    - Data Grid Column Width VS2005, VB.Net, I'm programming a WASP WDT3250 w/Windows CE 5.0 Thus...Visual Basic>Smart Device>Windows CE 5.0 project. I've been looking for examples on how to set the column width in a datagrid. I'm populating the datagrid with a collection and assigning that collection to the datasource. The data shows up and all looks well, but the columns are all the same width and left aligned. I'm down to the aesthetics. I've given this a try too, but no luck. Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle ts.MappingName = "Unchecked" Dim s As DataGridColumnStyle = New DataGridTextBoxColumn s.MappingName = "Route" s.HeaderText = "Rte" s.Width = 30 ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(s) Me.dgUnchecked.TableStyles.Add(ts) How do I set the column widths either programmically or in design mode and how can I modify alignment?

    - get rid of focus Env.: WM6 / VS2008 / CF 3.5 Hi All, I have this winform used to view info (not edit it). It contains a set of labels and textboxes set in readonly mode. The problem is that the focus is set automatically to first text box and the caret is displayed. This is confusing to users because you think you can type something in there. How can I get rid of this caret? My dirty workaround is as such: ((Control)MyLabel).Focus(); -> Sets the focus to a label. It's dirty because Label hides Focus() (hence the typecast). Which means I'm not supposed to use it. (BTW the compiler emits a warning to remind me so). Does anyone know of a more elegant/'legal' solution? Note: Turning the textboxes into labels is not a good option here because the form is sometimes used in 'view' mode and sometimes in 'edit' mode. And I want to keep a single layout for both modes. TIA, Serge. Tag: Add control to another thread Tag: 88297

    - Compiling for an older version Hi, We have a project, originally written in C# in VS2003 for PPC using .Net Framework 1.1 and SDF 1.4 for devices running WM 2003se. We've since upgraded the project to VS2005, .Net 2.05 and SDF 2.2 to accomodate new devices running WM5/6. Is there any way of using our new development environment to compile a version for the older 2003se devices, or must we run two separate environments / projects? Any input gratefully received!

I have an older PocketPC 2003 (HP iPAQ), and the Device ID is quite short, it looks like this (i changed some of the characters) 0f25213c-1d0f-4109-0900-0050bf2000f Now I am running the code on a newer device (HP iPAQ 214), and the Device ID is a lot longer, it looks like this (i changed some of the characters) 50006f00-6300-6b00-6500-74005000470000004960485042523232306f323433333800 So, I'm wondering, what would be the maximum size in characters the Device ID can be?

    - Ping, HTTP Request, and ActiveSync OpenNET CF Ping function works great to detect whether I can get a label to a network printer to print or not. Used to use the HttpRequest trick but the Ping kinda does two chores at one time - network connectivity and individual network device availability. What I need is someway to figure out whether I'm connected via ActiveSync since this will block the Ping packets and lead me to believe I can't print when in fact I can print. So I need a way to check to make sure i don't have an acive ActiveSync connection before I try to Ping. Anyone know of a good way? I've searched the group archives but hoped there was a way lately.

    - Are IntPtr also potentially unsafe in case of exceptions in .NetCF or Hi, i recently red a blog entry (http://blogs.msdn.com/bclteam/archive/ 2005/03/16/396900.aspx) which stated that the use of IntPtr's holding a reference to unmanaged resources could be dangerous in case of object finalization and exceptions. As I understood it the handle finalizer thread (it seems that there is one and I can not change this) could run the objects finalizer, maybe clean up the unmanaged resources (I do this in finanizers) and make the IntPtr invalid. All this could happen while one is actually in a unmanaged method and could lead to problems. Since I use a lot of P/Invoke calls and do stuff on the unamanged side I looked for solutions. A solution is the use of SafeHandles - unfortunately this class/interface is not available in .Net CF. So can't this problem occur in the compact framework or do I have to use another solution (of which I do not know)? It seems that this issue is critical if one uses P/Invokes in objects that are not kept outside the local scope and in case of exceptions. What do you think about this?

    - Wcf on PDA Problems Good morning/afternoon, I am using WCF with the generated files from NETCFSVCUTILL to communicate with the PC. Now i have found a few problems which i cant seem to solve and are hoping that you guys could help. 1) To test the speed of the connection i made a while loop and got it to send a to the PC from the PDA. But what i found is that it was only sending 4 messages a sec.. which to me seem slow. I might be wrong. 2) when ever a message is sent to the PC the .net compact frame work throws an System.UriFormatException . There is no Uri's in my code. This is the message i get: System.UriFormatException occurred Message="Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed."

Even enter the IP address of the computer this error gets thrown, but the message to get passed from the PDA to the Computer. I think the channel cinnection is been reset each time the Exception is thrown 3) the computers i am on are using proxy. Now to allow the pda and computers to talk to each other i have to physical turn off the proxy in IE. IF i dont, i geta proxy (407) Access denied, even tho im telling it to bypass for local addresses. well i hope some one can help with these problems.

    - Storage card issue Hi, All I have develop software for Texlogix Psion (Mobile 6.0) in CF 2.0. During testing i found out that device sometimes can't detect existance of storage card, it happens when i am trying to upload files to PC. After one or two successful uploads, looks like storage card (removable) SM-MMC Card renamed to SM-MMC Card2 and all files arrive to newly created directory "SM-MMC Card"... Any help on that. Is it known issue? We had this problem a few years ago with Casio, but it was fixed by installing patch file on each unit from casio. Looks like another new unit with latest OS having the same problem. Is it normal issue or only applies to specific device like Texlogix Psion? I contacted Psion tech support on this matter, so far no answer, but they suggested to check if storage card has the destination folder before each upload process.

    - Crash in Remote Performance Monitor when trying to use GC Heap function (.NET CF 3.5) I have a generic WinCE 5.0 system (desktop, shell, etc). When I try to use the Remote Performance Monitor tool that comes with the NETCFv35PowerToys.msi, it crashes when I hit the 'GC Heap' button. To reproduce, I can generate an "out of the box" wizard generated C# app targeting .NET CF 3.5 using VS2008. I change the generated Program.cs file to be: using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO.Ports; using System.Threading; namespace TestRPMTools // your namespace here... { class Program { static SerialPort m_SerialPort; /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [MTAThread] static void Main() { m_SerialPort = new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("COM4", 115200, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One); m_SerialPort.Open(); Application.Run(new Form1()); m_SerialPort.Close(); } } } Now, just run this program on the target (using the RPM tool), and start hitting the GC Heap button. Sometimes it works a few times (close GC Heap window without saving if this works), but after a few times it fails, throwing up a message box with this text: exception code: 0xC0000005 exception address: 0x01d3a39c Reading: 0x00000300 Faulting Module: mscoree3_5.dll Offset: 0x0008a39c Does anyone have a suggestions at all as to how to attack this issue? Is this likely to be a bug in mscoree3_5.dll? Is there something that I need to be sure is in my WinCE nk.bin image? (Right now, .NET CF 3.5 is deployed by VS2008 - it is not built into the nk.bin image. I have pretty up-to-date QFEs in the nk.bin.) Full Disclosure: Also, the above code with the serial port is something that I reduced my program to in order to report this issue. But removing the same code from my larger program where the issue was first discovered doesn't fix the issue, so the above code may be a red herring. The crash may be caused by some unrelated issue.

    - Packaging _setup.xml (for SSL Cert) into WinCE 5.0 CAB using CabWiz? I am attempting to install a SSL Certificate on a WinCE 5.0 mobile device. I have already created the appropriate "_setup.xml" file that contains the SSL Certificate installation information (as shown in several posts/blogs/WinCE32 SDK). Now I am attempting to package _setup.xml (or just it's contents) into a valid WinCE 5.0 CAB file. Using the makecab utility provided in the WinCE32 SDK, as in: "makecab _setup.xml rootcert.cab" does not create a "Valid Windows CE Setup File", as reported by the WinCE device when I attempt to manually install the CAB. Therefore it seems like I must somehow utilize the "cabwiz.exe" program, that also comes with the SDK, to try and package my _setup.xml, but how? I have no "Application" to install so what would I specify in the ".inf" file??? Questions: 1) When running cabwiz.exe (WinCE 5.0 SDK), how do I package my "_setup.xml" using a ".inf" file when there is no application to install? And/Or... 2) How do I determine if "_setup.xml" must be considered as extra information for "_setup.xml", which apparently the file that cabwiz.exe itself creates inside of the new cab file!?? The command-line for cabwiz.exe offers the /prexml or /postxml options when creating a cab file - do I need to use them or do I somehow indicate, within the ".inf" file, that my "_setup.xml" file is input for the cab build? I guess I'm just not sure on how to create the ".inf" file for cabwiz without really having an application to install and then go about the task of indicating to the cab setup, "Oh, by the way, would you mind running this snippet of xml contained in my '_setup.xml' file so the appropriate SSL Cert Info is imported/registered properly?" I really hope I'm not confusing everyone but I could certainly use some clarification on how I can package the SSL Certificate '_setup.xml' (mentioned in several blogs/posts that I've seen for PocketPC and Windows Mobile 5/6) into a valid WinCE 5.0 Cab file that I require for my Symbol/Motorola MC3000 Series WinCE 5.0 mobile device...

    - Sending commands to serial port connected device Hello, When I create a connection to an external device (barcode scanner) via serial port, using the Terminal Services Client on the mobile device, I can send commands to control to the external device and receive information about it, such as the firmware version. I have a vb.net application that sucessfully recieves data (via serial port) from the barcode scanner, but with the serial port open, if I send the same commands that I used using the Terminal Services Client, I get no acknowledgment from the scanner. I'm guessing I'm missing something. Is there a way to send the commands I use in the TSC and recieve data in my app? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    - Hiding messageboxes Hi, Is there a way to display a form/panel/image ontop of other popup messages even though if they were displayed after my object? I need to detect a click on the screen in order to move out of standby mode. All works fine except when I have messagebox displayed on screen. My app dpesn't get a notification about clicks on it, so I find myself with a dark screen, and the user trying to feel his way around shouting "lights please" ;-) Thanks, Empi Tag: Add control to another thread Tag: 88149

    - How to get rid of popup warning for new EXE? Hi All I am developing on an HC700 Motorola HHT. The OS has been upgraded from PC2003 to WM5. And I am using C# with CF2. Every time the debugger starts up the EXE on the device a warning pops up asking am I sure I want to do this. This seems to happen for all ne assemblies as well and any applications that are shelled from with in my application that I have added to the device. In short any new application that is run on the device for the first time gets this popup. How can I stop this? At least for development. Thanks. ink Tag: Add control to another thread Tag: 88148

    - Minimum font size for webbrowser control I have a program, running under .net compact framework v2, on Windows Mobile 5. The main window uses a WebBrowser control to display everything. I would some of the text to have a very small font size. I've put in the appropriate CSS directives, e.g. font-size: 6pt. But there seems to be some minimum font size in the WebBrowser control -- when I specify a large font-size then the text shows large, but when I specify a very small font-size then the text won't go as small as I want it. Is there some property of the WebBrowser control which will let it display text smaller? Or is it an issue of font availability? Damon. Tag: Add control to another thread Tag: 88144

    - Setup program Hi, For some reason, my PDA setup software is installing a "pc version" as well as installing the PDA correctly. Is there a way to prevent it from doing that? This way I must uninstall it each time I re test the application. Thanks, Empi Tag: Add control to another thread Tag: 88140

    - Problem with random access files (bug?) There seems to be a problem in the .Net CF 2.0 (and 1.0) regarding random access files. After several usages of FileStream.Seek and FileStream.Read, wrong values are returned. The code from this post demonstrates this problem: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework/browse_thread/thread/cf5970f09c81d50d/727be7bd89798b3b?lnk=gst&q=filestream+bug#727be7bd89798b3b //create the test file using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(@"test.dat", FileMode.Create)) { for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) { stream.WriteByte((byte)(i % 256)); } } // demonstrate issue using ( FileStream stream = new FileStream( @"test.dat", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, 128 ) ) { byte[] buffer = new byte[500]; stream.Read(buffer, 0, 252); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 102); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 5); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 63); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 39); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 34); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 73); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 73); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 73); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 73); long pos = stream.Position; stream.Read(buffer, 0, 73); MessageBox.Show("Position: " + pos.ToString() + ", value: " + buffer[0].ToString() ,"Should show 19"); stream.Seek(pos, SeekOrigin.Begin); stream.Read(buffer, 0, 73); MessageBox.Show("Position: " + pos.ToString() + ", value: " + buffer[0].ToString() ,"Should show 19, shows 1 instead"); } Same code works fine on the desktop. Is this a known bug or limitation? Tag: Add control to another thread Tag: 88138

Hi.

I just developed a class that suppose to replace the MessageBox.Show.

It create a panel with some additional elements (image/buttons/labels etc).
I'm looking for the best way to add the panel to the calling form.

I also have to handle different thread calls (thread I is calling me, and I
suppose to add the panel to the Gui thread).

What is the best and nicest way of doing this?

Thakns,

Empi

Thread 1 "signal" the gui thread by setting a global parameter.

Thanks.

Control.Invoke would also work.
