    - How to scroll large drawings/large docs? Hi, I have a "document". My doc can be divided to thousends of lines. Every line can be displayed as a drawing, every line has an OnPaint method. How can be displayed this document??? The height of every line is 75. If each line is reperesented by separate controls the program will be very slow, because thousands of controls must be checked every time wether they are on the screen or not (?). If the whole document is reperesented by one control size limitation seems to be exceeded: the height of my "one and only" control should be more than 75000. System.Windows.Forms can not be resized (or not always can be resized) to this height. The limit is 32767. ( My very large control is on a Panel in this case. I don't know the general way to handle large docs. Please help!!! Frankie Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 88056

    - Connection Manager API Hi, I've seen some comment at various places on some sort of managed wrapper for the connection manager API that's now available in .NetCF 3.5. Can anyone shed a little more light on this like a) yeah it's in there and b) you need to look in the XXX.xxx.xxx namespace. Help appreciated. J Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 88052

    - System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage seems to be not exact... Hey everybody, I've a little nice problem here. I want to scale a bitmap, everything seems to be OK, but... I sliced that Bitmap in nine (9) parts - 4 corners (unscaled) - top and bottom middlepart (only horizontal scaled) - left and right middlepart (only vertical scaled) - middlepart (horizontal and vertical scaled) The 4 corners has a width and height of 5 px, top and bottom middlepart has a width of scaled bitmap - 10px and a height of 5px, left and right middlepart has a width of 5px and a height of the scaled bitmap - 10px. The middlepart has a width and a height of the scaled bitmap - 10px. So, if I want to scale the new bitmap I think smaller than the original on, everythink seems to be OK, but when want to scale it larger, I got some problems with the top, bottom, left and right middlepart. It looks like that the starting postions of the bitmap parts had relocated by its own or evrythink else. Does anybody of your had the some problems or the is problem between my ears? Thanks a lot...

    - Uninstalling Program Using DeviceProcessConfigXml Hi All, I have developed a kind of device loader, which starts automatically when the device cradled. Using the software i want to uninstall a certain software. When i call m_rapi.DeviceProcessConfigXml(provisionFile, out output); with the following xml, it doesn't uninstall. However for some programs (i.e. compact framework or compact sql) it works pretty fine. <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="UnInstall">" <characteristic type="Program Name"> <parm name="uninstall" value="1"/> </characteristic> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> Is it that the problem is with the way of preparing the cab file?

    - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host... Hi My CF application have to be connected to a TCP server on a PC. Here is the way I do on client : [code] private void Connect(string ip, int portNumber) clientSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); clientSocket.Connect(new IPEndPoint(ip, portNumber)); receivedThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ReceiveThread)); private void ReceiveThread() { byte[] buffer = new byte[512]; int iBytesCount = 0; while (!stopThread) { try { iBytesCount = this.clientSocket.Receive(buffer, 0, this.receiveBufferSize, SocketFlags.None); ; if (iBytesCount == 0) break; } catch (Exception ex) { if (!stopThread) { throw new CommunicationException("An exception occured in received thread.", ex); } break; } ... } [/code] The first time the PPC connect to the server all is well working :) But If I shut down the Pocket PC using the power button on the device, and exception occured in the ReceivedThread method. The exception is "A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall". In this case, a Dispose the Socket and try to reconnect using the Connect method. The Socket.Connect succed but each time this line is executed : [code] iBytesCount = this.clientSocket.Receive(buffer, 0, this.receiveBufferSize, SocketFlags.None); ; [/code] I got the following exception "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host".

    - CeSetUserNotificationEx question I think I have pinvoke of CeSetUserNotificationEx working. I'm not understanding how to intercept this though once its setup. I'm trying to setup the notification to happen 3 minutes after Now and I believe I'm creating the event correctly. What I'm not understanding is how can I get my application to intercept this notification then do some actions when it happens. The problem I'm trying to get around is doing some periodic operation when the device is in suspend mode. I just need to wake up for a second check the current power state, do some operations then return the power state. If call the below function 3 minutes into the future, how can i intercept what is created? Thanks for any help this type of thing is a little out of my area of normal programming so I'm struggling a little bit. private unsafe IntPtr AddJob( SystemTime st, string AppName, string Args) { CE_NOTIFICATION_TRIGGER nt = new CE_NOTIFICATION_TRIGGER(); CE_USER_NOTIFICATION un = new CE_USER_NOTIFICATION(); IntPtr h; string dialogTextTest = "This is a test"; char* dialogText = dialogTextTest.ToCharArray(); fixed (char* pAppName = AppName.ToCharArray()) { fixed (char* pArgs = Args.ToCharArray()) { nt.Size = (UInt32)Marshal.SizeOf(nt); nt.Type = 2; nt.pAppName = pAppName; nt.pArgs = pArgs; nt.StartTime = st; un.DialogText = dialogText; h = CeSetUserNotificationEx(IntPtr.Zero, nt, un); } } return h; } Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 88026

    - Edge & 3GP, Web Service Problem Hello Friends, From last few days our users are facing one problem. We have implemented web service to communicate to server. Now the problem is, generally 3GP connection is there on devices, but sometimes when signal is weak, Edge is connected. In case of Edge, they are not able reach the server via web service. So my question is, is it possible? if yes then what kind of optimization can be done in web service call so that in weak signal also it will work? Please help me.

    - OpenNETCF.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping I've been using this to ping an IP wirelessly to see if the TCP printer is "online" wirelessly. Works great. I know that in ActiveSync debug, the wireless is disabled but I can run other syncing to a server over the lan via the ActiveSync just fine but the ping always returns either a 1 or a 1000 which aren't even IPStatus enumerations..... Any idea as to what's happening here? I'm not a network guru by any means..... Is this pinging only applicable to wireless? Why is the syncing to another server via a web service working fine yet I cannot ping the IP for that server using the OpenNETCF.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping during an ActiveSync debug session.....??? Any ideas? TIA Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 88011

    - Round to nearest Multiple? NumericUpDown Question. Sorry, a bit new at this CF. I'm looking for a function that will allow me round the min from a now() function to the nearest 15. So for example if it's 9:31 I would like it to return 30 i've got TimeID set as a string: TimeId = FormatDateTime(Now(), DateFormat.ShortTime) which is working fine. and using mid or right am able to get the min separated, but the rounding functions seem to just round to whole numbers. I'd be fine with a floor or ceiling command too, so that 9:31 would return either 30 or 45. I'm using a numericupdown to get the user of the form to input time in increments of 15min. And I guess since I'm on the topic is there anyway to make a NumericUpDown control flip? Using my original example. if I'm at 45 and press up I'd like it to revert back to 00. thanks in advance Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87998

    - Synchronisation of data Hi group I have an application that take file from devices put them on the Host PC throw active Sync, and send them to a server. this application use a third party software to synchronise data from the Host PC to the server. The system run good from 4 years, and now we have a bug. I discover that the third part society is closed, and the product never maintain anymore. I have to change it. Do you know about a good sync for folders ? I saw plenty of it, but i have no time to compare myself, and suppose somebody have allready done this. in an perfect world, it would be open source, so i can maintain myself and have no problem with closed third part. More, is there any tools that allows to take remote control of a device from a PC, throw the web (intra extra or internet) throw a Host PC, and then throw Active Sync ? (may be i have a new concept !!) Thank you for your help Romain TAILLANDIER www.maintag.fr www.cocktail-ludik.org romaintaillandier.blogspot.com Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87993

Unfortunately, serving SOAP requests is not supported by the .NET CF framework. That's why we have a strong interest in third-party libraries providing this functionality.

    - Calling a managed (C#) DLL from unmanaged (C++) code in Windows CE Hi folks, I know that what I want to achieve works in the "big" framework but I also read (on the blog of the developer group of the compact framework itself !) that it should work on Windows CE devices, too. The only problem: up to now I found no explanation or example, *how* it can be achieved to call a managed DLL (CF 2.0) from an unmanaged EXE (eVC 4) on a Windows CE device (Mobile 2003 or Windows CE 5.0). I've already gone most of the way by following some examples for the "big" framework - the only (?) problem left is the registration of the managed DLL on the device so that the EXE cannot find the DLL and its exported methods. Any idea how to register the DLL on the device or how else the DLL could be loaded? Any help or links to tutorials, posts or examples are welcome! TIA, Roland Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87983

    - Application gone after power on I'm having a strange and almost undebuggable program. During my development, my PDA (a Socket SoMo, and previously an HP) is generally sitting in the cradle and it's powered through the night, so when I come back in the morning the application is still running and everything is fine. However, our sales people take out the PDAs now and the product is beginning to sell. Customers and salesfolk are finding that occasionally (once every 50 times or so) when the PDA is powered down, they power it up and find that the application is just not there. No exception or anything. It's just gone. Since the application disables the taskbar and it starts up automatically, this generally means they are sitting at the today screen and can't do anything. As a temporary fix, I will write a secondary application that keeps checking every 5 seconds (or on power up) that the primary application is running and restarts it if it isn't.. but does anyone know how I can try to track this problem, or if it has been seen before. Any help would be appreciated. Taha Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87962

    - Hooking the power button Hi. There are so many strange things that happen when my iPaq is "off" (stand by mode). My application is sometimes logging activity at 00:00 for several seconds. Sometimes it is waked up and keep logging activity for several hours. Lots of strange things. I must avoid this and detect when the system is in stand by and when it is really awake. Any ideas? I thought of the following, and be happy to get your comments: 1. Check the battery drain... I guess it suppose to be really low when we are in stand by even though there's this phantom wakeup. 2. Hook all messages and intercept the power button. I saw an application doing that, but have no idea how to perform it on c#. As far as I remember, the "journalrecordproc" is obslete since somewhere in the 90's (95?). 3. look for a pixel on screen to decide? I wonder if I'll still get the answer from the image memory and there will be no difference at all if I'm awake or some kind of zombie. 4. Pray that future versions will have only 3 modes: on, off and real standby... and wait for these versions... :) Thanks Empi. Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87960

The problem I'm running into is if the ListBox2.Height isn't divisible by ItemHeight perfectly then the last item in the list doesn't show and its just a large white box. It seems that NOINTEGRALHEIGHT isn't available on the ListBox2 or I'm not sure how to use it.

    - Memoryleak - garbage collector / WinCe 5.0 / CF 2.0 Hello, IÂ´m programming a C# application on Windows CE 5.0 and CF 2.0. This application should run permanently (24h/7days). I realized that the garbage collector (gc) does not free all the allocated memory. Thus after a while (a few days) an OutOfMemory-exception occurs. I wrote a small test application: In a function I created a form (Form frm = new Form();) which is shown by ShowDialog(). I figured out that after closing this form and leaving the function, some memory fragments wonÂ´t be freed by the gc (>= 4KB). This behavior occurs when member variables (lists, bitmaps,...) are declared in this created form. If I declare this member variables within a function (stack) the memory will be totally freed. As I can see there is a bug in Visual Studio 2005. The object â??componentsâ?? is created, but never used by the designer. The overridden dispose-function in the designer.cs frees all the objects in the componets-object but â?? as I said â?? this object is never beeing used. I customized all overrides of dispose() in the designer.cs: /// <summary> /// Clean up any resources being used. /// </summary> /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param> protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (disposing && this.Controls != null) { this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container(); foreach (Control o in this.Controls) components.Add(o); components.Dispose(); } base.Dispose(disposing); } Now, most of the memory is freed but periodically there still remain some fragments in the memory (>=4KB up to 64KB (?)). I also noticed that running this application on a desktop pc with the â??bigâ?? :NET framework â?? no memoryloak persists! Has anyone noticed the same behaviour and/or found a solution for it? Does anyone have experience with applications running round the clock on Windows CE / CF 2.0? Are there bugs in the gc on compact framework?

Within vs2003 this worked fine both in an emulator and running the app on a device via the activesync link, but when i created a cab file for the app and installed it on my device it would not connect to the network, failing on the connect command (connecting to an endpoint) I have since moved to vs2008 and i am now unable to get my application to connect to the outside world both on the emulator and the device. I have tried opening the web browser on the emulator and am unable to access a web page, which tells me it has no internet connection. thats fair enough i can see why that wont work but when i install the app onto my device i have tried opening a normal data connection and wifi, both allow me to open web pages, but neither allow my socket to connect anyone got any ideas??

I am trying to add colour to the forms, but when I change the background colour for buttons, it shows up in the designer but not on the device. Foreground colour works ok, as does the background for forms, panels etc but not buttons. I have read elsewhere that it didn't work in CF 1.0 - is it because my project has been upgraded? Also, I want to change some of the fonts. If I click on the font property for the button it only gives me the option of Arial and Tahoma, and there is no option for bold etc. If I look at it in the 2003 code, I can choose from any font. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated. Andy Baker Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87925

    - Migrating from WM5 to WM6 Hi. I was asked to estimate how much time it will take to move a software from an iPaq 2190 to an iPaq 114. The iPaqs are almost the same but the 114 runs the wm6. 1) Is it fully compatible regarding software that was written to the wm5? 1.1) If not, what should be done in order to migrate it? 2) Any better BT programming support on the WM6? 3) Is the memory managment really gotten better and I'll be able to get all my dll's in one piece into the memory? :-) Thanks.

    - Imagelist problem To support both VGA and GVGA I have two imagelists, one containing 16*16 bit icons and the other 32*32 bit icons. Is it possible to use the same icon files for both the imagelists? It seems that both lists uses the 32*32 bit variant in the icon file. ImageSize for the imagelists are set to 32*32 and 16*16 respectively. My goal is to avoid maintaining to files for each icon. /Broeden Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87889

    - A newbie question : no need to install .NET framework on the device? Hi. I've been written desktop applications for years. One of the biggest difficulties of distributing my application has been to make the client install .NET Framework Redistributable. Now, I'm about to start writing applications for the Windows Mobile 5.0 (smart device). Since I don't have a pocket PC, I used the emulators. Using Visual Studio .NET, running the application on the emulator was very easy, but I don't see any process of installing .NET framework on the device (emulator). When I browsed to the application folder, I could only find one single exe file. Do Windows mobile come with .NET Framework installed? I know there is .NET Compact Framework Redistributable, but it seemed like it was meant to be installed on PC not on Pocket PC. When I deploying my smart device application, do I only need to give the users the executable file, like X-copy installation? Tag: WM Print Engine with PDF support Tag: 87883

    - How do I install a SSL Certificate on a WinCE 5.0 Device? Please excuse me if this has been covered previously, but I've searched for the past two days and can only find references to installing certificates (for https communications) to PocketPC, Windows Mobile 5/6, and SmartPhones but nothing about how to install a cert under WinCE5. Our host server uses a SSL Cert issued by VeriSign. I've copied the cert info to my desktop and created a _setup.xml as outlined in several posts/blogs but I can't figure out how to wrap that xml into a Visual Studio 2005 - SmartDevice CAB File... I've successfully copied the .cer file to the WinCE device (Symbol/Motorola MC3000 series), executed the Certificates applet in the Control Panel, accepted the prompt to add it to the store, and the import worked perfectly. But, is there a way for me to call CertManage.exe with some type of /silent switch so I can programmatically import the cert without user intervention? Or, is there a way for the VS2005 CAB to install the cert when it gets expanded/installed? Oh, and this version of WinCE 5.0 doesn't contain any VeriSign certs in the OEM Build. I am investigating how to properly implement these types of certificates because this device is apparently using 40 or 56-bit encryption when communicating to our SSL Servers and I'm trying to increase the encryption level to 128-bit. Our IT Dept increased the security levels on our servers to 128-bit and all of a sudden my .NET 2.0 CF apps were unable to communicate with the servers until they lowered it back down to 40 or 56-bit (something like that). And I do believe another side-effect of these "low-bit" encryption communications (or improperly accepting all cert discrepancies using the CheckValidationResult method in the LocalCertificatePolicy) are the fact the all of my SOAP Requests greater than or equal to 34K become corrupt towards the end of the file, but ONLY when communicating to our SSL Servers. So I know I'm doing something wrong in regards to supporting 128-bit encryption... I appreciate any and all responses, Thank you!

Private Function Download(ByVal strSource As String, _ ByVal strDestination As String) As Boolean Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor Application.DoEvents() Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest Dim response As HttpWebResponse = Nothing Dim s As Stream = Nothing Try request = WebRequest.Create(strSource) request.Method = "GET" ' read file content response = request.GetResponse() s = response.GetResponseStream() Dim b() As Byte = New Byte(response.ContentLength) {} s.Read(b, 0, b.Length) ' save file into local storage If File.Exists(strDestination) Then File.Delete(strDestination) End If Dim fs As Stream = File.OpenWrite(strDestination) fs.Write(b, 0, b.Length) fs.Close() Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strSource) Finally If Not response Is Nothing Then response.Close() If Not s Is Nothing Then s.Close() End Try Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default End Function The download works fine and all however when I download a CAB or EXE file for use on the device the format is unrecognized by the device and will not run.

Hi,

Currently there is NO SDK with Pdf printing support.
Sad but true... (The last was HP Printing Mobile + Westek.
Unfortunately project was frozen).

Can anyone explain why we have such situation on the market?

Pdf is ideal format to tranfer reports, documents... Plus there is
WM software which can create or print to pdf format,
but no software(SDK) which can print pdf...

Thanks.
