    - WebException protocol error calling web service I am getting a WebException (protocol error) when trying to call a web service from the compact framework (1.0.4292). The web service is running on IIS 5.1 on my development machine (local) and the PocketPC is docked in the cradle. I know the web service is working because I can call it up in the browser on my machine and I can also call it up in the browser on the PocketPC. I'm curious if anyone knows what would be causing this behavior from the compact framework? Also, I've been able to work around the problem for now by adding <httpModules><clear /></httpModules> to my web.config. I have no idea why this "fixes" things (that would be nice to know also). I figured this out because I dropped the dll/asmx into an another virtual directory on my machine and the web service started working from the PocketPC. The only difference was that the web.config in the one virtual directory had the httpModules section and the other didn't. Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56906

    - Simple ComboBox Question I'm assuming I'm missing something here, but I seem to be having a problem in the selectedindexchanged routine when using different comboboxes. I have two comboboxes and when I change the value in one, I want the other one to be set to blank. I tried setting the text property to "" but that does nothing, so then I tried setting the selectedindex to -1 and that works, but the combobox that I'm actually changing never gets changed it stays blank too, but the second time I change the value in the combobox, it actually changes...what's going on here, am I doing something in the wrong order? CODE: Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged ComboBox2.SelectedIndex = -1 End Sub Private Sub ComboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox2.SelectedIndexChanged ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1 End Sub Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56890

    - Timer interfering with menu clicks? I've got an odd behavior where I have a 5-second timer on a form, which when triggered updatess about 12 label items with data from reading the registry. If I tap on a main menu then select a submenu item, fairly often (like every 3rd time or so as fast as I can tap) nothing happens. The menu item is highlighted and the menu then disappears, but no action is taken. When it does happen to work I hear the Click signifying the tap was "heard". When it doesn't work I hear no click, yet the menu disappears. Like you'd get if you tap to bring up the menu, then tap off-menu on purpose. If I disable the timer it works fine. If I keep the timer but don't do the registry reads it also works fine. I have other working apps with timers to update the screen, the clock time, etc, but not from so many registry reads (using opennetcf registry class). I'm wondering if/how a "longer" timer routine can somehow muck up the OS's ability to track menu taps on the main UI (foreground issues btw the main UI area and menu's area?), and what I might do to fix it. Note there are no other threads involved. -- Tim Johnson High Point Software, Inc. www.high-point.com (503) 312-8625 Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56881

    - Trivial serial communication problem? Hi, This may be a trivial question, but I could not find a straightforward answer. I am using the OpenNETCF.IO.Serial library for serial communication. All I need to do is listen for any incoming data. However, when I send data to the device's serial port a dialog box pops up that says "Desktop @19200 Status" and no data ever makes it to my application. What is this dialog box? Does it have something to do with AciveSync? I don't use ActiveSync to debug so I could remove it from the CE image if necessary. Thanks for your help. Here is a code snippet (mostly from the OpenNETCF example): public CScale() { portSettings = new HandshakeNone(); portSettings.BasicSettings.BaudRate = BaudRates.CBR_9600; portSettings.BasicSettings.Parity = Parity.none; portSettings.BasicSettings.StopBits = StopBits.one; port = new Port("COM1:",portSettings); port.RThreshold = 1; //event for every byte // define an event handler port.DataReceived +=new Port.CommEvent(port_DataReceived); } private void port_DataReceived() { // since RThreshold = 1, we get an event for every character byte[] inputData = new byte[1]; // read the character inputData = port.Input; // display as text System.Text.Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII; data = enc.GetString(inputData, 0, inputData.Length); } Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56872

    - clearcommerror native exception? Hi Guys: I have searched in the forums and groups and I haven't find out why this is happenning. Either I am missing some setting on my device or there is some other way to code it. Here is my senario: I am trying to write a serial bluetooth communication application on pocket pc platform. I have successfully opened ports and write to it. In my attempt to check for error flags using ClearCommError that I p/invoked from coredll.dll, pocket pc opens up a dialog form outside of my code that reads: "A native exception has occurred in dummyProgram.exe select quit and restart this program or select details for more info" Is there anyway I can get the error flags on the pocket pc? I am trying to do this because I want to implement the auto baud functionality. I pretty much has the auto baud algorithm but this dialog is driving me nuts. Any help is appreciated.

    - Custom Controls with DLLImports in VS 2005 I am trying to port some existing CF custom controls to VS 2005. I have read the article "Creating Custom Controls for MS .NET CF in VS 2005" which was helpful, but it does not deal with DLLImports. I have created the .xmta file to deal with the design attributes that are required and have installed the control into the toolbox, but still have errors when I drag-n-drop the control onto a form. It complains about the DLLImports and then crashes VS. I have searched this Newsgroup but no joy. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue? Is there an attribute that needs to be added to handle this or do you have to code around each and every reference to the DLLImport functions? Any help will be appreciated.

    - Tcp - reconnect I'm currently developing telnet client for Windows CE.NET ( it is used to run specialized console apps on server ) Problem is one of the requirements - user should be able to reconnect to previous session. Example : user connects to server, runs app, does some work, turns the terminal off leaving it idle for few minutes/hours/days, then turns it back on and he should be able to resume his work exactly where he stopped before. Problem is ... how to achieve that ? As soon as terminal goes into standby mode, network connections are broken, async operations start throwing exceptions and socket becomes unusable so i have to drop it and reconnect,thus losing the session. Some more info : - fully async communication - telnet server configured to not timeout any session - pausing/blocking send/recv before suspend mode does not help - disabling suspend mode/turn off buttonis not an option I know it is possible because telnet client named Wavelink does exactly that - you can run app, turn it off, let it collect dust for weeks , put batteries back again and everything still works as if you never turned the device off. It works even when server does not support reconnecting to session. Any ideas ? Any help is appreaciated Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56869

    - ArgumentException when adding to this.Controls I'm trying to add an object to this.Controls, using this.Controls.Add() on a Panel object. When I'm trying to do so, an ArgumentException is thrown. According to MSDN, an ArgumentException is thrown by ControlCollection.Add() if the child parameter does not specifiy a control. If I catch the exception, and read out the Type of the object I added (using GetType() ), I'm getting System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox (as expected). What am I missing here?

    - What classes does CF.NET support? Hi, Last night I was trying to append to a text file. After popping the buzzwords into google I was directed to the MSDN site and I happily coded away using an example as reference with File.Append. It turns out File.Append is part of the full .NET and not the CF.NET subset. How can I restrict my searches for classes within CF.NET? Is there no support in CF.NET for Perl's most excellant line-oriented reading/writing, or is this the preferred way to create/append to a file: private void saveDetails(string client) { Stream s; try { s = new FileStream(FILE_NAME, FileMode.Append); } catch (Exception e) { MessageBox.Show("cannot open file " + FILE_NAME + ": " + e.ToString()); return; } for (int i = 0; i < client.Length; i++) { byte b; b = (byte) client[i]; s.WriteByte(b); } s.Close(); lblSaveError.Text = "record saved"; } Thanks, Joe.

    - Closing DataReader - an expensive operation? I did some rather primitive instrumentation to see what was taking the longest in some SQL Server CE code. The culprit was this line: dtr.Close(); Any idea why it would take 7-8 seconds to close a DataReader? Lots of data has been read from the datareader; I thought this would be the expensive part. And any way to avoid the hit? I could neglect to close the datareader, but I'd guess that is a bad idea. Nathan Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56859

    - Exception when set combobox default value I have a combobox which binds to a dataset with id and description. The combobox populate all items and I can get the selectedValue. But I cannot set the selected value. I always got exception with no further error info. I read some posts on this forum talked about u have to set selectedindex twice to let it work. Is this the same case? And does the ComboboxEx from OpenNetCf.org solved this problem? Following is my code: static public void ComboBoxDataBinding(ComboBox p_combo, String p_default) { //Get the dataset from sql ce database DataSet dataSet = SQLData.GetDataSet(); DataTable dt = dataSet.Tables["table"]; p_combo.DataSource = dt; p_combo.DisplayMember = "id"; p_combo.ValueMember = "desc"; try { p_combo.SelectedValue = p_default; } catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show("set default value error: " + ex.Message.ToString()); } } the ex.Message.ToString() is "exception" Thanks a lot Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56848

    - Proxy Authentication Required I am having a problem with getting a reponse from an HttpWebRequest from the emulator. I keep getting an error: 'Proxy Authentication Required'. I have an ISA Proxy on the network. This problem only occurs with the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator and the Windoes CE.NET Emulator. It works ok on the Pocket PC 2002 emulator and on the actual devices. I can use the IE in the emulator to connect the web site if I configure IE to use the proxy server and give credentials. I tried setting the proxy in code and suppling credentials, but this doesn't work and causes problems. Why is special code to handle proxy not necessary for 2002 emulator or actual devices and how can I get the 2003 Emulator and CE.NET emulator to work?

    - Detecting the Microsoft .NET CF As MSDN says to detect .net cf I must enum values from "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfdepl.asp). What if there are more then one value? How can I detect which one will be used by application. Specifically: I have hp iPAQ with WM 2003 SE and preinstalled .nect cf on it (and seemes like it cannot be removed since it is not displayed in the Remove Programs applet). But I can install .NET CF to the device without any special messages from the .cab file and it will apear in Remove Programs applet. This adds new value to the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework" registry key. So how can I be sure which one of this installations will be used by application?

    - Howto assign a method to an event Hi, I have a Form with a panel which has multiple Text Box Components. I'm trying to find a way for the user to jump between the Text Boxes without using a mouse, or more simplisticly, jump to the next Text Box. Other posts (Google link below) suggest there isn't a built in way to capture tab-press events, so I have tried the following: private void txtNameFirstName_TextChanged(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyChar == 13) { txtNameLastName.Focus(); } } How do I get this method to be actioned on the event "_TextChanged". I guess a more generic question is how can I assign a method to an event?

    - multiple panels, Send to Back Hi, I am developing a simple CF.NET as a learning exercise. I want to have multiple pages for a user to input basic information, then to save to disk for later processing. Each page will have back and forward buttons, the final page will clear the fields on preceeding pages and put the user back to the first page for a new user. I've tried using multiple forms, since then I've found panels which I'm assuming is the more efficient or better design? How can I be sure that a component such as a Label or a Textbox is attached onto a Panel? I tried to attach a component to my 3rd panel, but when I run the application a component is on the wrong page. I have been right-clicking on the panel and then 'Send to Back' to view other Panels. Since adding a 3rd and 4th Panel, the 'next' button (one on each panel) has stopped navigating to the my next intended panel, instead on the 2nd panel it now jumps to the 4th. I also cannot view one of my earlier panels, and don't know how to Bring to Front as I cannot see it to right click on it. All these problems seem to have stemmed from Send to Back and Bring to Front. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA. Regards, Joe. Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56800

I store the database and the datafiles that this application generates on a flash disk card. My problem is that this application is now much slower than it was before. We have traced this problem to a very fragmented filesystem. When we defragment the flash disk with StorageTools from SoftWinter the application get's it's speed back. We could of course buy this program for all teriminals we have out in the field. (I think it's 400-500 spread all over Norway). But it's not a very realistic to think that the users of our program will be able to run it them self. So the best solution is to let our program do it.

    - Formless apps possible? I want to write an app that starts listening to a serial port when launched, but otherwise doesn't present any UI. When certain data is detected on the port I'll popup the first form. The Application.Run() with no args doesn't seem to be supported in CF v1.0. I thought of doing a normal form load in the .Run method, whose Load does an immediate Hide, but is there some more recommended way to design this sort of "formless" (at least at first) app? Probably later on I'll have a Today screen icon which when clicked brings up that first form, but it seems like it's the same issue - what do you "run" in App.Run? -- Tim Johnson High Point Software, Inc. www.high-point.com (503) 312-8625 Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56737

    - DataGrid ArgumentOutofRange Exception I have a DataGrid in my application that is bound to a custom collection of business objects. The collection inherits from CollectionBase so is bindable. My problem occurs when I remove an item from the collection. After the removal, any time I click on the grid, I get an un-catchable ArgumentOutofRange exception. I tried a few workarounds: 1. Before removing an item from the collection, I set the DataSource of the grid = Nothing. Then I removed the item, set the DataSource back to the collection, and called Refresh. This caused the grid to re-display with the removed item gone, but as soon as I clicked on the grid, I got the exception. 2. I added an IBindingList implementation to my collection and set SupportsChangeNotification to True. I raised the ListChanged event in the Add and RemoveAt methods of the collection. This caused the grid to update correctly without resetting the DataSource, but I still got the exception when clicking on the grid. By the way, I get the exception whether or not there are any event handlers attached to grid. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Sean Carpenter Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56717

    - Registry Strangeness I am using : RegSetValueEx(hKeySub, value, 0, KeyType.DWord, New Byte() {0}, 1) on registry value: System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattSuspendTimeout to set the "Turn off device if not used for" field to 0 for the battery to prevent the PDA going into standby. This function sucessfully changes the regsitry value to 0 (seen when I look in the eVC++ remote registry editor). When I go into the Settings on the PDA however (menu Start, Settings...), I see the setting to be 5 minutes rather than zero??? If I repeat the process, but set the value to 0 using the registry editor rather than my application everything works fine. Any ideas? Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56716

    - OpenNETCF.Diagnostics in 1.4 I have tried the steps listed in the OpenNETCF forums, but I can't seem to get the eventlog items setup right. From the forums it appears that I will have to multithread the app, no problem, but there aren't any good examples that I have seen for creating an XML (or even text) based eventlog. I'm probably just missing something... If anyone can point me at resources that can help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it. Z Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56715

    - DirectX vs GAPI I am beginning work on a .NET compact framework application that will target Windows Mobile 5.0 and above. The application is 2D graphics intensive and GDI is not really fast enough. We were thinking about using GAPI or DirectX, but that led to other questions. 1) Is GAPI dead now that DirectX is going to be released with Windows Mobile? What I am more worried about is that GAPI will not be hardware accelerated in future products, because all they will worry about is DirectX? 2) Printing - I know the compact platform does not really support printing, but for this project we are required to talk to printers via wirelessly. Yao talks about this in his book, but is there anyway of drawing to a printer dc using GAPI and DirectX? Any thoughts on the above questions would be appreciated. -- Thanks, Juan Tag: PWI conversion Tag: 56714

I am creating an application that will work on a tablet PC as well as a
Pocket PC and the application contains a Notes feature. Currently, the
Notes are ready to go on the PPC with PWI files as the output. I need to
find a way to have the Notes (not necessarily in PWI format) interchangable
between the tablet and PPC.

Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions on where to look?

Thanks
