 - Hang at PictureBox Code only with PocketPC Emulator -> Why? Hi, I am confussed. I am developing an application on PocketPC using C# with VS.net 2003. It run fine on the compiled exe. It always do. However, when run on the emulator, be it PocketPC version 2002 or 2003, it always hang at the same code after I narrow down the issue. f_Bitmap = new Bitmap(new MemoryStream(f_byteDataImage)); pictureBox.Image = f_Bitmap; // This is the line that got stucked I am surprised that it supposed to be catched, rather than being freezed. Any ideas? The f_byteDataImage is actually a complete JPEG buffer, just like what being read from a file. Thanks for taking your time to read. Hope there are someone kind enought to point some light into my confussion. Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52729

 - Deos the filter property on the OpenFileDialog work? I am using an OpenFileDialog control to open some txt files. the files are named in the format Archive##.txt. If I use *.txt in the filter property then the dialog is filtered on all .txt files. But if I set the filter property to Archive*.txt it does no filter to only .txt files beginning with Archive. It still filters on all *.txt files. Am I using the wrong wildcard? How should I set the property to show me all .txt files starting with Archive?

 - "Overlay Form" Hi, is it possible (C#) to display a small window (somekind of a modeless dialog) on top of all other running programms. Let me explain what I want to do: I control an application - running in the foreground. My app is in the background. Sometimes I have the need to inform the user about special circumstands. BUT - I should not interrupt him totaly - because I don't know if he is willing to switch to my app a the very momet. So what I want are two things: A.) inform him about the situation at the very moment - and remove the icon if the situation has changed B.) inform him that my app needs interaction - when he clicks my "Icon-Window" I will bring my app to the foreground An Icon in the titlebar or so is not possible for two reasons: a.) the foreground app runs in fullscreen (not Titlebar - no Menubar) b.) the user should be able to hit the "Icon" with the finger So what I need is somekind of a "big icon" (32x32 or something like that) which displays on top of the other app. This "icon" should notify me if the user "clicks" it. My first idea was to have somekind of a 32x32 sized "Topmost-window" - but how to make such a thing? A "MessageBox" is not suitable since the user should still be able to interact with the other application ---- ----and that without loosing my "Icon". Thanks in advance Manfred Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52703

 - Leaving threads open?? Hi there, Have an issue with my .NET application. Basically the problem is it runs fine the first time and then when i close it (from settings > memory) it no longer starts when i click on the icon, literally does nothing. This started happening after i'm now using notifications to run a specific thread every 5 minutes. In my form_closing event i run this code: if ( timedSyncThread != null ) { EventWaitHandle notifyEvent = new OpenNETCF.Threading.EventWaitHandle( false, OpenNETCF.Threading.EventResetMode.AutoReset, "SAMS_SYNC_EVENT" ); // Notify the thread to stop. notifyEvent.Set(); notifyEvent.Close(); ..but i still have this problem. Any ideas? PS. Works fine again after a soft reset. Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52695

 - CF SP3 and Visual studio 2003 I installed CF SP3 on my PPC device. Applications developed with .NET CS2003 no longer run (at launch it shows message unable to load type from system.windows.form.control assembly system.windows.form If I unistall SP3 from device all works fine. It seems executable generated by VS2003 aren't compatible with CF SP3. Because new PDAs have SP3 preinsalled (i.e. HP2750) how can I instruct :NET Visual Studio 2003 to use newer assembly?

 - Validating Numericupdown control I'm trying to create an app in VB.NET to run on CE/PocketPC. I've got a form where it asks you for the date and time, auto-populating it with the current date and time. The date and time shouldn't need to be changed by very much, so I want to use a control that allows you to change the date and time by a day or minute by using up/down arrows. The obvious solution to this was the NumericUpDown control, which does exactly this (numbers rather than dates, so I used several). Unfortunately, the NumericUpDown isn't restricted to numeric data - the user can type letters into it. On top of that, so far all my attempts to validate it have failed. The Keypress and Keydown events don't seem to get fired so you can't cancel the keypress, the Validating event doesn't pass the old and new values of the control, so you can't reset it if the value is invalid and there's no way to cancel the update. I tried writing my own date/time up-down control, but when I try to incorporate it into my CE app the app won't compile - I don't get any compile errors, it just runs through and then fails. I'm assuming that's because it's a user control and the .NET compact framework doesn't like it, although since all it is is a text box and scroll bar with a bit of validation code behind it I really don't know why - I'm don't think I used anything incompatible with the compact framework. So, anyway, I was hoping someone had some suggestions as to how to either validate the NumericUpDown, stop non-numeric entry to it (or any text entry even, as long as it still allows selection using the up and down buttons) or else get my user control working.

 - Datagram Socket Crashes when too much data to send! Hi, I have already started a topic on a problem related to Datagram Socket Speed Problem, it is at this address http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework&tid=2e1306f5-64fb-4d8c-b6e9-d4bd0268780d&cat=en-us-msdn-mobile-wince&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 I am still having problems with that one... In my application, I am sending data "as fast as possible" into a datagram socket, which is blocking, and which has a 400 kbyte sendbuffer. The code is similar to this: while (keepAlive) { byte[] data = dataSource.getData(); int sentData = socket.SendTo(data , 0, dataSize, SocketFlags.None, remoteEndPoint); //If I add this line, it is working fine //Thread.Sleep(50); } If the Thread.Sleep() line is commented, the application will crash almost instantly... I get no exception, no error... the connection with Visual Studio .NET 2003 is lost, the application is shut down... and the Ipaq network features are not working any more.. only a soft reset can bring it back working. I don't understand why the socket.SendTo() function does not block the application untill the data is sent... It seems it only copies the data into an internal buffer, and stupidly crashes when this buffer is full. If I uncomment the line Thread.Sleep(), then the application is working. This line is slowing down the application so that the data rate is low enough for the socket to send it. Paul G. Tobey tried to help me already. He suggested to check the value returned by socket.SendTo()... unfortunately this value is always positive and equals to the size of the byte[] the application is sending. So everything seems to behave like normal, but it crashes completely.... What can I do to ensure the application is sending the data as fast as possible ? And also to be sure it will not crash ? Thanks a lot for your patience to read this! :-) Lionel Reyero Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52691

 - Databinding the second Hi again, I am back with my old question in a changed scenario. As described before, I have som touble with updating a listView, that has a bound table. I'll try to describe the scen.: For those who read my fist post: I changed from ArrayList to DataSet+DataTable. Form1 has a Listview and a button to open Form2 A DataTable is bound to the Form1-Listview. Form2 has some Textboxes bound to the currently selected Element in the Listview of Form1. The Textboxes of Form2 are populated well with the DataTable bound to the Listview. Changes made to the data in the textboxes are communicated to the underlying DataTable, as I call this.BindingContext[Global.patientenTable].EndCurrentEdit(); on clicking on an ok button in Form2. When closing Form2, bringing Form1 back to display, the changes have not been reflected by the Listview, which still shows the old value of the property recently changed. I added a button to do some "brutal" refresh by setting the Listviews DataSource to null an back to my Table again. Clicking this button shows the correct new value of my property. I am pretty desperate now, because I expected the ADO-Klasses to implement the RefreshOnChange-kind-of functionality just by them selves. If I went wrong in that point, could someone plz tell me the preferred pattern to cause refreshes to all Controls bound to a DataSource ? I can'T believe, that I have to do many "null-settings" like described above. Here some codeexcerpts that may be of interest: // Binding Data to Listview in Form1 this.listboxPatienten.DisplayMember = "name"; this.listboxPatienten.ValueMember = "uniqueId"; this.listboxPatienten.DataSource = Global.patientenTable; this.listboxPatienten.SelectedIndex = -1; // Binding the Textboxes in Form2 textboxName.DataBindings.Add("Text",Global.patientenListDlg.listboxPatienten.DataSource,"name"); textboxForename.DataBindings.Add("Text",Global.patientenListDlg.listboxPatienten.DataSource,"forename"); textboxStreet.DataBindings.Add("Text",Global.patientenListDlg.listboxPatienten.DataSource,"street"); textboxPlz.DataBindings.Add("Text",Global.patientenListDlg.listboxPatienten.DataSource,"plz"); textboxCity.DataBindings.Add("Text",Global.patientenListDlg.listboxPatienten.DataSource,"city"); textboxUniqueId.DataBindings.Add("Text",Global.patientenListDlg.listboxPatienten.DataSource,"uniqueId"); // Ending the edit-process in Form2 this.BindingContext[Global.patientenTable].EndCurrentEdit(); // My 'brutal' refresh this.listboxPatienten.DataSource = null; this.listboxPatienten.DisplayMember = "name"; this.listboxPatienten.ValueMember = "uniqueId"; this.listboxPatienten.DataSource = Global.patientenTable; Hopefully someone can help.

 - CreateProcess argument escape characters I'm using CreateProcess to launch an email and it's going pretty well. The only problem im having is that my arguments are causing errors. My string looks something like this: (this function calls the proper api below) CreateProcess("tmail.exe", "-to \"" + UserEmail + "\" " + "-subject \"" + subject + "\" " + "-body \"" + body + "\""); if the body string has a " or - in it I seem to get some errors. I'm assuming I should escape them. I tried using \" and \- but that doesn't seem to be working right. I read here from this page about the xp shell the following http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds_shelloverview.mspx You can use most characters as variable values, including white space. If you use the special characters <, >, |, &, or ^, you must precede them with the escape character (^) or quotation marks. If you use quotation marks, they are included as part of the value because everything following the equal sign is taken as the value. So I tried ^'s and that didn't work either. Anyone know what the reserved characters are and what the escape character or sequence is? Thanks for any help. ---------------------------- [DllImport("Coredll.dll")] public extern static IntPtr CreateProcess( string imageName, string cmdLine, IntPtr lpProcessAttributes, IntPtr lpThreadAttributes, Int32 boolInheritHandles, Int32 dwCreationFlags, IntPtr lpEnvironment, IntPtr lpszCurrentDir, IntPtr si, //byte [] si, ProcessInfo pi ); Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52650

 - Urgent: How to suppress Standby while working? Hi, i have a problem. i do a reorganization of a database on a pocketPC (no SQL-database). this can take some minutes (5 to 10 maybe). Unfortunately the pocketPC will switch to Standby-mode after a few minutes - and this can cause a corrupt database (when this happens while the application is writing data) Of course the user could change the settings to NOT go to standby at all - but i cannot check this for all users, all time, anywhere. So the question is: is it possible to execute some code, so that the PocketPC won't go to sleep while my function is running? If so, how can this be done?

We are running a .Net CF app with SQL CE 2.0.

 - Garbage Collection & Creating Class Instances Hi! I had a problem for several days and now found out what it is caused by: When calling Sub New of a class under XP, on a specific line (getting IP address) the procedure was left immediately without raising an error. Break Points in code lines after the "x = new y" were ignored. Stepping through the code opens a message box on that line: "There is not source code available for the current location." The cause: The program is a terminal emulation running in two versions for XP and CE but sharing most of the code. When the connection is closed the program restarts internally. Under CE the memory runs full because the garbage collection doesn't clean up. So I added: GC.Collect() GC.GetTotalMemory(True) GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() This runs perfectly under CE. But under XP it seems to dispose objects that are created afterwards, _while_ they are created! I solved the problem by detecting if it is a CE device and calling GC.* only there. Does anyone know more about this behaviour? Kind regards, Benjamin Lukner Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52611

 - Combo.SelectedIndex Changed Event? I am using a combo to select records from a datagrid. If the user selects an item in the combo with the stylus, the events fires three times, and the datagrid.selectedindex switches to the correct value, before reverting to 0 twice. However, if the user selects an item using the directional button on the bottom of the pda and scrolls to a record, the event fires once and the currect record is selected in the grid. Does this sound like intended behaviour? Why would it fire three times when they select something using the stylus, as opposed to once when the select using the scroll button? -- Cheers, James Goodman Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52600

 - Ballon tooltip I understand i can use the UserNotification class for raising a reminder dialog box. However, all i really need is a tooltip to appear that let's the user know something has happens and sits in the titlebar until they click OK (although program will continue running) Is that possible?

 - Cannot sync when Auto Identity Ranges Enabled? I have been pulling my hair out with this for some time now: I have a small db which I need to merge replicate with a number of PocketPC devices. NT Authentication is used. If I do not enable the automatic identity range option, the PocketPC clients can connect without error. However, if I enable this (which I need to), the PocketPC user gets a host of errors: 1. (Code 80004005) A call to SQL Server Reconciler failed. 2. (Code 80045007) The merge process could not retrieve article information for publication 'Survey' 3. (Code 0) {call sp_MShelpmergearticles(?,8000000,?)} 4. (Code 4833) Could not connect to server 'SERVER1' because 'SQLAdmin' is not defined as a remote login at the server. SQLAdmin is our Service startup account. It is a member of the Administrator group. The user account being used to connect is a standard domain user account. If I add the user to the Administrators group the process succeeds everytime. I have checked permissions on the SQLCE folder, and snapshot folders and AFAIK they are correct (i.e. the user has write permission). It looks like a permission problem, but I dont know where. It seems the only solution to this is to add the user to the Administrators group (totally unacceptable!). Any suggestions because I am at a complete loss? -- Cheers, James Goodman Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52586

 - [C#] Use a HTC Camera to perform a preview and take a picture Hi, I'd like to use a htc camera to take some pictures and to perform a video capture (preview). I know the Neil Cowburn's dll (http://blog.opennetcf.org/ncowburn/UsingTheIntegratedCameraInHTCDevicesFromManagedCode.aspx) but that dll is starting a new process (Camera.exe). I'd like to use a dll to develop a preview in my application (without starting a new process) and to take some pictures in my application. Somebody knows if a dll exists to execute a preview ? If yes, where I can find that dll ? Thanks. Best Regards Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52580

 - ANN: NLog 0.9 has been released NLog 0.9 has been released! Source, binary and Win32 installer are available for immediate download from: http://nlog.sourceforge.net/download.html About NLog: NLog is a .NET logging library similar to log4net, designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind. The new release includes major architectural changes, new features, speed improvements and bug fixes. A new website has also been deployed at http://nlog.sourceforge.net/ A step-by-step tutorial is available at http://nlog.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html Major changes: ============== * Internal API redesign/rename. "Appender" has been renamed as "Target" and "LayoutAppender" as "LayoutRenderer". This should make it easier for people to understand the basic concepts ("layout appender" wasn't a good idea). Old configuration file format is still supported. Old extension code should require nothing more than a search/replace and a recompile. * Changed the way the configuration file is parsed. Now elements are processed top-down and you can change the order of the sections as well as the elements you reference have been processed before. Speed improvements: =================== * Improved logging and non-logging speed by removing most abstraction from the Logger class. A single non-logging operation now takes only 7 nanoseconds which means 140.000.000 non-logging operations per second). Logging API remains unchanged. Bugs fixed: =========== * Fixed an old bug where appenders were incorrectly combined into a chain. New additions: ============== * Network target (capable of sending messages over TCP and UDP, HTTP to be supported) * Preliminary NLogViewer target and a sketchy, but already usable viewer application. "Chainsaw" target should probably be added as well. * Added LogManager.GlobalThreshold * API documentation, target, layout renderer and filter documentation is generated from source code comments using NDoc. * 100% of public methods are commented in the source code. * Reworked the tutorial and howtos * Reworked the website.

 - DataGrid and DataView question I inherited some code that binds a dataset/datatable to a datagrid. When the user highlights some rows the code loops thru a DataView of the grid to act on those rows. This works fine, unless you first click a column to sort by that column. Then the datagrid rows are not in the same sequence as the datasource table. I'm thinking this is a definite bug in this code, but I'm wondering what the point of doing things this way might have been. I mean why bother with CurrencyManager and DataView if you can just access the elements via datagrid1[row, col]? Here's an example of the loop which seems overkill to me (besides not working if you sort first!): CurrencyManager mgr = (CurrencyManager) dataGrid1.BindingContext[dataGrid1.DataSource, dataGrid1.DataMember]; DataView dv = (DataView)mgr.List; for (int i = 0; i < dv.Count; ++i) { if (dataGrid1.IsSelected(i)) { DataRow row = dv.Table.Rows[i]; <get a field from row here...> } } I mean, if the datagrid got sorted, the underlying datatable or dataview isn't also sorted is it? So highlighted row 1 in a sorted datagrid is NOT row 1 in the presorted datatable or dataview. Am I missing something in at least the intention here?

 - convert ToChar question I am trying to use some special character. When I try to use the unicode hexadecimal number to convert to the character I can only select from Tahoma's character map and maybe a couple of others. I thougt I read that CF supported all the fonts and you could use any charcode to get special character. Am I mistaken? Code looks like: Dim sd As Integer = "&HFFFC" Dim chrIndicator As Char = Convert.ToChar(sd) lblIndicatorMode.Text = chrIndicator Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52564

 - Using ActiveSync (CEAppMgr) with signed .cab files fails Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this message. I wasn't sure where to post it. What am I doing wrong? I'm using CEAppMgr, along with the required ini file, to install a Windows Mobile 2003 app onto my Smartphone. Within the build environment, I am creating a cab file for my app. Using a batch file, for now, I call CEAppMgr passing in the ini file that knows of the cab I've created. It works great! The problem: To enable my app to install and run on 'all' Smartphones, I intend to sign the cab. For testing purposes, I am currently signing the cab with one of the Test Certs. The problem is, that when I sign the cab, CEAppMgr will no longer install my application. I turned on the simple debugging supported by CEAppMgr and found that the cause is that the file size embedded into the cab, no longer matches the actual file size (because of the digital cert). Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround or a better (more correct) way to do this? Thanks in advance. Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52537

 - CF SP3 And Globalization All, I have written a VB.NET application for a CE.NET device with 3 current languages available (en, fr, es). It was running fine unil a new device image was loaded which included SP3. There are currently two issues: 1. If CultureInfo is not specified when calling GetString from the resourcemanager, no culture specific string is returned, regardless of the Regional settings on the device. Workaround by getting CurrentCulture and passing that it. 2. Localizable set to True on the form and text for controls set for each available language. Default language is always used, and when I checked CurrentUICulture, it is set to "en-US" regardless of the regional settings and CurrentCulture. Because both CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture are read-only on CF, there is no apparent way to force it. Not sure if OpenNTCF supports this function, but I had to remove it from the project due to deployment issues, so I do not want to add it back. If anyone else has experienced this or has any insight into it, I would appreaciate it. Thanks, Andrew Tag: NetCF replacement for WaitHandle.WaitAny() Tag: 52525
