    - Need help with reports I want to create reports and I don't care if I use crystal reports or vb.net reports. I am using vb.net 2005 and the app pulls data from user created access db's and compact 2005 sdf's. Here is where things get a bit tricky for me. I don't want to open any datasets to create my reports. All of the data I need is staring at me on the screen. Is there anyway to copy over the contents of textboxes and listviews to the report easily? I tried using the Print Form utility in the Vb.Net Power Pack but it only does a screen capture and does not get the all of the information I require. This is my first .net project that I have required paper reports and I am completely lost on how to approach this.. Every tutorial I have found does not seem to apply as they all want to use a single static database. I literally can be pulling data from hundreds of databases in a variety of formats. Dumping the contents of forms seems to be the easiest and logical solution...I just can't get a handle on it. Please help. Thanks :L Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 89122

    - RasHangUp Hi all, I have developed a simple software for a WM5.0 device that makes the following operations: - creates a GPRS and VPN connections through the DMProcessConfigXML API. - opens the VPN connection through the OpenNETCF ConnectionManager. - launch the TelnetCE software using the System.Diagnostics.Process class e using the WaitForExit method. - when the TelnetCE is closed, my software closes all connections through the ConnectionManager Disconnect method. Since the connection manager doesn't close all the opened connections, the software must use the RasHangUp API. The problem is that the device becomes unusable when the first RasHangUp is called on the first opened connection (got through the RasEnumConnections API). Switching off and switching on the device, the RasHangUp API seems to continue its work but the system connections are unusable anyway. Only after a softreset the connections become usable. If my software launch another application instead of TelnetCE, the problem doesn't occur. Can TelnetCE lock the connection even if it is closed? How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance mauro PS: My disconnect methods private static void disconnect() { if (_connectionManager != null) _connectionManager.Disconnect(); _connectionManager = null; Thread.Sleep(5000); hangUpExistingConnection(); } private static void hangUpExistingConnection() { int conns = 0; RASCONN[] ras = new RASCONN[256]; ras.Initialize(); ras[0].dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(RASCONN)); int lr = ras[0].dwSize * ras.Length; int ret = RasEnumConnections(ras, ref lr, ref conns); for (int i = 0; i < conns; i++) { try { RasHangUp(ras[i].hrasconn); // Execution stops here.

    - Almost always connected scenario Hi, We are planning a new project for devices running Windows Mobile. The main doubt we've got at the moment is if we build a sometimes connected scenario or an always connected one. There will be a database server as the main application's repository, but the most important part of the project targets people that need mobility (no tied to desktop PC) in a quite reduced indoor space, therefore, the idea would be to set up a WIFI network indoor. Then, my initial idea would be to have a local database on the device, that at a regular period synchronizes data with database server thanks to WIFI connection (GPRS would not be needed). The unique limitation we've got is that synchronization must be done quite often, that is, we cannot be more than 15 minutes for example without synchronizing data with the server. Changes made on devices must be available "quite instantly" (15 minutes of delay would be nice) on database server for other users to consume them. As you can see, I'm talking about an scenario very near to "always connected" paradigm. Then, would be possible to develop a Compact Framework application that is "always connected" to the server. Some years ago there were ASP.NET Mobile applications, but the problem there was that you must open a browser and point to web application server URL, the application was formatted depending on the device, and so on, and that's a very different approach of interacting with a Windows Forms Compact Framework "user-friendly" application. Don't know if nowadays there's something similar and mor euser- firendly that lets the user be "always or almost always connected" (VIA WIFI, no GPRS) to a server from a device running Windows Mobile. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thnaks very much in advance. Miguel Blog: http://lonifasiko.blogspot.com Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 89078

    - Internet connection stops working until reboot I've got a .NET CF 2.0 app running on a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone (a Samsung Blackjack). I mostly use the phone for testing my app, so it's running my app pretty much all the time. Sometimes, after a few days the Internet connection will stop working. Right now, for example, the ConnectionManager is returning "ConnectionLinFailed", and has been for the last 12 hours or so. No Internet apps are working, including IE. When I reboot it fixes the problem. Has anybody else had this problem, and/or found a solution? Anybody know of something that my application could be doing to cause this, or is it likely to be the phone or carrier? For example, could this be something that happens if I'm leaking event handles, memory, file handles, or some other resource? Is there a system log that would indicate problems like this, like the Windows event log or the Unix syslog? Is there a way to check for leaks of these or any other resources that could cause problems, for example to see how many are in use by my app or system-wide? Is there anything I can do from my app that might help, like disabling/re-enabling the GPRS radio? Thanks for any thoughts! ----Scott. Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 89058

    - Show form designer for my code file Hi, i have problem opening designer for my Form - Visual Studio 2005 do not show form icon in solution explorer, so i can open my file only as "View Code" not as "View Designer". If i could use "Open with..." opetion, but designer is not included in list of editors. I suggess that VS requires for designer that file contains class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form class and that this class must be first class in code file. This happended several times, but usualy after some restarts and rebuilds it starts working. Not this time. I have my class declared as "public class MainForm : Form" and this is the only class in the file. Any ideas how to make VS to show designer for my form? Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 89052

    - Detecting faulty SD Card Hi I have an iPAQ hx2490 running WM 5.0 with a faulty SD Card. The problem is that windows doesn't seem to know it is faulty. In a .NET CF (2.0 or 3.5) I can create an SQL DB, move and copy files etc, Close my program and open it again and all the files are in tact. File Explorer and ActiveSync can see the SD Card but can't see the files I create on it. If I soft boot the device, all the files are gone. The faulty SD card isn't the problem, but you can imagine how my customer related to us after doing a stocktake and losing all the data! My guess is that Windows Mobile has cached the data and failed to write it to the card. Does anyone have any idea how I could detect that Windows hasn't actually committed the data to the media.

    - How can I read SD card ID or similar information? Hello everybody, our software (c# on .CF) must handle different sd cards. So I need a SD card specific information to identify a SD card. My first idea was to use "IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICEID" via P/Invoke (DeviceIoControl). This works fine on a Windows Mobile 5 Hardware (Archer, Juniper Systems). Unfortunatedly our customers have still older handheld hardware (Panasonic CF-P1 with Pocket PC 2002). On these devices calling the DeviceIoControl funktion with the "... _GET_DEVICEID" parameter fails with SD cards (Error 0x57 - wrong parameter). On the same system the function will work with CF-Cards. So I assume, that this is an issue of the device. But I have no chance to get a patch from Panasonic for this (old device). So I have to find an other way to identify the different SD cards. (I don't want to create additional files, because it would be possible to exchange these files manually between the cards.) My second idea was to use the Volume ID of the SD Card. Most SD Cards use the FAT Filesystem. And this filesystem has an ID. You can see it if you call the "dir" command on the comand shell. This information will be changed if the SD card is formatted, but for our needs it is OK. On the desktop PC there is the API call "GetVolumeInformation" which deliver this information. But I have not found something like this for mobile systems. Does anybody know how I can read this ID? A different way to get a "SD card specific ID" would fine, too.

    - Restarting message loop with new form after exception Hello, In my Main() method in Program.cs, I have an exception handler around my Application.Run(). If I catch an exception, I would like to bring up a dialog box asking the user if they would like to send an error report. In my first attempt, I created the form for the dialog box, then tried to restart the message loop with another call to Application.Run(). Unfortunately, this call to Appliction.Run() immediately throws an exception. The documentation says that this will happen if I try to start a message loop on a thread that is already running a message loop, and Application.Run() seems to think the message loop is still running. Perhaps this is because it was exited abnormally via an exception. In my second attempt, I starting a new thread, and called Application.Run() from there. This works, but adds a lot of clutter to an otherwise straightforward piece of code, and seems a bit kludgey besides. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks! ----Scott.

If one clicks not on the menu, but somewhere else in die appliation the contextmenu closes (as expected) but the underlying panel does not fire any MouseDown event until it gets redrawed - strange is that MouseMove and MouseUp get still fired - unfortunately I need MouseDown and do not want to redraw the whole panel just because of the contextmenu closes without a click on one of the offered options (if one clicks on the context menu the effect also vanishes - then MouseDown is again there). Do you have any idea what this could be? thanks in advance, Tom Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 88998

    - Unit Testing classes using ResourceManager Hi, I am writing some unit tests for my windows mobile application. Unfortunately, some of the code I want to test uses localization strings, which blow-up my unit tests. I'm guessing this is because the language DLL's are not being correctly found. Does anyone know how to solve this? Here's a code snippet example of my unit test that blows up: [TestMethod()] public void GetStringsResourceManagerTest() { ResourceManager actual; actual = Utils.GetStringsResourceManager(); Assert.IsNotNull(actual); String lblPassword = actual.GetString("ACCOUNT_PASSWORD"); Assert.Equals(lblPassword, "PIN"); } The call to GetString("ACCOUNT_PASSWORD") is throwing the following exception: System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(String name, CultureInfo culture) System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(String name) MobileUnitTests.UtilsTest.GetStringsResourceManagerTest() Thanks in advance for any help!

    - Problem with DataTable.Rows.Select Hello In my Application i detected a strange, unexplainable behavior associated with DataSet and DataRow. In my DataSet i want to Select all rows with OrderState 1: DataRow[] rows = myDataSet.Tables["order"].Select("OrderState = 1"); Afterwards I write these orders to an XML to upload them to the Server. Within 6 months of beeing productive and hunderts of orders it happened 3 times that an order with OrderState 0 was uploaded. I cannot find the cause of this behaviour. The only ideas I have are: - The Select() method selected an wrong DataRow with OrderState 0 - The selected DataRow was correct but because of manipulating the DataSet from a second Thread (UI) the Pointer/Index of the DataRow changed and pointed to another Row with OrderState 0. This code runs in a background thread and the DataSet is bound to UI- Controls. The DataTable has a PrimaryKey-Column and NotNull-Constraint on OrderState-Column. Does anybody know how the internal relation between DataRow and DataTable is relized? Is it possible that a DataRow points to an index of the Table? So when I insert a new Row in the front, the DataRow points to an other row? Pleas tell me if you have an idea! Thanks Thomas Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 88961

    - IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID not returning a unique ID :( I've been using a call to IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID in a VB.NET project to return the unique 2 part device ID of a PDA and it's been behaving fine on many different devices, however, we've recently got some iPAQ 214 PDAs in and all of a sudden the code is returning exactly the same ID for each iPAQ 214 we run it on... It's fine on other iPAQ's and all other brands we've used seem fine, it's just the iPAQ 214's.... I've seen a million forum questions with people asking how to get a unique ID from a PDA and all the answers seem to be to do it the way I'm doing it using KernelIoControl and IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID... So why isn't it working in this one specific case? Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Paul Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 88938

I want to be able to use the functions in the library in my .NET code. As far as I can see, I have to convert the .lib file to a .dll file, and then use DllImport to P/Invoke the functions, or write .NET wrapper code for it. Is there an easy way to do this?

    - Tips on using .NET events from a background thread Hello, I've posted a few questions here in the past about using events which are fired to a background task. I've taken what I learned, here and through experimenting and tracking down bugs, and summarized it on my Web site. I'm hoping this will be useful for others here who may be dealing with similar issues, and also to get feedback, which I will use to update the page and also to improve my own code. The page is here: http://www.suspectclass.com/~sgifford/tips/dotnet/DotNetAsyncEventTips.htm Here is the introduction from the Web page. Please contact me if you have any feedback, find any mistakes, etc. You can email me directly, or if it's relevant to the group just post here. Thanks! ---Scott. Tips on using .NET asynchronous events from a background thread Our .NET client quite a few asynchronous events called from background threads. We use a LargeIntervalTimer to drive events and we have a network client which receives updates asynchronously over the network, similar to Pocket Outlook's Always Up To Date. Besides those, if we do something that may block for awhile, we send it off to a background thread and have it fire events to notify us of its progress. After working on this for awhile, we have learned (often the hard way) that there are a few tricky things with firing events from a background thread. The first is that they aren't running in the GUI thread, so you will have to use Invoke/BeginInvoke to interact with the GUI. A trickier problem is that they can fire at inconvenient times, such as after a component has been disposed, or while it is disposing. This page has some tips on dealing with all of the issues we have encountered so far. Tag: Info from device to PC Tag: 88913

You'd have to write a server app maybe a WCF web service that runs on the
desktop that the device calls to do this.

There is no pre-built framework or API for this as enabling a device to
remotely control a PC needs to be tightly controlled from a security
perspective.
