    - Problem with design controls (This message is cross-posted in vsnet.ide and dotnet.framework.compactframework as I am not sure where it belongs) Hi! I've converted a Compact Framework solution from VS2003 to VS2005. The solution contains several projects, one main project and a number of subprojects (i.e. winapi, serialport, GPS, custom controls etc.). After opening the project in VS2005 I step through the conversion wizard, no problems occurs. But, at this point I can't add any custom controls to forms in design view. - This only happens to this specific project (the main project)! - I can upgrade my subprojects, for instance the CustomControls solution and add custom controls to it's testform. - I can also create new projects and add the custom controls in design time! - I can add standard controls without problem to any project! To be able to add a ImageControl from the SDK from the maker of our PDAs I need to upgrade the project to CF2. I get the same error message here when the project is upgraded and I try to add the ImageControl to a form. ### So something is messing up the designer using custom controls in this particular project! ### I actually managed to add the ImageControl to the migrated and upgrade project once, I thought I did something right (which I did wrong previously) so I started correcting and adding small changes throughout the code, and when I got to the point when I really needed to add the ImageControl again, I get the same error!!! Note! The error occurs on other controls as well, I am using the ImageControl as it is a well tested 3rd party control. Here's the error I get, it also causes VS to crash (I've sent an error report some of the times): Failed to create component 'ImageControl'. The error message follows: 'System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Resources.Tools.StronglyTypedResourceBuilder.DefineResourceFetchingProperty(... See this link for a image of the error message: http://tinyurl.com/rkh69 - I've reinstalled VS2005 - I've re-run the VS2003-2005 migration a zillion times removing bits each time (references etc). - I've removed all subprojects from the solution migrating only the mainproject Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 Installed Edition: Professional Microsoft Visual C# 2005 77626-009-0000007-41585 Microsoft Visual C# 2005 WinXP Prof ver. 2002 SP2 I think that's all I can come up with for now.

    - About the Focused Form Thanks for your response. Paul. The reason of a form always be focused is that: It can make the form react with the FunctionKey at any time. In my device there are some FunctionKeys and a small keyboard, the FuctionKeys should be responsed at the instance the user push it. So I let the Form always Focused to recieve all key event and dispatch the non-FunctionKey event to the cotrol in it. Does you has better solution? thank you very much.

It only works on the assemblies with no white spaces in the assembly name. I have tried multiple combination without success. As there are while spaces in the name, I have to put two double quotes on the two ends of the file name: string strTestLib = "CF Test Lib For GAC"; //The dll without extension string strCommand = "\" + strTestLib + \"" + " ,Version=1.0.9.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=70b83542ad6dde68"; or string strCommand = '"' + strTestLib + '"' + " ,Version=1.0.9.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=70b83542ad6dde68"; Process.Start("cgacutil.exe", " /uf " + strCommand); Any ideas?

    - My own autoupdater - problem Hello, I have created an autoupdater webservice for my PPC2003 application, and have managed to retrieve the download.cab from my web service on my device. Next, however, while trying to install the new version, I run into the fundamental problem of not being able to run the installer cab, since the old version of the application (which has spawned the autoupdate request) is still running. When wceload then tries to install the cab, it rightfully complains of a lock on the application executable, not being able to overwrite the currently runnning version. Of course the simplest workaround would be to let the user run the update.cab file after closing the application, but there is no guarantee my user base will be tech-savy enough to perform the necessary actions (that is, a) open an explorer and b) let wceload.exe execute the cab-file by clicking on it). I can think of some other options (create a process which kills the current user application), but they don't seem elegant, requiring much works for something that is or seems to be so simple. Is there a simple solution for this problem? Thanks in advance, Martijn Cox Tag: Get Unique Device ID for a PPC 2003 Device Tag: 74895

    - Using System.Net.Socket over gprs.. Hi folks, Experimenting with the idea of using system.net.sockets for some very simple 'push-messaging' over GPRS where the server/listener is running the mobile device and the client runs on a PC. I'm more than aware of all the issues surrounding change of ipaddress/availability etc relating to a mobile device connecting via GPRS. Right now, the device is connected and whilst testing it's ipaddress does not change or loose it's connection, unless there is something more subtle going on, the basic connection does not appear to be a problem. A very simple client/server app runs fine when the device is on the local network, but the client fails to connect to the mobile server when the server is connected with GPRS. However, switching the apps around and running the server on the PC and the client on the GPRS device works fine. It is almost like the provider is port blocking the incoming connection to the mobile device but allowing the outgoing connection (it's not a local firewall/router issue). Does this sound plausible, I'm using Orange in the UK (APN: orangeinternet)? I have also tried running an FTP server on the device, this works fine normally, but when trying to connect to it over the GPRS, it fails, as does trying to ping the device.

    - Button not visible in TabPage .NET CF 1.0 SP3, PocketPC 4.20.0.14053, Device: Intermec CN2B I have a panel with a tab control with two tab pages and a button named 'ok'. If the selected tab page changes I'm adding that button to the selected tab page: Private Sub tabControl_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tabControl.SelectedIndexChanged Me.tabControl.TabPages(Me.tabControl.SelectedIndex).Controls.Add(Me.ok) End Sub I think this code should automatically remove the button from the deselected tab and add it to the selected tab. My problem is that the button is not visible after changing the tab page. but if I click at the position where the button should be, the button is clicked. In my application the button is located at the bottom left corner of the panel. so, the position of the button is covered by the menu, if I open it. after opening and closing the menu the button is suddenly visible. so I thought that the problem is that the button was not repainted. but adding Refresh() and Invalidate() methods of the panel, tabcontrol, tabpage, button does not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Tag: Get Unique Device ID for a PPC 2003 Device Tag: 74882

    - Switching between networks I have a VB.NET 2003 application running on a CE 4.2 device, that connects wirelessly to an SQL Server 2000 database running on a PC network. The device also connects via the internal 802.11b card to a wireless portable printer. I have both of these parts of the application running OK, but my problem is that I have to manually switch between the 2 connections. I need my application to do this automatically. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I also have a problem with IP addresses. Currently, when connected to the network, the CE device receives an automatic IP address, but with the printer I have to set up a static IP address. Can this be set up from the application, or am I better off using one static IP address for both parts. If this is the case do I need to set up the network to use the same set of IP addresses as the printer(s)?Thanks in advance. Andy Baker Tag: Get Unique Device ID for a PPC 2003 Device Tag: 74880

    - CF 2.0: INotifyPropertyChanged doesn't behave good with ListBox Hi to everyone, I've faced, and found a workaround, for the following problem: 1. Having a collection of objects implemented through BindingList<OrderRow> 2. OrderRow implements INotifyPropertyChanged to track changes to properties, in particular to the quantity one. The collection is bound to a ListBox via BindingSource. When I add/remove items from the collection, the listbox gets updated the correct way. If I add the same objects multiple times to the collection the listbox updates _only_ the quantity of the object displayed on the first row! E.g.: Nr. 1 - My first row Nr. 1 - My second row Adding another 1 quantity of "My first row" produces: Nr. 2 - My first row Nr. 1 - My second row This holds true for each quantity of "My first row" added. Adding another 1 quantity of "My second row" produces: Nr. 2 - My first row Nr. 1 - My second row During debug I found the quantities gets updated correctly in the collection. Also, after struggling, found that replacing the listbox with a datagrid solved the problem. What's wrong with ListBox? Thanks for your help.

    - CF 2.0: Problem with DataGrid and decimal column Hi to everyone, This is the very first application I'm writing in C# .Net 2.0 for a Smart device. I've a class which, among its properties, there's one whose type is decimal. This class' instances are bound to a datagrid via BindingSource. When debugging via the emulator the datagrid correctly reports the value in the decimal property. Deploying the application to the pocket pc (WM 5.0) everything works ok except for the decimal column. E.g.: If the property has a value of 0.52, the emulator displays 0.52 (as I expected), while on the pocketpc it displays 52! Summing up the column values for each row in the datagrid actually produces the sum of only the fractionary parts! I've read over the internet that with CF 1.1 there was a problem with decimal columns, is it true? Does this still holds true for CF 2.0? Thanks in advance for your help.

I've downloaded and compiled the POOM but was surprised to see this only gives access to Contact information! Not able to send an email from that.

    - some changes Hey yfujiki, A couple of things I would change to get this code working. The connection string properties for SqlCe are a reduced set of those available for the full .NET framework. Initial Catalog, User ID, don't show up in the documentation. I'm not sure if it is explicitly required, but normally, the connection is opened before the command is created. Also, you need to create a SqlCe... Connection, Command, etc.. as opposed to a Sql... Connection, Command, etc. Hope the following helps. public void Form1_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) { string strconn = @"Data Source=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, YYYY;Persist Security Info=True; Password=password"; string strGetEmpls = " SELECT * from emp "; try { using (SqlCeConnection conndb = new SqlCeConnection(strconn)) { conndb.Open(); using (SqlCeCommand cmndb = new SqlCeCommand(strGetEmpls, conndb)) { using (SqlCeDataReader rdr = cmndb.ExecuteReader()) { while (rdr.Read()) { MessageBox.Show((String)rdr["emp_name"]); } } } } } catch (SqlException ex) { foreach (SqlError err in ex.Errors) { MessageBox.Show(err.Message); } } } Good Luck, fi Tag: Get Unique Device ID for a PPC 2003 Device Tag: 74845

    - PDA with usb host support and programming on VS2003 Hi, I was looking for a PDA with USB host controller so that I can connect a USB dongle that could be recognized by it. Also are there any PDA's that anybody has come across wwith RS232 support. I know that we can use the serial port of the PDA that is used for Active-Sync. However since that is proprietary, is there any way i could get a standard serila port output. Is there any third party hardware/software that could be used for this conversion. We currently have USB device that connects to a PC and gets recognized as serial port device.This USB device emulates a serial device. The program to control it is written in VS2003.Now I would like to know if there are any PDA's that would allow me to connect this USB device( I could change the firm ware to behave as USB rather than emulate a serial device). Alternatively i could also change the design to a serial port if there are any PDA's that would allow serial communication. Can i use VS2003/pocket pc SDK for doing similar work on a PDA? The TDS recon is one such PDA...but it way too expensive. Any input is welcome. Thanks in advance Regards, Swaroop Shekar Tag: Get Unique Device ID for a PPC 2003 Device Tag: 74834

Hi,
I am developing an Application for Windows CE.NET 4.2 Devices and PPC2002
Devices from LXE Manufacturer.
These are LXE MX5 Devices with integrated Scanners.

I used the code from the below path to get the Device ID.
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/util/srcview.aspx?path=/quickstart/CompactFramework/samples/deviceid/deviceid.src&file=cs\Deviceid.cs&font=3

But this code is returning the same Device ID for all the CE.Net Devices we
have.
Is there any way i can get some unique ID for these Devices.

Thanks in Advance,
Murthy

For those generations of devices, there was no requirement from Microsoft
that forced the device OEMs into making the Device ID unique for every
device. If your devices have network capabilities, you could use the MAC
address of the NIC as that should be unqiue to each device.
