    - question re: Inputbox function hi there, im using the inputbox function for the user to enter a starting number, but the WM5 keyboard covers the OK and Cancel buttons and the "Enter" button doesnt work either so i have to hide the SIP and press the OK button manually. Is there any workaround this to make it more userfriendly without having to create a custom form to do this? thanks, Paul Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77227

    - Selecting a particular .NET framework version Hi, I just started developing applications on the .Net Compact Framework. I've got .NET 1.1 and 2.0 installed on my machine along with VS 2005. However, each time I deploy, it deploys it as a .NET 2.0 application. How can I programmatically check and change the version of the framework to use on the device. Basically I want to use v1.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77221

    - determine if pocket pc 2003 device has been disconnected from the network I currently have an app running on a pocket pc 2003 that connects to a webservice to update information. The device is using gprs for interconnectivity. In one particular module, data is sent to the server and waits on a feedback from the server. However, sometimes the gprs service is dropped and then the device hangs waiting on a response. The update is done in a try catch block but the device apparently gets no error indicating that the signal has been lost. How can I prevent the device from freezing when the signal is dropped? Is there a timeout setting I can set within my code that I can check to see if a response has failed to come in within that time? If so, how do I do this? I am using vb.net 2003.

    - C# IntPtr with moved memory location, how to apply 'fixed'? Hi, i have an unmanaged C dll and i call a function from C# which returns a pointer on a struct inside the C dll: // C# code: //member variable IntPtr intPtr; someMethod() { intPtr = getStruct(); // calls C dll } when i later use the intPtr (passing it to C dll) it seems to point to another memory location. I have tried something like fixed (void *p = intPtr.ToPointer()) { ... } but this does not compile: "You cannot use the fixed statement to take the address of an already fixed expression" How can i fix my memory location?

    - RDA Pull SQL Server versions I've posted something very similar to this in the SQLServer CE area but but just am not getting any response over there so I figured I'd tap the brain trust over here! Recently ported my VB.NET PPC app to VS2005. Also replaced my database (SQL Server 2000) with the SQL Server 2005. I knew I'd probably have to install a new server agent for the SQLserver2005 database to still be able to RDA Pull from it. Welp I tried and did not succeed in pulling using the new syntax (really I just changed the agent dll name that was in the newly created IIS virtual directory SSCE30.) Did any of the calling code change? With rda .InternetLogin = String.Empty .InternetPassword = String.Empty .InternetUrl = _strInternetURL .LocalConnectionString = g_strlocalDataSource .Pull("Users", strSQL, _strRemoteConnect, System.Data.SqlServerCe.RdaTrackOption.TrackingOff) End With Anyway I went back to the old SSCE20 pointer and THAT actually works with the new SQLServer 2005 database!! Weird eh? My general question is this: Apparently in debug run mode via ActiveSync, it IS possible to use the old agent DLL sscesa20.dll to Pull data from a SQLServer 2005 database. I've not been able to do this from the ethernet cradled device running the same code. If my app might be paired with either Windows 2000 SP3 OR SQLServer 2005, must I right different code to branch to the appropriate agent? or is there an agent that I should use that is compatible backwardly?

    - Prevent light-off/key-lock/suspend/standby My application has to upload quite some data, which takes a long time. In the meantime the device goes into 'suspend' mode (at least the light turns off and the keypad gets locked). The side-effect is that the network connection is broken as well (at least the WiFi connection). How to prevent 'suspend' can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z4k4wb9k(VS.80).aspx But that didn't solve my problem. How can I prevent the screen from going black and the keys from becoming locked? Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77176

    - KeyPreview? Hi, We are developing a WinCE app for PocketPC 2003 (.net 2). I am using KeyPreview = True in my forms to be able catch some keys and do special processing in the forms (like shortcuts). We have a main menu form that uses those shortcuts to call other forms. If we have keypreview = true in the children forms when they are activated the KeyUp event is called in the form (like the key was pressed for them, ie: like pressing the key twice). Any ideas?

    - CE 5.0 Video and Animation I've searched this and other groups and haven't come up with an acceptable solution. We need to be able to display animated gifs and video (avi,wmv,mov... any single format will be fine) within a control on a form. We have Windows CE 5.0 platform with windows media player 9. It is not pocket pc or windows mobile. 1. For the gifs, I've looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/animationcontrol.asp and don't want to have to convert all of our gifs to this storyboard format. Actually I don't know of a program that will do this for me. Has anyone found a solution for this? 2. For the video, I understand that for WMP 10, I could build an activex wrapper and use the activex version of WMP, but we currently do not have WMP 10 available and I'm not sure if our supplier would be able to add it to our devices. Has anyone found/developed a non-wmp solution for diplaying video within the compactframework? or are there other 3rd party solutions available that I'm not finding?

    - random problem using opennetcf connection manager Hi there, I've had this problem occur to me a number of times through the emulator and yesterday for the first time on my test device (imate JAMin) My code programatically makes a connection to the internet with whatever is available (i guess in this order - activesync, wireless, gsm) But during the initialization of the connection, the program just shut down with no error message, so i cant catch where the problem could be except i suspect it is in this function (not saying its a coding error, could be something within the opennetcf connection manager class??): i call the following line to initialize the connection to the internet GPRS.Connect(True, "the internet") and here is the function: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public Sub Connect(ByVal doconnect As Boolean, ByVal connectDesc As String) ConnMgr = New ConnectionManager() AddHandler ConnMgr.OnConnect, AddressOf Connected AddHandler ConnMgr.OnConnectionFailed, AddressOf ConnectFailed AddHandler ConnMgr.OnConnectionStateChanged, AddressOf ConnectionWaiting AddHandler ConnMgr.OnDisconnect, AddressOf ConnectionDisconnect DIF = ConnMgr.EnumDestinations() is_connected = False If ConnMgr.Status.ToString() <> "Connected" Then Try For Each di As DestinationInfo In DIF If Trim(LCase(di.description)) = Trim(LCase(connectDesc)) Then If doconnect = True Then ConnMgr.Connect(di.guid, True, ConnectionMode.Asynchronous) Exit Sub Else Try ConnMgr.Disconnect() Catch ex As Exception Finally ConnMgr = Nothing End Try End If End If Next di Catch err As SystemException End Try End If End Sub Sub Connected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) is_connected = True End Sub Sub ConnectFailed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) is_connected = False MessageBox.Show("Could not connect, please try again later.")

    - Windows mobile form layout question (hiding/unhiding controls) Hi, I am developing a wireless survey application. This application could have three sets of controls: Radio buttons or Checkboxes and a text area. A question could "select only one" in which case I will show the radio buttons and a textarea for any comments. A question could be "select all that apply" in which I will show the checkboxes and a textarea for any comments. And a question could be "open-ended" in which case I will show just the textarea for comments. Now, I know that I can of course hide the control by setting the visible property of the checkboxes. However, for open-ended questions, I want the text area to move up where checkboxes and radio buttons would have been so there is no break between where the question ends, and the text area. If I just hide the radiobuttons/checkboxes, their place is still designated on a windows form. How can I actually move the textarea up to take up the hidden radio buttons and checkboxes space? Thanks. AIK Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77156

    - Callback function pointer on CF 2.0 from unmanaged C DLL -> NotSupportedException Hi, i'm not sure if this is a bug in the CF2, so here are the details: I have One Windows Mobile CE 5.1.195 (IPAQ hw6910) One Windows CE 4.2 PDA with Arm XScale (Psion Teklogix) On both i have installed compact framework .net 2.0 SP1 (cgacutil.exe shows 1.0.4292.2 and 2.0.6129) I have compiled the C# exe and C dll code with VC++ 2005. When i want to call a native unmanaged C dll with a callback function pointer i get: ---------- NotSupportedException: System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegateInternal ---------- During startup my System.Environment.Version.ToString() reports CF 2.0.6129 Here is the code: // C# public delegate bool FPtr(int value); public class LibWrap { [DllImport("test.dll")] public static extern void TestCallBack(IntPtr cb, int value); } public static bool DoSomething( int value ) { Console.WriteLine( "\n[C#]: Callback called: {0}", value ); return true; } And i call it like this: // C# FPtr cb = new FPtr(DoSomething); IntPtr cbForDelegate = Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(cb); LibWrap.TestCallBack(cbForDelegate, 99); // throws exception! The C test.dll header: extern "C" { typedef bool (CALLBACK *FPTR)( int i ); __declspec (dllexport) extern void TestCallBack( FPTR pf, int value ); } The C test.dll source: extern "C" void TestCallBack( FPTR pf, int value ) { bool res; printf( "\ndll: Received value: %i", value ); printf( "\ndll: Passing to callback..." ); res = (*pf)(value); if( res ) printf( "dll: Callback returned true.\n" ); else printf( "dll: Callback returned false.\n" ); } I have tried to compile the dll with /TC or /TP (c++), same result. Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks Marcel Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77146

    - Sending Windows msgs: C# to C++ First off, thanks to everyone in all groups for helping in the past. I'm developing an application that is a mixture of two types of executables: the "parent" file is written in C# and the "child" is written in C++. I need to have some basic communication from the parent to the child. I've looked into calling SendMessage and PostMessage, but I just can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. And, unfortunately (as usual), I need to have it yesterday. Here's what I'm trying to do. The child app is started automatically upon a reboot of the device. Then, the parent app is started. The child app is a specialized communication system that, at this point, must be written in C++ (using eVC4). The parent app (written in VCS2003) contains a button ([File Transfer]) that packages the data in an XML file and adds it to a "queue". Then, it starts the comm process (child app) if it isn't already running. All of this takes place when the device is docked in a special cradle. I need to be able to: 1) Get the "application" handle of the child, if it exists; or create the process and get the handle (starting a child app seems to work with no problem). The message functions require an HWND, which I believe is the same as an IntPtr, but I'm unable to properly convert/use it. 2) Send a message to the child app to tell it to minimize or maximize. In other words, I want it to "sleep" in the background until it's needed, and then become visible. Caveats: I am doing this with Windows CE Pocket PC version 4.20. I'm also using CF 1.0. I also have OpenNETCF 1.4 available. I can't seem to get CF 2.0 to work on this hardware/OS. Can someone...anyone...explain to me how this is done, or point me to a resource?

    - MSMQ HTTP queues in Windows Mobile 5 Hi. Not sure if this should be in this group or the msmq group. We are developing a windows mobile 5 application using VB.NET CF2.0, VS2005, that is to send messages using MSMQ to a client server. the client will only accept this if we connect using HTTP queues. I've seen postings & weblogs relating to this which initially said HTTP wasnt supported in MSMQ in WM5, then it was but there was was a bug in it. I've not seen any subsequent postings to indicate if the bug is fixed. Can someone please point me in the right direction to an answer? Thanks. Ian.

    - System.Security.Cryptography and OpenNETCF.Security.Cryptography Hi, I would like to use the ProtectedData.Protect() and Unprotect() features to securely store sensitive info on the pda. I noticed that these methods are not available for the compact framework. So ofcourse I went looking into the OpenNETCF namespaces and fortunately I found them there. A few questions: - Daniel Moth mentions in his blog (http://blog.opennetcf.org/dmoth/PermaLink,guid,29233388-f9a9-4056-bc97-2b90035cf542.aspx) that the OpenNETCF.Security.Cryptography.* types are dropped due to enhancements in CF 2.0. However, I still see them. Should I use them or not? - I tried to use the Protect and Unprotect methods from OpenNETCF, but whatever I do, the Unprotect method keeps throwing a CryptographicException. Does anybody have a working example on how to use these? I basically do the following: Encrypt: ApplicationSettings["EncryptedPassword"] = Convert.ToBase64String(ProtectedData.Protect(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value), null, DataProtectionScope.LocalMachine)); Decrypt: byte[] arrDecrypted = ProtectedData.Unprotect(Convert.FromBase64String(ApplicationSettings["EncryptedPassword"]), null, DataProtectionScope.LocalMachine); The exception occurs when I try to Unprotect it. I tried it with and without the entropy bytes. Also, how does the enum DataProtectionScope apply to the compact framework? MSDN says that with the CurrentUser enum the data is associated with the current user. Only threads running under the current user context can unprotect the data. For LocalMachine, any process can unprotect the data. I'm not sure how this would work on a pda. Is there something like a current user context and a machine context?

    - How to share a xsd dataset between a CF app and a desktop app Hi, I'm looking for a smart way to share a strongly typed dataset (xdf file and its generated code) between a CF 2.0 SP1 application and a .Net 2.0 desktop application (in the same solution). If I duplicate the xsd file in the two projects, I need update both xsd files each time I update the dataset. If I add the same dataset as a linked file, code generated file is linked too, and the CF format of this file differs from the desktop one. Do you have any solution that share the xsd file between the two projects, keeping both CF generated code and desktop generated code ?

    - Embedd maps in CF application Hi group, I have started similar threads other times, but I don't receive many suggestions, that's why I'm back here again. I hope this time all you discuss with me the current mapping capabilities on mobile devices. I think this kind of thread deserves a little bit activity. Well, to the point: I want add mapping capability to my CF application, that is, show the user a map pinpointing his exact location. What are the options? I've already tried VE Mobile but latest source code is not available. Available source code does not work because MS has changed its tile server logic. Google Maps: is not correctly rendered in IExplorer of most devices and I don't want to launch IExplorer from my application; I want to embedd maps into my CF application. Thus, what are the options (free and not free) to deal with maps in CF applications? Mappoint? I'm sure somebody has dealt with this before. Thanks very much in advance.

    - CF Web Reference Hi all I'm writing a compact framework app. This app needs to receive a large binary (zip file) from a webservice. The problem is that the byte[] will be retrieved into RAM before I can save it to my external memory card. I am concerned that as the size of this zip file grows my PPCs will no longer have enough RAM to receive all of the response. Is there any way I can retrieve the binary data directly to a FileStream instead of into memory? Thanks Pete Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77130

    - a question of logic regarding updating database structure with software update. Hi there, i've got a client app that supports software updates over the internet. For now, most changes have just been code related and didnt require adding tables/fields to the sql database. However now i have come to this issue whereas with new version i need to add new table(s) or add field(s) to existing table. What i currently do is this: with my app i have a file called db.xml which holds the tables that are generated on first program use, looks something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <db> <version>2.0.0</version> <sql>CREATE TABLE Users (userIDINT PRIMARY KEY,Ime NVARCHAR(50),Password NVARCHAR(50))</sql> <sql>CREATE TABLE Partner(PartnerID INT PRIMARY KEY, Partner NVARCHAR(50), Adres NVARCHAR(50), TelF NVARCHAR(35), Email NVARCHAR(50), Contact NVARCHAR(50))</sql> <sql>...... and so on So this is where i'm at - eg.. user A has a software program with database version 1.0, but my app just upgraded and the database version requires db script version 2.0 Instead of dropping all the tables like i do now, regenerating with the new script, i'd ideally like to apply only the tables/fields that are missing. Can anyone give my some pointers to the best way i could implement this - providing i still use my db.xml file? thanks, Paul Tag: CF 2.0 install problem on Handheld device Tag: 77129

    - problem with printing via bluetooth printer adapter Hi there, i've got a BlueTake BT200 bluetooth printer adapter thats hooked up to an EPSON LX300 dot matrix printer, and an app that creates a text file, then sends the stream of the text file to the bluetooth port. It prints out good, however something is making it print very very slow with pauses in between. my file size is 2kb, bluetooth adapter buffer is 32kb and printer i think is 4 or 8kb so it shouldnt be a buffer issue but i cant figure out why it prints so slow. If i print via BTfrom a desktop text file, the performance is fine and it prints fast. Here is the code i use to pass the data to the bluetooth port: Sub SendToSerial(ByVal outputDestination As printType, ByVal filename As String) Dim pC As New CFPrinting.CommDevice Dim fs As IO.FileStream Try pC.Port = "COM7:" Try pC.Init() fs = IO.File.Open(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Open) Dim ctr As Integer = 0 For j As Integer = 0 To CInt(fs.Length - 1) If ctr = 1024 Then Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ctr = 0 End If pC.Send(Convert.ToByte(fs.ReadByte())) ctr += 1 Next fs.Close() Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) Finally fs = Nothing pC.ClosePort() pC.Dispose() End Try Catch ex As Exception 'error occured here...

    - Background thread with lower priority Hi, I have a CF 2.0 app that uses 2 background threads. 1 for polling for a network connection and 1 for performing a background sync. First I used the OpenNETCF BackgroundWorker for this purpose. However, when performing a background sync the UI became unresponsive. Now I changed it to a regular thead using: Thread backgroundSyncThread = new Thread(DoBackgroundSync); backgroundSyncThread.Priority = ThreadPriority.Lowest; backgroundSyncThread.IsBackground = true; backgroundSyncThread.Start(); However, I read here http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/2004/08/threads-and-threadpriority-with-net.html, that chaging the priority of threads may be risky because garbage collection could run on the low priority thread. It's an article from August 2004 but does mention CF 2.0 beta 1. Does this still apply? And if so, what are other ways to make sure that the (potentially long) running background thread doesn't freeze the UI? Is doing a Thread.Sleep(0) from the worker thread effective? I've read different stories about the effectiveness of Thread.Sleep(0)...

It won't push the CAB to the target. It pushes it and then installs it, so
the CAB gets deleted once run.
