    - How to say "Shared" and "Overwrite Newer Only" for controls? In an INF file[1], you specify that a control is "Shared" by giving it the 0x80000000 flag, like so: "Adosync.Dll",,,0x80000000 But how do you tell it to automatically overwrite a control ONLY if it is newer than the one on the device (as well as having it Shared), and otherwise not overwrite any of them, and not ask any questions when the CAB is installing? According to the MSDN (again, see [1] below), 0x20000000 means "Do not copy file if target file is newer." But does this mean a) it *will* copy newer ones automatically, WITHOUT asking, b) the older ones *won't* copy, again WITHOUT asking, and c) the combo of "Shared" and "Overwrite Newer Only" is 0xA0000000? (i.e., 0x80000000 ORed with 0x20000000)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

    - WINCE.NET 4.1, 4.2 and VS.NET 2003 Connection Together with my new Visual Studio.NET 2003 i made following experiences: 1)I cannot connect VS Studio via Active Sync with Wince.net devices without using one trick: First i select a PPC Device and i will get a "connect" Then i select Wince.net device and the connection is OK. 2.The wince.net images contain .NET runtime components but the VS deploys those components again, but non- persistant as it is deployed into the ram-filesystem. It seems, that programs, which are deployed manually are running without copying the runtime components from VS.NET 3. Having done the quarterly update to wince.net 4.2 the .net applications on the device do not even run if the the applications are deployed manually. 4. Removing the quarterly update confirm point 3. 5. As an extension to point 1: Even depoyment of software is possible choosing a PPC Device instead of a WINCE.NET device. The deployed software seems to run correctly. Has anybody made the same experiences ? Any hope to connect and deploy choosing the right device without deploying the instant .net framework inside the wince image again ? Tag: Retrieve Mobile Device name in ActiveSync Tag: 4674

    - ImageList Problem I am having a problem with VS 2003 and images, or resources, or the ImageList. It doesn't matter how many different lists I have, but somewhere between 18 and 28 images I get an exception in the initialization portion of the form. The exception always shows up on the line after the last resource is loaded. I have seen a very similar problem in VS 2002 when targeting PCs but with lots more images (200+). The exception doesn't give any additional information to pass on. I have worked around the problem by loading the images from files at runtime. My questions are: Is this a known problem? If so, is there another workaround? Thanks, Allen Tag: Retrieve Mobile Device name in ActiveSync Tag: 4660

    - Diffs between PPC2002 and Windows Mobile for PPC 2003 In 'My App' I have a button which when tapped minimises the app and when tapped and held closes the app. (The button is a version of the 'image button' posted around the CF websites, apologies to it's original author, I forget for now who posted the original) This works fine on PPC2002 but on WMforPPC2003 the area of the underlying Today screen beneath the button does not get redrawn, leaving initailly a ghost of the button in it's tap and hold state and subsequently a ghost of that portion of any other application run. I have tried various techniques to resolve this on theWMforPPC2003 device (in this case an Ipaq 2210) to no avail. My current app close code is in essence : Me.Hide() MySleep(500) ' A call to the API Sleep, in case 'things were happening too quickly' on the WMf0rPPC2003 device ' An attempt (successful) to destroy the window as all else seemed to fail Dim hWindow As IntPtr hWindow =FindWindow(Nothing, Me.Text) Me.Text = "" SendMessage(hWindow, WM_DESTROY,0,0) MySleep(500) ' Ditto Me.Close() To re-iterate all the above works fine on PPC2002 (in fact it works without the .Hide, the sleeps, and the window Destroy.... the simple .Close is enough) Any ideas anyone? Is it WMPforPPC2003, the Ipaq, the CF runtime. Having typed all this out, I've had a thought... could it be that the CF Runtime SP1 has been installed on the PPC2002 nad I need to force an install of it onto the 2003 device?

I placed the attribute just below the last using statement. I also tried moving it to AssemblyInfo.cs (is that the best place anyway?) and still no CLS compliance errors in VStudio.

    - How to create modal, SIP-like control? Essentially, we are trying to recreate a modal form on the compact framework. We want to create an application in which two forms will be open at one time, a parent and a floating toolbar. The user must be able to see and use either form without closing the other. The toolbar must be moveable and must float over the parent form. This is similar to the way the SIP works. There are a few issues: 1) how to resize a form? 2) how to keep two forms open and visible at one time? Easy to do in regular .NET, difficult in CF. Any ideas? Is eVC the only option?

However, if I change the band to 900/1800 MHz through GSMDemo (a program provided by Symbol that lets you change GPRS parameters), then after exiting GSMDemo I can no longer open the COM9 port using my code (included below - the GetDevice method is being passed "COM9:" as a parameter).

    - Edit Menu Error please help! Hello, I converter the Edit Menu C# project found at... http://www.businessanyplace.net/?p=code to be VB.NET CF code and after toying with it i got it down to one error that happens on all the lines of code below. The same error occurs on all the lines where it says "system.uint32" the error is: "Constants must be an intrinsic or enumerated type, not a class, structure, or array type." what does this mean? What do i change it to be? Thanks a lot, -Tim P.S. Do i have to change the "&H..." signs too to be something else? If so, what?

    - AutoUpdate over 802.11 I have searched a lot for this and haven't found any answers. I need my program to go out and check for an update and if there is one download it install it and then delete itself and launch the new version. Any suggestions or links to articles. Thanks, John Tag: Retrieve Mobile Device name in ActiveSync Tag: 4414

When a mobile Device is docked we create a new partnership. In the end of
that process we give it a name.
Is there any way to programmatically get this name from ActiveSync?

You can access the DeviceName on the device using:-
System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
This is what you will see in Settings > System > About > DeviceID
