    - Fatal Aplication Error on Convert.ToSingle() ? Hi cant explain it but this code on my CE5 device does not work : strange : when running on the wm5 ppc emulator then the fatal error does not occur, it seems to be fatal on my CE5 device only. NumberFormatInfo provider = new NumberFormatInfo(); provider.NumberDecimalSeparator = "."; float temp=0.0f; temp = (float)Convert.ToDouble("21.0", provider); //works temp = Convert.ToSingle("21.0", provider); // yields a Fatal Application Error Any hints ?

    - 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...

I need to change the volume very often to give audio feedback. I am using playSound and waveOutSetVolume via PInvoke calls from coredll.dll The problem is, if I change the volume for lets say 10% every change produces an annoying clicking sound.

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - Broadcom bluetooth manager and virtual serial port Hi I am kinda new to compact framework programming (I am experienced asp.net developer), so please forgive me if my questions are trivial. I've an application that connects to bluetooth device using virtual com ports - before I connect this app to bt device I need to discover the device and assign virtual com port, then configure the application to use that port. Application utilizes standard cf2 System.IO.SerialPort class. Everything worked well on my WM 5.0 device. Now I need to run this application on WM 6 device with Broadcom bluetooth manager (IPAQ). My WM 5.0 device didn't have any 3rd party bluetooth manager, just standard Windows and I wonder if there will be any problem with running this application because of the Broadcom bluetooth manager. Will I be still able to discover the bt device and assign it a virtual com port and then use it in my application? I am not sure why HP decided to use 3rd party bluetooth software. Is it only because they wanted to make easier using bt cell phones as modems? What's the point in using such software? Thanks for help in advance.

Steps 0) OS : Vista x64 1) Install VS.NET 2008 (with Smart Device Development support) 2) Install Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK (if it is not installed, Korean image for WM 5.0 won't install) 3) Uninstall Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK 4) Now, all the smart device project templates are gone. There's no item in the "Target platform" list. Unsuccessful solutions (I mean, none of these worked) 1) Repair VS.NET 2008 2) Go to Add/Remove features of VS.NET 2008, remove Smart Device support, reboot (still all the compact framework packages are shown in the Control Panel > Add or Remove applications) , go to Add/Remove again, add Smart Device support 3) Manually delete all the comact framework related packages, then reinstall them by add Smart Device support at the Add/Remmove of VS.NET 2008 4)Uninstall VS.NET 2008 then reinstall VS.NET 2008 Is there anyway to restore the Smart Device project templates?

    - Why doesn't it throw an exception to connect to an unexisting IP? This has been really troubling me, at least for few days. I tried to solve it myself but I finally gave up and am asking for some advice. What I'm trying to do is rather simple. To communicate between PDA and PC via good old TCP socket. Since I dont' have a PocketPC, I used the emulator that came with VS.NET First, I tried like Dim client As TcpClient = Nothing Try client = New TcpClient() client.Connect("my ip address", 7778) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) End Try MessageBox.Show(client.Client.Connected) The problem was, even though I'd typed a wrong ip, the message box always showed "True". The connection error only occurred when the internet connection itself was unavailable. Second, Dim mySoc As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp) mySoc.BeginConnect(New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("my ip address"), 7778), AddressOf OnConnect, mySoc) End Sub Sub OnConnect(ByVal result As IAsyncResult) Dim mySoc As Socket = CType(result.AsyncState, Socket) mySoc.EndConnect(result) System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(mySoc.Connected) System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(mySoc.RemoteEndPoint.ToString()) End Sub This was the same, it always printed "True" even thouth the IP address was wrong. I've tested this on VS.NET 2008 (WM 5.0 Emulator + Mobile Device Center) and VS.NET 2005 (PPC 2003 emulator + ActiveSync), but the results were the same. All I want is simple text-based message exchanging. But I'm stuck at the very basic stage like checking if the message was sent and received. Is there any sample code that I can refer to? Please give me some advice. Thank you a lot. PS ------- The server side code was like Dim myIP As IPAddress = Nothing For Each i As IPAddress In Dns.GetHostAddresses(Dns.GetHostName()) If i.AddressFamily = AddressFamily.InterNetwork Then myIP = i Exit For End If Next If myIP Is Nothing Then MessageBox.Show("Can't get the IP4 address of this computer.") End If MyListener = New TcpListener(myIP, 7778) MyListener.Start() MyListener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(AddressOf OnClient, MyListener) Tag: How to get current mobile operator and signal strength with .net c Tag: 88093

    - WebService access issue on GPRS/3G Hi everyone, I'm trying to build an application that retrieves data from a web service using its data connection (GPRS/3G). I'm testing this application on an HTC P3650 running windows mobile 6, with .NET CF SP2. As long as the device is connected through activesync, or with a WiFi connection, it works fine. However, when the device is connecting through its data connection, it throws a WebException. On the other hand, I can access the webservice through GPRS without a problem using IE. I know the operator restricts data access to avoid traffic other than http. The APN and proxy settings (which are used for this connection but not through wifi) are configured correctly, but I don't know if I should do anything else.

    - Dotfuscator disassociates derived class when base class is linked Hi all, I know this is a fairly old post, but I just came across it and wanted to clarify things a bit. The "renamed referenced metadata defined only in input map file" is used by our Incremental Obfuscation feature. This allows you to obfuscate a class using a library that was previously obfuscated but which you no longer have access to reobfuscate (say when working on an update to a deployed application). This setting tells Dotfuscator to apply the renames from the map file to references found in the input assembly, without needing the original assembly in which the type is defined.

    - UserControl - size problem in designer Hi, I have problem with using my user controls in designer - desingner ignores my default size of my control and allways creates new controls with size 200 x 200 points. Since desinger does not show content of usercontrols in CF, this makes UserControls quite unusable for me... 1) I create new UserControl class called MyUserControl and sets it's size property e.g. 100 x 50 points. (I checked generated method InitializeCompoment and it seems fine, size is set to 100 x 50) 2) I use this control in new Form. When i drag this MyUserControl on the form, this control is created on this form, but it's size is 200 x 200 instead of 100 x 50. When i do the same in full Framework, it works fine...

    - System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage seems to be not exact... Hey everybody, I've a little nice problem here. I want to scale a bitmap, everything seems to be OK, but... I sliced that Bitmap in nine (9) parts - 4 corners (unscaled) - top and bottom middlepart (only horizontal scaled) - left and right middlepart (only vertical scaled) - middlepart (horizontal and vertical scaled) The 4 corners has a width and height of 5 px, top and bottom middlepart has a width of scaled bitmap - 10px and a height of 5px, left and right middlepart has a width of 5px and a height of the scaled bitmap - 10px. The middlepart has a width and a height of the scaled bitmap - 10px. So, if I want to scale the new bitmap I think smaller than the original on, everythink seems to be OK, but when want to scale it larger, I got some problems with the top, bottom, left and right middlepart. It looks like that the starting postions of the bitmap parts had relocated by its own or evrythink else. Does anybody of your had the some problems or the is problem between my ears? Thanks a lot...

    - Uninstalling Program Using DeviceProcessConfigXml Hi All, I have developed a kind of device loader, which starts automatically when the device cradled. Using the software i want to uninstall a certain software. When i call m_rapi.DeviceProcessConfigXml(provisionFile, out output); with the following xml, it doesn't uninstall. However for some programs (i.e. compact framework or compact sql) it works pretty fine. <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="UnInstall">" <characteristic type="Program Name"> <parm name="uninstall" value="1"/> </characteristic> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> Is it that the problem is with the way of preparing the cab file? Is there anything that i should be doing with the setting of cab project? And one more question, how do i simulate exactly the remove facility of remove programs in control panel?

    - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host... Hi My CF application have to be connected to a TCP server on a PC. Here is the way I do on client : [code] private void Connect(string ip, int portNumber) clientSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); clientSocket.Connect(new IPEndPoint(ip, portNumber)); receivedThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ReceiveThread)); private void ReceiveThread() { byte[] buffer = new byte[512]; int iBytesCount = 0; while (!stopThread) { try { iBytesCount = this.clientSocket.Receive(buffer, 0, this.receiveBufferSize, SocketFlags.None); ; if (iBytesCount == 0) break; } catch (Exception ex) { if (!stopThread) { throw new CommunicationException("An exception occured in received thread.", ex); } break; } ... } [/code] The first time the PPC connect to the server all is well working :) But If I shut down the Pocket PC using the power button on the device, and exception occured in the ReceivedThread method. The exception is "A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall". In this case, a Dispose the Socket and try to reconnect using the Connect method. The Socket.Connect succed but each time this line is executed : [code] iBytesCount = this.clientSocket.Receive(buffer, 0, this.receiveBufferSize, SocketFlags.None); ; [/code] I got the following exception "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". Why ??? I'm unable to reconnect the Pocket PC to the server ! Two days trying to figuring the problem but I now I don't know what to do :( Please help me.

    - CeSetUserNotificationEx question I think I have pinvoke of CeSetUserNotificationEx working. I'm not understanding how to intercept this though once its setup. I'm trying to setup the notification to happen 3 minutes after Now and I believe I'm creating the event correctly. What I'm not understanding is how can I get my application to intercept this notification then do some actions when it happens. The problem I'm trying to get around is doing some periodic operation when the device is in suspend mode. I just need to wake up for a second check the current power state, do some operations then return the power state. If call the below function 3 minutes into the future, how can i intercept what is created? Thanks for any help this type of thing is a little out of my area of normal programming so I'm struggling a little bit. private unsafe IntPtr AddJob( SystemTime st, string AppName, string Args) { CE_NOTIFICATION_TRIGGER nt = new CE_NOTIFICATION_TRIGGER(); CE_USER_NOTIFICATION un = new CE_USER_NOTIFICATION(); IntPtr h; string dialogTextTest = "This is a test"; char* dialogText = dialogTextTest.ToCharArray(); fixed (char* pAppName = AppName.ToCharArray()) { fixed (char* pArgs = Args.ToCharArray()) { nt.Size = (UInt32)Marshal.SizeOf(nt); nt.Type = 2; nt.pAppName = pAppName; nt.pArgs = pArgs; nt.StartTime = st; un.DialogText = dialogText; h = CeSetUserNotificationEx(IntPtr.Zero, nt, un); } } return h; } Tag: How to get current mobile operator and signal strength with .net c Tag: 88026

    - Edge & 3GP, Web Service Problem Hello Friends, From last few days our users are facing one problem. We have implemented web service to communicate to server. Now the problem is, generally 3GP connection is there on devices, but sometimes when signal is weak, Edge is connected. In case of Edge, they are not able reach the server via web service. So my question is, is it possible? if yes then what kind of optimization can be done in web service call so that in weak signal also it will work? Please help me.

    - OpenNETCF.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping I've been using this to ping an IP wirelessly to see if the TCP printer is "online" wirelessly. Works great. I know that in ActiveSync debug, the wireless is disabled but I can run other syncing to a server over the lan via the ActiveSync just fine but the ping always returns either a 1 or a 1000 which aren't even IPStatus enumerations..... Any idea as to what's happening here? I'm not a network guru by any means..... Is this pinging only applicable to wireless? Why is the syncing to another server via a web service working fine yet I cannot ping the IP for that server using the OpenNETCF.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping during an ActiveSync debug session.....??? Any ideas? TIA Tag: How to get current mobile operator and signal strength with .net c Tag: 88011

    - Round to nearest Multiple? NumericUpDown Question. Sorry, a bit new at this CF. I'm looking for a function that will allow me round the min from a now() function to the nearest 15. So for example if it's 9:31 I would like it to return 30 i've got TimeID set as a string: TimeId = FormatDateTime(Now(), DateFormat.ShortTime) which is working fine. and using mid or right am able to get the min separated, but the rounding functions seem to just round to whole numbers. I'd be fine with a floor or ceiling command too, so that 9:31 would return either 30 or 45. I'm using a numericupdown to get the user of the form to input time in increments of 15min. And I guess since I'm on the topic is there anyway to make a NumericUpDown control flip? Using my original example. if I'm at 45 and press up I'd like it to revert back to 00. thanks in advance Tag: How to get current mobile operator and signal strength with .net c Tag: 87998

    - Synchronisation of data Hi group I have an application that take file from devices put them on the Host PC throw active Sync, and send them to a server. this application use a third party software to synchronise data from the Host PC to the server. The system run good from 4 years, and now we have a bug. I discover that the third part society is closed, and the product never maintain anymore. I have to change it. Do you know about a good sync for folders ? I saw plenty of it, but i have no time to compare myself, and suppose somebody have allready done this. in an perfect world, it would be open source, so i can maintain myself and have no problem with closed third part. More, is there any tools that allows to take remote control of a device from a PC, throw the web (intra extra or internet) throw a Host PC, and then throw Active Sync ? (may be i have a new concept !!)

    - Serving SOAP requests Hello, We are developing a mobile application running under .NET CF 2.0 or 3.5. The application has to expose several service interfaces through SOAP (over HTTP). Unfortunately, serving SOAP requests is not supported by the .NET CF framework. That's why we have a strong interest in third-party libraries providing this functionality. Would someone mind to share his experience in this field? Is there a recommendable library? Any help is greatly appreciated. -peter Tag: How to get current mobile operator and signal strength with .net c Tag: 87985

    - Calling a managed (C#) DLL from unmanaged (C++) code in Windows CE Hi folks, I know that what I want to achieve works in the "big" framework but I also read (on the blog of the developer group of the compact framework itself !) that it should work on Windows CE devices, too. The only problem: up to now I found no explanation or example, *how* it can be achieved to call a managed DLL (CF 2.0) from an unmanaged EXE (eVC 4) on a Windows CE device (Mobile 2003 or Windows CE 5.0). I've already gone most of the way by following some examples for the "big" framework - the only (?) problem left is the registration of the managed DLL on the device so that the EXE cannot find the DLL and its exported methods. Any idea how to register the DLL on the device or how else the DLL could be loaded? Any help or links to tutorials, posts or examples are welcome! TIA, Roland Tag: How to get current mobile operator and signal strength with .net c Tag: 87983

If the device is Windows Mobile 5.0 or later this is possible through the
State and Notifications Broker. For Managed code see the
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState class and for native code see
snapi.h
