    - looking for a CF C# socket client sample I'm looking for a simple CF C# tcp/ip client that I can use as a start point (I'm new to C# and .NET). I found a couple async socket samples, but none of them worked with the CF. One used Send() (which is not allowed in CF with non-blocking sockets ). Other used classes not present in CF. Any help will be appreciated. Omar Tag: about Focus Tag: 53950

    - Invoke I am trying to add a mouseup/down event to a listview. Using ApplicationEx I can capture the mouse event, and determine the X and Y values of the mouse location. All good so far... I now want to Invoke the mouse event for the listview. It is defined as: public void ListView_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) {} I can do the invoke by: Parent.Invoke ( new MouseEventHandler ( Parent.ListView_MouseUp ) ); where Parent is set when instantiating the class. However this is not sufficient for my needs. I want to be able to add a System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs when I do the invoke. I can store the mouse co-ordinates in some global variable and get it from the parent form, but I was hoping that I could do it a cleaner way using the ListView_MouseDown procedure above. Should I marshal the MouseEventArgs? Guidance is gratefully accepted. Tag: about Focus Tag: 53948

    - typeload exception instead of own exception occurs Hello all, we develop an appplication with CF 1.0 SP3 in C#. On program start I load a lot of data from files. I built an own exception that throws when a file is missing or the wrong file is loaded to inform the user. But when I throw the user defined exception, the type of exception is changed: now it's a TypeloadException. For all exceptions i have a "catch" around my Appplication.Run method in Main () one for my own exceptions and one for the system exceptions. I thought no line of code can be executed 'til the first "catch" is found in the stack of the application!?!? How can the exception type change or alternatively can be thrown another exception of tzhe framework? Any help would be appreciated Roland Tag: about Focus Tag: 53923

    - RSA AsymmetricAlgorithm lost feature FromXmlString and ToXmlString (RSA AsymmetricAlgorithm) has gone from Beta 2 compact framework. It was on working fine on beta 1. My company is having SOA implementation that use classic shacking hands (Sending the public key, encrypt the symetric key, and decrypt it back at the client side), know that this feature is lost we cannot do it with beta 2. Fearther more we having encrypt configuration that should be readable from the client and from the server (because maintainence issue), we used to export the server configuration key to the client secure storage, but this scenario is no aplicative with out the option of importing and exporting keys. So has you see itâ??s a greet lost for us, can you do something about it? We realy donâ??t want to move back to .NETCF itâ??s seem wrong to handle the API directly. What is your suggestion?

    - Location of file created in Emulator? I'm confused about how the emulator works. I have a simple program that works fine on my device (Smartphone). One of the things the program does is create a text file with no path information, as in using ( System.IO.StreamWriter sw = newSystem.IO.StreamWriter(@"Q123.txt") ) When I run the app in the emulator, no error is generated, but I cannot find the Q123.txt file. I've even searched my entire desktop machine for the file and it is not found. Can you someone straighten me out on how the emulator handles files created as in the code above?

    - activate app with multiple forms? Hi, A few days ago I asked about a problem with activating a till running CF .NET application after using other applications and 'minimizing' my own application.I thought my application was locked and the suggestion I got here was to look after a SQLCE connection conflict. After further investigation I discovered that the application was not locked or something like that, but the wrong form was in front (the application has several forms). When I start the application I get form1, then load and show form2, form3 and form4. After that I activate the calendar/agenda and look for some information in the agenda I start my program again (not realy, it is activated while I select the entry in the startmenu) but the form which is displayed then (mostely form1, but sometimes 2 or 3) is not the form which was the active form (form4) when I left the application and went to the agenda. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know how to solve this? (I tried .NET CF SP2 and SP3, bith the same result) TdJ Tag: about Focus Tag: 53889

I seem to be able to edit some columns and the changes go to the database but not others. I do not get any errors it just does not update the database. The other problem is that I can not figure out how to unbind the datagrid and bind it to another datatable.

    - Benchmark results comparing TCP Socket Read performance Hi, There was a thread on this newsgroup about 10 days ago, that argued the merits of a couple of different techniques for receiving TCP data from a Socket. I stated that my preference was to create a worker thread that polled the GetStream.DataAvailable property, then called the Read method to retrieve data. I have found this to perform better than using an Async Delegate using the GetStream.BeginRead method. Others disagreed. So, when I had time, I created a couple of benchmarks to compare, both for Pocket PC and Smartphone devices. The long and short of the results of these tests were that I was wrong. I don't suppose that I was crazy, but I am convinced that I should have taken a vacation. On the Pocket PC, the BeginRead with callback method slightly outperformed polling in throughput (from 7 to 8% better). There was no measurable difference between the two methods when multitasked with another program to place the device under load -- both degraded the same amount, as did the performance of the other program. On the Smartphone, there was no significant difference between methods. That is, the throughput difference was less than 1%, interestingly with the advantage going to the polling mode. For anyone interested in more information please send me email. I have a Word document that describes both the code and the results. Anyone who wants the actual .NET solutions also can send me email.

I have a control ,when the control gets foucs.
I do not want to lost focus unless this control release focus by self.

How to do it?

thanks

Re: about Focus by Mark

Capture the lostFocus event of the control and use a bool flag to see if the control should lose focus or not. For example:

private void Control_LostFocus(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if(!loseFocus)
((Control)sender).Focus();
}

You will have to manage the bool (loseFocus) throughout your code.
