hosting activex controls in CF2.0. I tried out what he had suggested and I was able to successfully host a Flash player activex control for PPC inside a CF2.0 C# application. But I am running into one problem. I am building a projector application for a Windows CE 5.0 device. So my requirement is that I need to embed the flash movie inside my application. I tired to set the EmbedMovie property in the designer and also specify the path of the flash file (I gave the path on the development PC where the actual swf file is stored, assuming it is going to embed it in the application during design time) for the Movie property. But this does not embed the movie inside the application. Is there something I am missing or is this not possible when we host an activex control in CF2.0 by the method he had suggested? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jothishankar Tag: Bug? IPAddress.Parse("A1") not throwing FormatException Tag: 83778

    - specifying CEAppMgr destination directory for persistent CAB files Is there a way to tell CEAppMgr where to place my CAB files before installing them, and to not delete them after install? I can successfully deploy my app to CE5 devices using CEAppMgr. The multiple CAB files all get installed to the correct locations, then get deleted. In an effort to allow my app to be reinstalled following cold boots, I have created registry files in the "Application" directory that look for and relaunch the CAB files upon cold boot (Symbol MC3000 system). This works if I manually place the CAB files in the nonvolatile "Application" directory where the REG file is set to look for them. However, I cannot figure out how to direct CEAppMgr to place and leave the CAB files in the "Application" directory during my automatic install. My install process is a self-extracting ZIP that unzips the 5 CABs and corresponding .INIs to a temp dir on the users PC. It then launches a bat file that calls CEAppMgr passing the 5 .INI files. This works great, my app and supporting CABs (CF, SQL CE, etc) all get installed correctly, but after it runs, the CAB files themselves are deleted, so the auto reinstall after cold boots fail.

    - Read Values of Registry Key Hello, I am trying to create a setup.dll file. In the "Install_Exit" part of Setup.dll i am trying to find if .net compact framework is installed or not. My knowledge of evc++ is minimal. I understand from what i read, that i should use RegOpenKeyEx : RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,_T("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\ \.NETCompactFramework"),0,0,&key) After i open this how do i read the values of this key. I will need the values to know which version of .NET CF is installed on the system. I read some where that it would be 2.0.0.0 for .NET CF 2.0, but when i checked that value on my PPC using remote registry editor, that value was 2.0.5238.00. So my question is, is there any way with which i can read these values programmatically. And i guess i can assume that if any of these values starts with "2.0", then .Net CF is installed. Also it would be great if some one could point me to some link where i can open a web link programmatically from this setup.dll in IE. In this link i intend to place the .NET CF binaries for the user to download. Thanks in advance and Regards, Rithesh Tag: Bug? IPAddress.Parse("A1") not throwing FormatException Tag: 83757

The symptom is as if the "fn" button is frozen in place and will not allow typed letter entries for those textbox from compact framework. Numbers are fine. The Stylus driven keyboard works fine and nd non-.net framework projects do not exhibit this problem. Anyone know of a pointer to a fix for this problem? Thanks -sam Tag: Bug?

    - Disable AS but allow TCP over USB Hallo, we are developing app where we need to disable Active Sync due to security issues - when AS is allowed, anyone can connect PC to device and access it's file system, registry, ... My question is, whether it is possible to disable only some of AS functionality - i would like to use TCP/IP connection over USB cable provided by ActiveSync. (Or is there any other way to establish TCP/IP connection over USB without ActiveSync?) Thank you. Tag: Bug? IPAddress.Parse("A1") not throwing FormatException Tag: 83686

    - Control.Invoke() problem at exit Hi I wanted to make a control with a method that is called asynchronously to adjust something displayed in the control. I used this.Invoke() to do this, and it works great until I close the form. Then I get an exception because the method is being called after the control is disposed. I tried to avoid this by stopping the thread when the Form1.Closing event happens, but it does not help. How can I make this work properly? Thanks in advance, Jenny C. // These methods are in my Form1 class protected void myThreadProc() { while(!m_bThreadDone) { this.userControl11.asyncSetCircleRadius(m_tick++); if (m_tick > m_maxtick) m_tick = 10; if(!m_bThreadDone) Thread.Sleep(40); } } private void Form1_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { m_bThreadDone = true; Thread.Sleep(40); } // These are in my control: public int CircleRadius { get { return m_circleSize; } set { m_circleSize = value; this.Invalidate(); } } public int m_newCircleSize=10; // public delegate void circleSizeDelegate(); protected void localSetCircleRadius(object Sender, EventArgs args) { CircleRadius = m_newCircleSize; } public void asyncSetCircleRadius(int newRadius) { m_newCircleSize = newRadius; this.Invoke(new EventHandler(localSetCircleRadius)); } Tag: Bug?

    - Message Window filtering Hi, I need to filter some messages in my form (in some situation I need to avoid mouse messages) so I create derivedd class: public class MyMessageWnd : MessageWindow { // When true mouse messages are avoided. private bool enableFiltering; public bool EnableFiltering { set { this.enableFiltering = value; } } public MyMessageWnd(IntPtr wndHandle) { this.wndHandle = wndHandle; this.enableFiltering = false; } // Only for this window avoid messages. private IntPtr wndHandle; const int WM_MOUSEACTIVATE = 0x21; const int WM_MOUSEFIRST = 0x200; const int WM_MOUSEHOVER = 0x2A1; const int WM_MOUSELAST = 0x20A; const int WM_MOUSELEAVE = 0x2A3; const int WM_MOUSEMOVE = 0x200; const int WM_MOUSEWHEEL = 0x20A; protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if (!(this.enableFiltering && this.wndHandle != IntPtr.Zero && m.HWnd == this.wndHandle && (m.Msg == WM_MOUSEACTIVATE || m.Msg == WM_MOUSEFIRST || m.Msg == WM_MOUSEHOVER || m.Msg == WM_MOUSELAST || m.Msg == WM_MOUSELEAVE || m.Msg == WM_MOUSEMOVE || m.Msg == WM_MOUSEWHEEL))) { base.WndProc(ref m); } } } In my form class I declare like this: ... MyMessageWnd mmw; /// <summary> /// Construktor. /// </summary> public FormCtor() { mmw = new MyMessageWnd(this.Handle); mmw.EnableFiltering = false; InitializeComponent(); ... } ... Problem is that WndProc is called only when I close application. When I click on form or press key nothing is happend. What is it? Meybe there is some easier way to avoid mouse messages? I look in google but I found only MessageWindow for this purpose. I use netcf 2.0 with SP on WinCE 5.0 Symbol MC3090 device. -- Best regards, Klaudiusz Tag: Bug?

    - XDA Exec Screen Resolution issue Hi, I have an in house application on on O2 XDA Exec [HTC Universal]. The icons and the main form are showing up as small and take up approx 50% of the screen in both Landscape and Portrait mode. The app works fine on other PDAs XDA mini, iPAQ etc. The strange thing is that controls such as text boxes dropdowns are the correct size Hs anybody come across something similiar before, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - No free slot for more dll's Hi, I've got a project with heavy graphic elements (picture boxes, image lists etc). At some point of development I needed additional dll's but I can't load them since I'm out of "dll's memory" slots. I thought of several solutions: 1) generate a seperate exe utility that is activated from the main exe, and is actually an interface to the dll. (did that. takes too long for the exe to load each time I need it). 2) Use the same utility as a tcp/ip server. did that. for some reason, the utility is ending with "native error"... and restarted automatically by my software. 3) Use messaging. 4) try to load the bitmaps on the fly, only the needed ones. This way I might free enough space for the additional dll. My questions: 1) Are there any other solutions? 2) What is your opinion about the best way to solve it? 3) How can I check to see how far am I from being able to load additional dll('s) ? (current allocated memory / dll's size etc )? Thanks for all the help. Empi. Tag: Bug? IPAddress.Parse("A1") not throwing FormatException Tag: 83675

    - Closing Sockets Hi guys, I'm developing an application for the windows ce 4.2, I'm using .Net Compact Framework 2.0 SP2 (manually installed) , I'm comunicating with a server using a simple WinSocket 2 protocol, it works nice, however I came across some problems I cant call the Close method on the TcpClient object I'm using to connect to the server, If I call this method, next time I create a TcpClient I cant perform a read operation It will wait forever unless I write more data into the stream; if I dont close the TcpClient object and I just let it go out of scope it works fine, I'm a little worried about leaking memory with this beahavior. Has anyone experienced somthing like this? A couple of more questions: 1- how do I specify the installation folder for the GAC in the compactframework cab? it seems it always writes something to the windows folder and I lost those files everytime I hard reset my device! 2- maybe somebody can tell me how can I force my device to connect to a wireless network whenever it is on range Thanks in advance! -- Roberto Tag: Bug?

x86 .NET CF v 2.0.7045.0 (SP2?)
Windows CE 4.2 & 5.0

IPAddress.Parse("A1") returns 0.0.0.101 instead of throwing a
FormatException.

This breaks Dns.GetHostEntry & even Dns.GetHostByName (deprecated, but
must run the same codepath) if the host name is an A followed by
numbers.

Am I missing something?

Apparently this is an issue with WSAStringToAddress that is fixed in
CE 6.0.
