    - Compact framework and symbol PPT 2800 scanner I am developing an application using compact framework. This application uses Symbol PPT 2800 and it is required to scan barcode and update the Database using web services. I had posted a question earlier and Alex suggested that I download .Net mobility kit from Symbol's website (Alex, thank you!). I have downloaded and installed 'Windows CE .NET Utilities v1.1 for Visual Studio .NET 2003' but am not sure how to use it. When I open my application via Visual studio, I was hoping to see some controls like 'Scan control' added to my CF toolbox. I am very new to this. can somebody please help me with where can I get scanning related controls\code? Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15179

    - Emulator not installing as expected. Previously I asked here if I where to have someone with out the Development environment install the PocketPC SDK on their machine, if the emulator would install. The consensus on the group was, that yes it would install. Well, unfortunately everything else (which he does not need) installed fine, help, Readme and the SDK command line shortcut. But not a trace of the emulator. When installing he got a warning saying that eMbedded Visual C++ was not installed and to click Ok to install the SDK to develop application using Visual Studio .Net. Everything else proceeded fine. What do we need to do to get the emulator to install !!!!???? Any ideas? Thanks Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15161

    - Strange .Net CF GAC behaviour Stan Adermann gave me, some months ago, the tips to register resources dll into the GAC. Unfortunately, I have a lot of troubles with the GAC behaviour, I can't make figure out what the program result will be. My test program tries to load a simple string, this string is stored in the standard neutral DLL, in an english one and in a french one. When I run the program, sometimes I get the default (neutral) message, sometimes I have a "MissingMethodException". Sometimes no resources dll are recorded, sometimes only the english one is. That's really unpredictable. I can provide my little test program for interested people. My config is Dell Axim X5 with PPC2003 and .Net CF SP1. Thanks for your help.

    - SqlCeDataAdapter and Fill(ds) I am working on a .NET Compact Framework app using SqlCe and have run into a problem using the Fill method of the SqlCeDataAdapter. For some reason, the version of the framework I am running does not support the fill method. The documentation in my Visual Studio .NET 2003 says the method is there, but when I try to compile the application VS tells me there is no such method. Has anybody seen this before. Any clues as to how to fix it? Perhaps I am missing a framework update I don't know about. My framework says it is v1.1 but when I look at the actual System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll it says it is v1.0.5.0000 Thanks Mike Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15145

    - Reflection - Getfield/Setvalue question ... I likely just don't fully understand how reflection works, but what I want to do is allow the user to manually enter in any field name (ie. BackColor, ForeColor, Size, etc..) and a corresponding value, and then change the value of that property at runtime. Using 'hardcoded values', I'm trying: Dim pi As System.Reflection.FieldInfo Dim strFieldName as string = "BackColor" Dim NewValue as Color = Color.Red Dim x As Control = CType(MyControl, Control) pi = x.GetType().getfield(strFieldName, Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic Or Reflection.BindingFlags.GetField Or Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance) pi.SetValue(Nothing, NewValue) When I run this code I do not get an error on the pi = x.GetType line, however pi always ends up being 'nothing'. When I try to run this in imeediate mode I get a 'Parameter is incorrect' error. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, --Terry --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - CF run problem Hi all, I made a freeware app that I put up on Handango. I've been talking to one user who owns an Ipaq 5550 (WM2003) who says he has problems getting the app to run. I've tested the app on both 2002 and 2003 emulators, and on my Ipaq 2215 (WM2003), all works with no problem. No other users have reported problems. The error he sent me was: "A managed InvalidCastException occurred at Application::Run+0xf Could not find resource assembly Application::Run+0xf WolfClock::Main::0xa OK to terminate" Now, I'm trying to figure out how to best troubleshoot this. If any of you guys have a 5550 let me know :) In the meantime, I've sent him the CAB file for ARM device specifically (was using ezsetup to bundle them together) to install on the PPC, in case that was the issue, but I haven't heard back yet and am not confident that will change anything. The "Could not find resource assembly" seems rather peculiar. I had him reinstall the .NET framework SP1, but that didn't help. My app uses the XML and Drawing libraries. As a second question, is there a way to bundle the .NET framework with my app, or at least verify the components I use are installed? Thanks guys, Brian Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15136

    - "Designed for Windows..." certification requirements ? One of the items in the "Designed for Windows for Pocket PC Handbook for Software Applications" is "Required: Help Systems Integrated with System TOC". Maybe I'm looking for the wrong things or in the wrong places, but does anyone know of a place that I can find information on what the recommended method is to achieve conformance with this requirement from the .NET Compact Framework (C#)? Everything I've found so far refers to either the .NET Framework on the desktop (but not included in the Compact Framework) or refers to the eMbedded Visual Tools. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- -Dale PS. - Sorry about reposting this question, I just thought this subject line was more descriptive and might solicit more response.

    - Invoke a PPC program from desktop Dear all, I wish to invoke a program that already resides on the pocket pc that is docked upon docking. I already knew there's a event provided by the communication library of opennetcf that can give me an event when the ppc is docked. I wonder how can i call a ppc program to run from desktop, most likely via activesync. Regards Chris Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15126

    - HELP: Some solution design questions and ActiveSync issue Hi all, Thanks for reading. I am currently implementing a mobile solution for a client, the solution required information to be downloaded from multiple data sources into the pocket pc for offline viewing. The solution will allows user to perform their duty on phone support off working hours. At first, I am proposing on .NCF and SQL Server CE as a solution, but as the client insists not to maintain any additional application on the pocket pc (based on low usage, perhaps less than 20 such call a week off working hour), we reached an agreement to implement it by using a reporting tool on the server side. The solution decision also based on the requirements to simply the technical architecture, leverage existing architecture, minimize development efforts, and enable the "application" to be neutral on mobile platform and devices, apart from maintenance issue. The reporting tool able to generate html report files. The current design is to have one record equivalent to a single html files since there are quite a number of fields for a particular record (parent and child included). As an average, there are around 8000 records which means 8000 files to be generated. Based on the new design, for the initial load at least, I need to transfer 8000 records from the server to the pocket pc via ActiveSync (Assuming that client don't want to use card reader either), for the subsequent upload (daily), only modified html files (records) will be downloaded to the pocket pc. I had wrote a small .NET app to perform the folder and files compare and copy the new / modified files to a 3rd folder, which will be used to download and overwritten file on pocket pc. Deleted records will also be able to identified and empty content file will be generated by the small .NET app to replace the file on the pocket pc. The html files will be stored on the pocket pc's SD card. I recommend Resco Explorer 2003 as the search capability (filename search). No upload from pocket pc to server is required. Another possible solution is the reporting tool just generated reports for records that have been modified, but well... it's too complex or difficult as the data is from multiple data sources (different system, and database platform as well) and spread across multiple tables and there aren't any place to identify last modification date as a whole in simple way. I know this design sound very troublesome and lot of manual work ( i don't like it either), but that is beyond my decision to make the call :( On top of that, even with the design, lot of things can be simplified if there is a card reader where i can directly compare the folder contains new generated files with the folder on the SD card. Well, well... let's assume i won't have a luxury of a card reader (though it's very cheap on the market), I am currently doing some performance testing on the file transfer (my client are not too concerns with the download performance though, on top of that i managed to identify and copy only the modified files over by using the small app i wrote...which is not many files since is run daily). *I need to answer 2 questions myself, 1) Any limitation on number of files allowed in a single folder. 2) Any limitation on ActiveSync in term of number of files allowed to transfer in a single session here is some of my issues and discovery of the ActiveSync file transfer.... I am doing some testing to copy 10 thousands html files from computer to pocket pc via activesync, but i found that it have the following issue - the file transfer will fail after the file #999, complaining that there aren't anymore free spaces on the SD card... which is not the case. The same error message and problem if i unzip a zip files with 10 thousands html files into a single folder on SD, the operation will fail exactly at the file #999. I check my SD card format, it's FAT32. So, it didn't seems to be a limitation of activesync file transfer but the pocket pc limitation. To justify my recovery, I did another testing, this time i copy the files into pocket pc memory instead of SD card. Well, to my suprise it success without any problems at all. Apparently, no limitation on number of files a folder can contains. So, I thought this must have something to do with my SD card format To add confusion and complexity to the issue, I did another testing by copy the files over using a card reader, guess what? Not a problem as well, and my pocket pc didn't have any problems accessing or searching files in the folder. It seems that i cannot get a definite answer to both of my *question, I am totally confused, any ideas? please help as i need to find out if this is a stopper to the whole design and identify alternative to it. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Jeff Ong Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15107

    - .NET CF App won't work on ARMV4i device Hi Everyone I used the guide by Steve and Mike (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnembedded/html/embedded04012003.asp). to create a simple .NET CF Application for my ARM4i device (connected through ethernet, not ActiveSync). I followed the guide step by step and encountered no problems - til launching the application. Everything worked out fine, VS .NET2003 could deploy the app to the device, but the App just does not run. It does nothing, there is no error there is no mouse pointer change, there is absolutely nothing happening, when the application should start (see log below). If I try to manually start the deployed application on the device by double clicking the .exe file, absolutely nothing happens - no error, nothing. This is driving me insane. Has anyone an Idea what the problem could be? Thanks for any hints -Michael P.S. If I deploy the app on the Emulator it works.

    - BUG: Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Val(string) Hi This is reproducible on our own 4.2 based device as well as in the emulator.. with SP1 or the current SP2 beta... Haven't tried on a PocketPC maybe someone else can please(?) When the locale is set to something like French (where decimal separators are commas and not dots) calling Val("23.45") throws a System.FormatException... Note that the same function call on the desktop works as expected and as documented (i.e. The Val function recognizes only the period (.) as a valid decimal separator) Interestingly passing "23,45" to it returns 23,00... which is correct (Val stops converting at the first character that cannot be interpreted as a numeric digit, numeric modifier, numeric punctuation, or white space.) I had a quick look with Anakrino on the desktop and cf implementations of Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Val(string) and they seem identical except they both call HexOrOctValue which have slight differences... Any ideas? In the meantime since C# does not have an equivalent maybe someone has written a handy function I could use until it gets fixed...(?) Cheers Daniel PS In case the repro line of code was not clear just execute the following when the locale is set to French... MessageBox.Show(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Val("34.3").ToString()) Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15096

    - Rugged Device and the Compact Framework Hey all, I need some advice. I have been given the task of writing a database application for a mobile handheld PC. The unit must have a QWERTY keyboard and support the .NET framework. The unit described above failed this test. The OS on the Fex21 is Handheld PC 2000. I assumed that I could write an application in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and deploy it to the Windows CE device, and everything would work fine. Now I read that the device must have Pocket PC 2000 or 2002 ( or CE.NET ) in order to work properly. My question is: Is there any (1) Half-VGA, (2) QWERTY keyboard, (3) Pocket PC 2000/2002/CE.NET devices currently on sale? Or will I have to go back to eMbedded Visual Basic? Was my investment in VS.NET 2003 a waste of money? Regards Ross... Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15089

    - save DataSet to XML Perhaps a rather easy question for most of you but I'm stuck on it. 1) I've been trying for the past couple of days to save my dataset to an XML file. I used to be able to save it without problem by using the following method : CustomersDS.WriteXml("deliveredCustomers.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema); now I get the following error : "System.Data.DataSet.WriteXml(string, System.Data.XmlWriteMode)' is inaccessible due to its protection level" - what does that mean? My dataset is initialised as private, I changed it to public but still get the same problem. 2) I've also been trying to save directly to an XML file without going through a DataSet (should save time!) by using the streamwriter and the innerXml method. I've created a rather simple form with a couple of textboxes that I want to save to XML when I click on a button. This is what the code looks like : private void buildXmlDoc() { XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); XmlNode deliveredCustomersNode; XmlNode nameNode; XmlNode emailNode; xmlDoc.Load("customersDelivered.xml"); deliveredCustomersNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("delivered"); xmlDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(deliveredCustomersNode); nameNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Name"); nameNode.InnerText = listBox1.SelectedValue.ToString(); deliveredCustomersNode.AppendChild(nameNode); emailNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Email"); emailNode.InnerText = textBoxEmail.Text; deliveredCustomersNode.AppendChild(emailNode); //create a FileStream obj so we can save the XML file FileStream strmSaveToFile = new FileStream("customersDelivered.xml", FileMode.OpenOrCreate,FileAccess.Write); //instantiating a DataWriter obj so we can write the XML file to disk StreamWriter wrDataWriter = new StreamWriter(strmSaveToFile); wrDataWriter.Write(xmlDoc.InnerXml); wrDataWriter.Close(); MessageBox.Show("XML file saved!"); textBoxAddress.DataBindings.Clear(); textBoxPhone.DataBindings.Clear(); textBoxEmail.DataBindings.Clear(); textBoxCountry.DataBindings.Clear(); textBoxAddress.Text=""; textBoxPhone.Text=""; textBoxEmail.Text=""; textBoxCountry.Text=""; listBox1.SelectedIndex=0; DataSet _CustomersDS = new DataSet("Customers"); _CustomersDS.ReadXml("customersDelivered.xml"); bindControls(); } This method however doesn't seem to work. Does the deliveredCustomers.xml file need to exist before I can use this method ? Is there any way I can add/append data to the end of the xml file ?

    - Can't debug Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of how to fix my debugging problem. Up until a couple of days ago, I've always been able to debug a program and stop on any line I choose. But since delivering the program to the client, I've now come back to make some changes and no matter what I do, I can't get the IDE to go into debugging mode. I've changed both exe's of the two projects in the solution from release to debug, but neither enter will enter debug mode. The best I get is deploying the app, launching the app, the hour glass appears on the device, but then nothing the app doesn't run and consequently I never reach the breakpoint. This happens with both projects. I'm sure I've done something dumb, but just can't figure it out. If I just run the apps, they both run fine - its just appears to be debugger.

    - Adding 2 icons in setup Hi All, How can I associate 2 icons (32x32 and 16x16) with the application? If I associate 16x16 icon with the application and install the application using setup, then it displays properly on start menu, but in programs folder 16x16 icon looks odd. If I associate 32x32 then it displays it properly in program folder but displays only 1/4th icon in start menu. Does someone know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    - Databases and SQL I am writing a basic useful little program for myself. It will use a db that is stored on the ppc. If I create a database using access, how do i transfer that to the ppc emulator and make sure it stays there (I don't have a real ppc at the moment!)? Also, when accessing the db from the ppc program, do I need to use the System.Data.SqlClient namespace? Any information is gratefully accepted. Also any links or tutorials (basic) using database access on ppc would also be great. Thanks in advance for any help given. John Young Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15047

    - quick install question.... I'm reading kilometers of documentation. eventually I will get through it. however I just need a simple tip to build a quick and dirty install (for this afternoon) I could simply copy the file of my application to make it work, that's it ! (that's .NET !) however my app is dependant on: - .NET Compact Framework (for which I have an installer) - the .NET SqlClient for CCF for the later (SqlClient) I have no installer, if someone could tell me where to find an installer for it that would gives me a handy quick fix. anyway to install SqlClient CE.NET easily, independantly ?????

    - Multiple Closing Events Fired Just found something kinda fascinating. When you have a form with minimizeBox = false (OK Button), and you have a user who is by nature a "double clicker" - your closing events for that form will actually fire multiple times (even if you set a breakpoint in Debug mode, the OK button can still be clicked and will queue up closing events!) Any code you have in your OnClosing or Closing event handlers will be run multiple times. Hardly an efficient use of resources, and, as I can testify to, can cause some really unpleasant suprises. I imagine this is because the title bar is native and not really part of the app, but it sure seems like a bug to me. One would think that it should stop firing events unless the closing is cancelled. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Anyone from MS aware of this? Is it, per chance, on the radar for SP2 (seems to be a lot of "Title Bar Blues" fixes in SP2 - just hoping this is one of them.) Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15040

    - Help Systems Integrated with System TOC One of the items in the "Designed for Windows for Pocket PC Handbook for Software Applications" is "Required: Help Systems Integrated with System TOC". Maybe I'm looking for the wrong things or in the wrong places, but does anyone know of a place that I can find information on what the recommended method is to achieve conformance with this requirement from the .NET Compact Framework (C#)? Everything I've found so far refers to either the .NET Framework on the desktop (but not included in the Compact Framework) or refers to the eMbedded Visual Tools. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- -Dale Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15029

    - Debug in PPC 2003 emulator My new install of VS .Net 2003 and PPC 2003 SDK on a WIN XP Pro computer works fine all except for debug in the PPC 2003 emulator. The project deploys OK and will run OK without debug. (Same in PPC 2002 emulator as well). Attempts to debug produce no error messages, but there is a delay while it seems to attempt to start things, but it then gives up after 30-60 seconds. MSDN only mentions lack of network connection as causing this problem, but the computer is always connected to a network. Perhaps some specific network settings are required? Any help would be much appreciated. -- Rodney Tag: PPC 2003 SDK and SP1 problems Tag: 15019

The problem: My users are using PDAs which have internet connections (verizon). When I try to pull data from the internet and no connection is present it connects automatically but then doesn't pull the data. If we connect manually before trying to pull the data it works fine. Any idea what I can do to get around this?? The question: I have created the cab and need to create a full install of 1 cab for everything. I am installing SQLCE, CF, and my app. Any help on this??

Hi there,

I have a problem whenever I try to install the PPC 2003 SDK. When run, it
always gives me displays the error ...

" Internal Error 2229. ,InstallExecuteSequence, SELECT
'Action', NULL, 'Condition' FROM
'InstallExecuteSequence' WHERE 'Sequence' > 0
ORDER BY 'Sequence'"

I have checked with the MS website, but that only tells me to turn off virus
checkers etc. I have done this, and still cannot get it to install. I have
downloaded the same file 7 times now, and at 80Mb or so, it is a large
download !!! Any ideas (pppllllleeeeaaasseee..)?

Also, I have downloaded the Compact Framework .NET 1.0 SP1, and that just
complains that the installer package could not be opened.!?!?! Again, any
ideas.

I am using Win2K3Server, VS.NET2K3, .NET1.1, and (for now) PPC2002.

Thanks again for any help.

John Young
