    - Drawing an Image at Full Screen I want to draw an image at full screen (use the full 320x240 screen dimensions). Ideally, I'd like to be able to show the image such that my application's form remains focused -- eg. Display the image within a control within my form; have a 'Go FullScreen' menu option which then would paint the image at full screen; and then if the user presses one of the menu keys, the image go back to 'windowed' mode and the menu action takes place as if it were in 'windowed' mode. So step one is drawing the image at full screen. Is there any way for a control to draw itself outside of its bounds? How does the media player control go into full screen?

    - Can Compact WCF be extended for duplex communication? I am trying to confirm whether duplex communication is at all possible using .NET Compact Framework support for WCF. Our Windows CE device is not a mobile device and I would think some sort of duplex communication should be supported. However, I see where only basic http & custom bindings are supported. Basic Http obviously won't meet my needs, but I also don't even see how custom bindings can help me. I would need to write a custom channel, but it doesn't seem that will meet my goals either. ChannelBase is supported by the Compact Framework, however IDuplexChannel is not. I guess I'm looking for comfirmation ( positive or negative) on whether Compact WCF can be extended to support duplex communication w/ a device running Windows CE.

    - Message queues This is all .NET 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 I have a simple app on Windows Vista-64 that creates a messaging queue. FormatName:DIRECT=OS:david-1\private$\callerid. The app then writes a couple of entries. I have verified that the entries have been correctly created with the Computer Management tool. I now have a simple app written for the compact framework on an HP iPAQ HP 2790. MSMQ has been installed on it. When I call MessageQueue.Exists(@"david-1\private$\callerid"), it returns false. I can call this code: IPAddress[] addresses = Dns.GetHostEntry("david-1").AddressList; and the correct address comes back so I know networking and dns are working properly. Is there something special that I have to do on the Vista-64 machine or on the iPAQ to make this work? Tag: Upgrade project from PPC2003 to Mobile 5 Tag: 87155

    - How to create a floating/resizable/movable dialog/form without I want to create a floating dialog/window that when moved resembles the way a MessageBox is moved. When you bring up a MessageBox and click on the title and drag the MessageBox to a different location, a frame (also known as border or rectangle) appears over the dimensions of the MessageBox and while you drag the MessageBox, only this frame moves while the content area of the frame is transparent. I have looked up solutions for creating transparent controls but I believe that this is the wrong solution. For starters, when a MessageBox is moved, there is no flickering at all. This tells me that the frame is probably not a control of any sorts, because if it were it would require that the background be updated very quickly and this does not appear possible using anything that inherits from a base control. I believe that the frame is being drawn as a rectangle on top of a bitmap of the entire form (or entire screen) and that double buffering must be used to eliminate flickering. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised that only the grahic areas behind the actual frame lines are being updated and nothing within the frame. This allows for the fastest updating possible while the frame is being moved around. So, it's possible that when a mouse down even is detected by the MessageBox control on the title area, a snapshot of the entire form or screen is taken and then a rectangle is drawn at the same location where the MessageBox is located. When the user moves the mouse while it is down, the code is effectively redrawing the frame on a different location of the snapshot. Then again, maybe I am wrong. Perhaps the drawing of this MessageBox is an internal piece of code that access the drawing buffer of the device and simply just draws on it. If this is so, I am not aware of whether there is an API that would allow me to do the same. In other words, some API that simply says, "DrawFrame". Finally, I also want to be able to resize the dialog/form. A MessageBox cannot be resized so I would obviously need to come up with a radically new solution. And while resizing, it cannot flicker. So my assumption here is that I will probably need to take a snapshot myself and handle the the moving/resizing. Has anyone done this before or at least know of an API that lets me take a snapshot of the entire screen (or just the form) ? Thank you Johann Tag: Upgrade project from PPC2003 to Mobile 5 Tag: 87154

    - ObjectDisposedException without an ObjectName We have a program that has been in development for a number of years now, and it has created a fairly sizable startup routine that, on occasion, throws an ObjectDisposedException. We are logging the error, but it seems to occur at different places every time. In other words, it is difficult to debug. The main problem is that the ObjectName property of the ObjectDisposedException is always an empty string, as this VB.NET example: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Try Dim Test As New Button Test.Name = "ObjectTest" Test.Text = "Not yet disposed" Test.Dispose() System.GC.Collect() Test.Text = "This object is disposed" MessageBox.Show(Test.Text) Catch ObEx As ObjectDisposedException MessageBox.Show(ObEx.ObjectName) End Try End Sub This always throws the ObjectDisposedException, and the name is always a blank string. If the code is run in .NET full, then the ObjectName is "ObjectTest". Is this something we are doing wrong? Does anyone have any pointers as to a better way we can try to find this exception?

    - Simply obtaining the Mobile Phone Number of the User Hello all, I have written an application used by a large number of remote sales staff. When they sync their daily data, I want to know what phone number (SIM) they have in their smartphone. I have already used the TAPI to find the IMEI of the device.

    - Updating DataRow throws Exception 0xC0000005 Hi guys, I'm facing a very puzzling problem and thought maybe someone here could help. It's been driving me nuts, really. I'm developing a Windows CE application (to be deployed in Windows CE 4.2 core) and my emulator is running Windows CE .NET v4.10 (build 908). I don't have a device with me now where I could test the software, unfortunately (that's still being arranged). One of the code bits is a button to consolidate data, merging rows in a DataTable: [CODE] private void btnConsolidar_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { for( int j=0; j < dataTable.Rows.Count; j++ ) { DataRow row1 = dataTable.Rows[j]; String ean = (String)row1["ean"]; String cod = (String)( ( row1["codigo"] == null ) ? "" : row1["codigo"] ); int idx; for( idx=j+1; idx < dataTable.Rows.Count; idx++ ) { DataRow row2 = dataTable.Rows[idx]; if( ((String)row2["ean"]) == ean || (cod != "" && ((String)row2["codigo"]) == cod )) { long q1 = long.Parse((string)row1["quant"]); long q2 = long.Parse((string)row2["quant"]); if( bConferencia ) { if( (string)row1["quant1"] == "0" ) { string q = (string)row2["quant1"]; //row1["quant1"] = q; dataTable.Rows[j]["quant1"] = q; // CRASH! } if( (string)row1["quant2"] == "0" ) //row1["quant2"] = (string)row2["quant2"]; dataTable.Rows[j]["quant2"] = (string)row2["quant2"]; } row1["quant"] = q1+q2; // remove a fileira copiada dataTable.Rows.RemoveAt( idx ); //dataTable.AcceptChanges(); // row1 = dataTable.Rows[j]; // compensa a fileira removida idx--; } } } dgItens.DataSource = dataTable; dgItens.Refresh(); } [/CODE] Please forgive the commented extra code, I've been adding and removing scaffolding looking for the problem. What this does is something like this: suppose you have three rows, thus: A 0 0 7 B 4 3 0 A 0 0 3 C 1 5 0 A 2 2 0 It consolidates the same products to: A 2 2 10 B 4 3 0 It works when you only have one product repeated (i.e., only one row1 is updated). However, if there are several repeated products, A 0 0 7 B 0 0 5 A 2 2 0 B 4 3 0 the system crashes with a native exception (code 0xC0000005, which research shows is an illegal memory access exception) when I try to update the second row in the table (line marked "CRASH!", above). Note that the first update goes well! Also, if I set it up with only one product repeated, press the button, set it up with another product repeated, and press the button again, it works. I'm guessing it has to do with the way DataTable updates its rows, but so far, I've had no luck figuring the problem out. I'll greatly appreciate any help I can get! Thanks in advance, Shade.

The overriden Derived form function breakpoints are working correctly, but the base form overridable function breakpoints are not working. --> From the dervied form function, i am calling the base form function using MYBASE.functionName(here in debug mode it is not going to the base function eventhough i kept the breakpoint in the base function).

I have a simple problem - when I try to access a networkfolder with my PocketPC the password prompt can't carry all characters of my password, so I like to write a simple application which is able to connect my networkfolders.

    - 'System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter' is not an attribute class Ok, I thought that TypeConverter was an attribute class? I've even seen examples of it used on this compact framework forum. Could somebody please tell me what I'm missing? The error I get when I try to compile is, "'System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter' is not an attribute class". Intellisense doesn't show the TypeConverter when I try to add it by using System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter. I'm using CF 2.0 SP 2 and coding with Visual Studio 2008. using System.ComponentModel; namespace ComputersUnlimited.BusinessObjects.Core.DomainValues { [TypeConverter( typeof( DomainValueConverter<string, StringDomainValue> ) )] public struct StringDomainValue { private string mValue; public StringDomainValue( string value ) { mValue = value; } public string Value { get { return Value; } } } internal class DomainValueConverter<TInput, TOutput> : TypeConverter { /* Standard Stuff Here */ } } Any help would be appriciated!, Thanks Jerod.

    - CAB install project for both PPC2003 and WM5 Hi, I have a project that needs cab install files for both PPC2003 and WM5. It works for both, but only so long as I set the target platform (in the project) to what i want and then rebuild the cab. To the get a cab for the other target, I have to change it again and build again. Is there any way that I can have two cab build projects in my solution that builds one cab for each target platform without the need for manually changing the target and rebuilding ?

    - Strange DLL problem? Hi all. I have a strange problem: Hardware: Psion industry-PDA running Windows Mobile 6 + .NET Compact Framework (2.0 I think). Problem: On that unit I run a small shell program named AppLauncher (home made, .net), that I can use to start other programs. Now I choose to let this shell program start another .NET program called 'RDC': RDC.EXE is located in its own folder. RDC.EXE starts and runs as planned, and RDC makes use of a few other DLL's. Among these DLLs is PtxSdkCommon.dll which is a DLL interfacing to the handheld's hardware. PtxSdkCommon.dll may be a 'normal' (unmanaged) dll. After having finished working with the RDC program I close it, and I find myself back in the shell program. Everything looks fine, except for the fact, that the PtxSdkCommon.dll is still reported to be in use - thus it cannot be deleted from the file system! This is very strange, because when I check the list of running programs, the RDC program is not (and should not be) present in the list - only the shell program is listed. Despite that the shell program has absolutely no knowledge of the PtxSdkCommon.dll, that DLL reamains locked until I kill the shell program. Only then the PtxSdkCommon.dll can be deleted. It is only that particular DLL, that is locked - all other DLLs that the RDC program uses can be deleted without any problems. What is happening here??? It should be mentioned, that if I just start the shell program *without* letting it start the RDC program, then there is no problem in deleting the PtxSdkCommon.dll. Technical background information: The shell program starts the RDC program this way: 1) The shell program creates a new AppDomain for the RDC program to run in: executingDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(...); 2) The shell program starts a new thread that in turn starts the RDC program this way: executingDomain.ExecuteAssembly( <path to RDC.EXE> ) This call does not return until RDC.EXE is closed by the user. 3) When RDC.EXE is closed the call above returns, and the thread tears down the AppDomain: AppDomain.Unload( executingDomain ) It's being checked that AppDomain.Unload(...) does not cause any exceptions, so the unload of the AppDomain is assumed to have completed successfully. It should be said, though, that it's not the same thread that takes care of both creation and unloading the AppDomain. Does that matter? According to the documentation a succesfull unload should guarantee that all threads have been killed and all assemblies freed, right? How can the PtxSdkCommon.dll then remain locked??? How can I overcome the problem? (I need to be able to upgrade/replace all the files in the RDC folder, including the PtxSdkCommon.dll, without closing down the shell program or rebooting the device). Hope that someone can explain. -Martin. Tag: Upgrade project from PPC2003 to Mobile 5 Tag: 86978

    - Bad flicker effects in interactive mode Hi, I wrote an application where you can create your own graph by adding curve points into a coordinate system grid. The grid is placed on a panel. Also you can pick the control points and drag them to another spot. If I do so, I get such a bad flicker effect (only in the panel) and sometimes the whole background is blank. In my MouseMove method I do all the interactive stuff and update the panel with panel.Invalidate(). Any idea? Cheers Tag: Upgrade project from PPC2003 to Mobile 5 Tag: 86976

Hi,

I have a project written for Pocket PC 2003. It has been written in VS2005.
Is there a quick way to upgrade the project to target Mobile 5? My app will
run on Mobile 5 but I was wanting to upgrade the entire project to target
Mobile 5 if possible.

Cheers,
