    - Updating a device in the field? (Trickle deployments?) Hi, Some background on my solution: Iâ??m developing a warehouse application using hand held scanners. My application is .Net compact framework 2.0 running on windows mobile 5. Using the CAB. With communication to my server using GPRS. My problem is this: I canâ??t bring the devices back into head office to perform bug fixes and upgrades to my application. The devices will need to speak to a service that sends them updates while out in the field. My application already makes use of web services for communication with the device. My question is: I need a rock solid approach to updating my application the device. Iâ??m assuming this is a common problem? So is there a best practice or standard approach for solving this problem? Many thank is advance! Kind regards, Andrew Stone. Tag: OS Version Tag: 72795

    - V2 breaks app Hi, i have an app that loads SplashScreen on startup. Thi is done via a DrawImage call on a bitmap in the Splash form's OnPaintBackgroundEvent. The SplashForm itself is called via ShowDialog. In V1.0 in the Slpash Forms load event handler i call the Refresh method and this causes the OnPaintBackGround event handler to be called so it works fine. With V2.0 i am finding the OnPaintbackGround event is not even firing so the bitmap can't be displayed. What has changed with this stuff in V2.0. i am using exactly the same code.

    - bindingsource Hello guys, I have a big problem. I'm building a new project where is important to create a data table starting from a configuration file, so I tryed to use a DataTable component because each data have different name (column) and if a different type (typeof) like byte, UInt16, etc. At the end of the configuration in my public dt I create a row, row[0] and this is already to write and read new data. Application is strongly connected with a communication protocol (CAN BUS) where the data just tabled must be read or write, half & half, with a sync time of 2ms. I tryed to do it, just one data for check: dt.Rows[0][@"PositionActualValue_Axe00"] = ppp++;" this is in the communication sync thread. Application performances decline !!! If I renunce at dynamic list building I could prepare an array with fixed dimension, for example 4096 Uint32 to exchange with field the data. Why ?? If I use a property value with same intentions of the dt to get it in my finally application in to a binding source that is very fast and the "NotifyPropertyChanged(@"PositionActualValue_Axe00");" is perfect, I tryed to exchange one data and working good, but I don't how to transform a list like this: private UInt32[] mProvaBinding = new UInt32[4096]; public UInt32 [] ProvaBinding { get { return mProvaBinding; throw new System.NotImplementedException(); } set { mProvaBinding = value; NotifyPropertyChanged(@"ProvaBinding"); } } to a declaration for my final application where: [final appl] bindingSource1.Add(c1000_000_011); //object source declaration axe_000.DataBindings.Add(@"Rp", bindingSource1, @"ProvaBinding[0]"); //property: how call right index axe_001.DataBindings.Add(@"Rp", bindingSource1, @"ProvaBinding[1]"); axe_002.DataBindings.Add(@"Rp", bindingSource1, @"ProvaBinding[2]"); this declaration doesn't work!!!

    - webBrowser ALT+S Hi, I'm porting an application from VB 6 to C# compact framework 2.0 on an iPAQ. I'm using the webBrowser to load a login page from a target system and I see the page fine and can fill out the userID and password. The older application focused on the browser then used SendKeys to provide it an ALT+S. The password and userid was then sent to the host and login was accomplished. I can repeat this same behavior on the PC using Internet Explorer alone with no custom code at all. When I run on the iPAQ, I set focus, but there is no response from the webBrowser component to the ALT+S and nothing goes back to the host. (Please note that I've incorporated the SendKeys function from OpenNetCF, but the webBrowser is the one provided by the compact framework). I haven't seen any hotkeys defined for IE as ALT+S. I don't see anything defined in the HTML login page (unless I missed something). I'm not super HTML literate at this time. Can anyone tell me what to look into?

    - bluetooth application development Hi, the landscape for developing BT applications on .net cf / pocketpc seems a bit convoluted given all the different stack implementations, application libraries (that seem to have specific dependencies on stack implementations), and microsoft's poor API support / documentation for development of BT apps using .net cf. I am new to this, and what I want to do seems relatively simple, but I wonder if someone might be able to point me in the right direction. End Goal: There is a proprietary piece of hardware which will interface with a pocket pc device over bluetooth. I don't know what the bt stack, etc. is on that proprietary hardware -- someone else is developing this. I am developing the pocketpc side. On the pocket pc side, I have windows mobile 5.0, which appears to have the Broadcom/Widcomm stack. The messages that are exchanged are a proprietary network protocol. I built an application that ping/pongs these messages over Wi-Fi using UDP. Once I get the UDP packet, I strip out the payload, interpret the proprietary header/data, etc. I want to do the same over Bluetooth, but I'm not even sure where to start. I tried looking at Peter Foot's 32feet bluetooth API, but it is not compatible with my device. I need to develop a client/server approach with the pocketpc talking to my laptop and my laptop simulating the hardware device that will eventually act as the server. So, I need to develop both sides of this application. My laptop also has integrated Bluetooth with the Broadcom/Widcomm stack. Q: Do I need to buy some 3rd party libraries to accomplish this? http://franson.com/bluetools/index.asp?ref=google http://www.high-point.com/ Q: If the answer to that is no, can I just develop some way to set up the serial profile over the COM port? I see this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/ce/sharedsrccode/west/de... I downloaded that code/library -- documentation is nil. I am unsure exactly how to use it or if it will indeed work both on pocket pc and on windows xp. Thanks in advance! Regards, Davis Tag: OS Version Tag: 72706

I changed the name of my cab files, because one thread said that the 'Foo' part of the cab names 'Foo.ARM.CAB' has to be < 8 chars. The original article said there can't be any new lines between the [MyProject] section definition and the Description = key line, although this is confusing because all the samples I've seen look like there is a new line there.

My menus are all controlled in a base form, which creates them on load ( a little weird, I know, it is just part of the app) I create one main menu, and then add the menu items. I realize that with Mobile you have to have more than two top level items or else it won't look like the old menus(a workaround to that would be good too, but that is minor). My problem is that the menu will load once, then when I go to the next screen, it will show the blue bar with the keyboard icon where my menu was, as I move through the application it seems random whether I get this blue bar, the actual menu, or nothing at all...I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition should return 4.21 (original Pocket PC 2003
was 4.20)

However you can P/Invoke SystemParametersInfo with the constant
SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE to return a platform name e.g. PocketPC, Smartphone or
other for a custom CE device.
See this How-To:-
