    - Serial Port programming with OpenNetCF Question To all, I've used the OpenNetCF classes to build a demo program to test serial port communication, but somehow I don't really know how to send data since the example I've got is only how to receive data. Questions: 1) can I really write such a demo program using the VS.Net Emulator ?? Since I've read quite a no. of forums complaining Serial Port is not working on Emulators 2) if I want to send data, I should use "Port.Output = new byte[]{11, 12.....}" and it will invoke the delegate /event for data receiving ??? 3) as from the example program, I should use "Port.Input" to receive the byte[] sent by the Tx side ??? 4) How can I know the communication is in half or full duplex ?? (actually can I set 1/2 or full duplex ??) Thanks! From Jason (Kusanagihk) Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33442

    - listview columnwidth to largest subitem? Hi, I have a datareader filling a listview, after that I want to set my listview column width to the largest subitem in the column. You could do that by setting width to -1. I already found out about a bug that you could not set -1 by the columns.add method ([url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316572[/url]) But it won't work like they descripe there either. CODE private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(); listView1.View = View.Details; item.Text = "This is Item 1"; item.SubItems.Add("This is subitem 1 for item 1"); item.SubItems.Add("This is subitem 2 for item 1"); listView1.Items.Add(item); ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem(); item1.Text = "This is Item 2"; item1.SubItems.Add("This is subitem 1 for item 2"); item1.SubItems.Add("This is subitem 2 for item 2"); listView1.Items.Add(item1); listView1.Columns.Add("Column 1",-1, HorizontalAlignment.Left); listView1.Columns.Add("Column 2", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left); listView1.Columns.Add("Column 3", -1, HorizontalAlignment.Left); listView1.Columns[0].Width = -1; } So in the add method it will not work but listView1.Columns[0].Width = -1; should set column[0].width to the largest subitem in the column ... but it doesn't... Can anyone tell me how I can solve this? (it works fine on the .NET framework, not on the .NET compact framework) Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33440

    - XMLInclude Problem in CF.NET Hi! I have a WebService, that returns an array of some messages. Each message type is a class, derived from base class MESSAGE. XMLInclude is present. If I use my WebService with namespace "http://tempuri.org", everything works fine on both regular and Compact Framework. Since I'm going to use "http://mycompany.com" it gives me an InvalidOperationException "Cannot find type for http://tempuri.org/:FOO" on CF.NET. (FOO ist a message type, derived from MESSAGE). But it works properly on the Big .NET Framework. Is it a BUG or a feature? Is there a workaround for it. A lot of thanks. I'm sorry for my English. Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ?

    - Binding! Alright I am just about to start development on a new app and could do with a bit of help :) I've got two ideas and just wondering which people think is the best or quickest. 1: I have a table (2 columns), it is used as a "lookup" table i.e. Item Code crisps 1 coke 2 etc... My main table which stores my data has a field called "ItemCode" which holds the code. I want to have a combobox that shows the "Item" field from the lookup table but is bound to Item in my other table. 2: combo box shows fields but isnt bound and then when the save button is pressed an sql statement is executed which updates the row with the new value. I think this method maybe slower when moving records because ill have to set the values of all controls where as with method 1 they will be bound.

    - Thread not starting I've got a problem starting a thread in c#. Two scenarios. 1) got a form, which creates an instance of a class. in the constructor of the class is a call to a method which starts a thread. public void StartThread () { new Thread (new ThreadStart (this.WaitExecute)).start(); Console.WriteLine ("thread started") } private void WaitExecute() { Console.WriteLine ("thread sleep"); Thread.Sleep (30000); SignOn(); this.Invoke (new EventHandler (this.Restart)); Console.WriteLine ("thread done"); } this works. scenario 2 send 2 msmq messages (send 1 and its fine) and the thread doesnt start ie all i get on the console is the "thread started" message and not the "thread sleep" the msmq call was originally in the same class as the thread above, but i've since move it ot its own class. i have also now moved the call to the startThread onto a button on the main form i can send one message and the click on the button and it starts fine send two messages and the thread wont start. any ideas would be appreciated Andy Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ?

    - Calling scanner fundi's... [Environment] Symbol MC9000k scanner running Windows Mobile 2003. C# .Net (.Net CF) with OpenNetCf 1.2 installed. Latest Symbol SDK driving the scan engine stuff. [Application] I've extracted the barcode scanner handling stuff from one of the Symbol SDK examples, and using their .Net classes, drive the scanning engine in my application. Basically the program has a main screen which allows you to perform differing actions, all of which involved the scanner. Tapping a button launches a new form, which initialises the scanner and asks the user for a type of barcode to scan... There are eight forms in all, each creating their own instance of the scan engine on load and destroying it on closing. Each has an event handler that is unique in handling the data that is scanned. [Problem] Every now and again, at completely random intervals, the scanner will just stop working. Pressing the trigger button doesn't scan anything. If you exit the form you're on and go into another one (reinitialising a new scanner object instance) nothing happens. I've put debug log trace statements everywhere that log the details to a file to make sure that only one scanner object is in existence at anyone time, and that any errors are reported. When the scanner goes wrong, the log file tells me the application was still merrily destroying and creating the scanner object with no exceptions, and all the reader object correctly created. The work around I have is a restart button that quits the program, and relaunches itself. The scanner will now work when going to a dialog. Although it works, but it's not solving the problem. Does anyone have any ideas, or has anyone come across this sort of thing before? Any help in how to debug this, or direction as to what the problem is would be greatly appreciated!

    - German special character and string.Replace() method Hi, I've noticed a problem with the string.Replace() and the StringBuilder.Replace() methods. I try to replace the german special character "ß" (sharp spoken "ss") in order to mask the character with "ß" for showing it in the OpenNETCF's HTMLViewer control. The problem is, that the Replace() method finds the "ß" in each string containing "ss". When calling Replace("ß", "ß") the first "s" of an "ss" sequence is replaced by "ß" resulting in "ßs"! That behaviour is bad, because "ß" isn't the same as "ss". Is there a way to influence this behaviour? Is there another way than to scan the string manually? Btw, other string and StringBuilder methods (like IndexOf()) also treat "ss" as "ß" ... Greetings, Christian Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33339

    - Treeview bug : Select top visible item but itself? Hi all, I am struggling with an annoying problem. It's a little difficult to describe, but I will try as simply as I can. The issue is with a Treeview control, which has a two level structure, in my cases, category and product. This issue is only visible when the tree is expanded so that a vertical scroll bar is displayed, and the topmost visible item is a product. I will try to draw this in text.. (top of treeview) -Category 1 Product 1 Product 2 ------------ (top of visible in screen) Product 3 << Selects this when you expand/contract Category 2 (or 3) Product 4 +Category 2 +Category 3 .. etc ------------ (bottom of visible in screen) Note that Category 1 is exanded (off screen), but Category 2 (on screen), is not. Also note that the Tree.SelectedNode has been set to Nothing in code. Now, the bug happens when you expand Category 2. When you do this, it does expands category 2 correctly, but then SELECTS Product 3! It also does this when you contract Category 2 as well. My theory is that a treeview likes having something selected. When the category is exanded, it seems to re-select the screens topmost visible item. This is strange to me, at the very least I would expect it to select the thing you were expanding/contacting? I set the selection back to nothing so that you can easily re-select the same product. Has anyone else hit this problem? Found a work around? Any and all help appreciated!! Regards, Saul ps. If I have not explained this situation well, please ask for any clarification.

    - BreakPoints ignored I am working with Visual Studio and the Pocket PC 2003 emulator and trying to set a breakpoint in a class. But the breakpoint never stops the execution. The build is set to debug. I press F5 to debug - the application is built and deployed with no problem - the app starts automatically on the emulator. I run the app but the breakpoint never hits. If an exception occurs, the immediates window and stack are available as they should be. I set the breakpoint by clicking in the left margin and the red dot shows up with the line highlighted. I can look at the properties of the breakpoint and it looks fine - the hit count is 'break always' and the condition is 'none'. I have tried setting breakpoints all over the application in various classes but none work. I have a message box on the line before the breakpoint so I know the code is getting called. Anything that would cause this? I've read through the docs and searched the ng, but can't find anything. -Dave Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33323

Once the operations are finished, we display the main app form. This is working just fine. Now, we are adding a functionality to see if a configurationsettings file on the device has all the values we need before the app loads(even before the splash screen). If a value doesn't exist, we display a form, get the user-input, update the configuration file and then WANT to continue loading the app. This new form will only be displayed if some settings are missing. I am not able to close this new form or kill the thread and continue loading the app. How should I be resolving this issue? Any ideas/suggestions will help a lot.

The special event this month is an author book signing. Refreshments served. This is also the time to enter the drawing, which is held at the end of the WE-DIG meeting. We have a lot of goodies that you can win. The featured item is an iPaq H2210 Pocket PC, courtesy of the Microsoft Mobile Device Division. ========= Author Book Signing ========= Before the formal meeting starts, we are going to have an author book signing featuring the authors of two recently released .NET Compact Framework books, Paul Yao & David Durant. They will be available to answer your questions and sign your copies of their books (copies of which are going to be on hand for sale). ========= Meeting Starts ========= The meeting starts at 7:00pm. At this inaugural WE-DIG meeting, you are going to meet the members of the WE-DIG board, and learn about its mission. The MC is Paul Yao, a member of the WE-DIG board, and president of The Paul Yao Company. ========= Panel Featuring Windows CE 5.0 Team Members========= The latest version of Windows CE, version 5.0, shipped on July 9. Three members of the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 team have graciously agreed to join us in a panel discussion: o Jeana Jorgensen, Windows CE Product Manager o Chip Schnarel, Group Program Manager, Windows CE o Mark Miller, Architect, Windows CE Audience participation is welcome, so come prepared to gain insights and to ask your own questions about this latest version of Microsoft's operating system for embedded and mobile software development.

Michal is a member of the WE-DIG board. ========= Open Problem Solving Session ========= A key benefit of community events like the WE-DIG meetings is the opportunity to network with common interests. In addition to the informal networking that inevitably takes place at this type of meeting, the Open Problem Solving Session provides every attendee with the change to describe real-world development problems or issues that they have, and to get the perspective of ofther members. This is also the time of the meeting when any attendee can announce job openings, or when anyone looking for a job can let the group know that. Almost any public announcement is allowed, subject only to the limitations of good taste, the interests of the group, and the patience of the moderator. The Open Problem Solving Session is moderated by Jon Fincher, Program Manager for Windows XP Embedded, and member of the WE-DIG board. ========= Drawing ========= Just before the end of the meeting, we are going to have a drawing for lots of valuable prizes, including: * HP iPaq H2210 Pocket PC, courtesy of the Microsoft Mobile Device Division * Copies of books from the Addison Wesley .NET Developers Series * And lots more... -- Michael Salamone [eMVP] Entrek Software, Inc. www.entrek.com Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ?

The form will contain the code for the click event and I need to add this event to the PictureBox control at runtime from the class library. myPictureBox.Click += new EventHandler(event_name); I know I need to use Reflection; but there are many methods that have been removed from the compactframework that I just can't figure out how to accomplish what I need to do. Has anyone done this before? Thanks, Lisa Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33286

    - SocketFlag.OutOfBand usage Is the out-of-band socket option (urgent TCP packets) supported in .NET CF? Sending a message with the SocketFlag.OutOfBand Flag set results in a SocketException (WSAEOPNOTSUPP #10045). It works neither on the CE .NET Emulator (VS 2003) nor on my .NET 4.2 device. I used the following code fragment: IPHostEntry hostEntry=Dns.Resolve("host"); IPEndPoint endPoint=new IPEndPoint(hostEntry.AddressList[0], 5555); Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); s.Connect(endPoint); s.Send(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("socket stream interrupted by ")); s.Send(new byte[] {0x01}, SocketFlags.OutOfBand); s.Send(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("urgent data")); Did i miss anything? Any special SocketOptions or TCP settings? My desktop version is working :-( Thanks in advance & kind Regards, Volker Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33285

    - Writing to a text file formatted as XML Hi! In our app(C#) we have to make some configuration settings and for that I have a text file that looks like this: <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="db_server" value="someserver" /> <add key="db_database" value="somedatabase" /> </appSettings> </configuration> Now, I want to check if value for db_server is empty and if it is, I want to write the value. I am trying to use XmlTextWriter and XmlTextReader but being new to XML processing I don't know exactly how to do it. I got a response from the xml group to use this: //Asad Jawahar /*********************** XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load("old.xml"); XmlNodeList list = doc.SelectNodes("/configuration/appSettings/add[@value='']/@value"); foreach(XmlAttribute attr in list) { attr.Value = "test"; } doc.Save("new.xml"); /************************ But compact framework doesnot seem to support doc.SelectNodes. Instead we can use GetElementsByTagName but then I don't know what should go in there. I tried: node_list = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("/configuration/appSettings/add [@key='db_server'] [@value='']"); This did not help much.Can anyone help please?

    - Application Idle Hello All, I am trying to create a timer using the OpenNetCf to find out when the application is on idle and have been having some problems. I have found some example code using VB (http://wiki.opennetcf.org/ow.asp?AppIdleTimer) however I am using C#. Here is what my code looks like. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong? using IMessageFilter = MyApp.AppIdleTimer; CLASS: public class AppIdleTimer { public delegate void TimeoutDelegate(); public event TimeoutDelegate AppTimeOut; private System.Windows.Forms.Timer m_timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(); public void New(int TimeoutInterval) { m_timer.Tick +=new EventHandler(m_timer_Tick); m_timer.Interval = TimeoutInterval; m_timer.Enabled = true; } private void m_timer_Tick(object sender,EventArgs e) { AppTimeOut(); Application.DoEvents(); } private void Dispose() { m_timer.Enabled = false; } OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage public void PreFilterMessage(ref Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.Message m) { switch(m.Msg.ToString()) { case "&H200": case "&H201": case "&H202": case "&H203": case "&H204": case "&H205": case "&H206": case "&H207": case "&H208": case "&H209": case "&H100": case "&H101": case "&H102": case "&H103": case "&H104": case "&H105": case "&H106": case "&H107": case "&H108": { m_timer.Enabled = false; m_timer.Enabled = true; break; } } } } INSIDE THE MAIN AppIdleTimer appIdle = new AppIdleTimer(); appIdle.New(10000); appIdle.AppTimeOut += new MyApp.AppIdleTimer.TimeoutDelegate(appIdle_AppTimeOut); *** Getting This Error ***The best overloaded method match for 'OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.ApplicationEx.AddMessageFilter(OpenNETCF.Windows.Fo rms.IMessageFilter)' has some invalid arguments ***Here ApplicationEx.AddMessageFilter(appIdle); ApplicationEx.Run(); private void appIdle_AppTimeOut() { MessageBox.Show("TimeOut"); } Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ?

    - GPRS connection I have a symbol device that has an inbuilt GPRS modem. I want to connect to a webservice from the compact framework. I dont want to have the connection settings entered on the device because it will allow people to use this connection for things like explorer. My current routes of exploration have been: 1. Use OpenNETCF.Net.ConnectionManager But this I believe needs to have an entry in the connections to connect so thats not valid for my design limitations. 2. Use OpenNETCF.IO.Serial I believe that if i send the correct strings eg (AT+cddcont=1,"IP","blah" then ATD*99#) down the modem then this will give me an IP address once it connects. But i never seem to get any response but am I barking up the wrong tree. Any help would be appreciated. James Tag: Prevent other apps from showing up ? Tag: 33277

Hi,

I've been asked to develop an application for data collection.

One demand is that no other apps can show up and my app can only
shotdown after acceptance of correct password.

Any ideas or shotcut on how to do this will be appriciated.

This is asked very often. Search the archives with Google for "full screen
app" or "kiosk mode"
