    - Networks with no DNS I have written a .net program that runs on a pocketPC that talks wirelessly to a non .net program on a sever though sockets. The program works fine on our network here, but on the customers it gets an exception "No such host is known". I do not think their network has a DNS server. Here is code I use to connect. The string ServerAddr is the IP address of the server in string form. socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); socket.Blocking = true; IPHostEntry IPHost = Dns.GetHostByAddress(IPAddress.Parse(ServerAddr)); string[] aliases = IPHost.Aliases; IPAddress[] addr = IPHost.AddressList; IPEndPoint ipepServer = new IPEndPoint(addr[0], Port); socket.Connect(ipepServer); If it would help I could give you the results of IPConfig when run from the command line on the server. I can also ping the server from the PocketPC so I know that it can see the server. Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27126

    - How to resize PictureBox image Does anyone know how to resize an image in a PictureBox? I have been able to resize an image using Graphics.DrawImage in OnPaint, but CF does not support the CreateGraphics method for a PictureBox. I can select SizeMode in a PictureBox and that handles the different mode requirements that I have, but CF does not support SizeMode for anything but a PictureBox. If I could get the image associated with the Graphics object after I draw it and then pass that to the PictureBox, that would suffice, but I can't seem to find how to do that either. Any ideas will be appreciated Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27118

    - How to get path to Templates folder? Is there a reliable culture neutral way to get the path to the built in "Templates" folder? Obviously P/Invoking SHGetSpecialFolderPath won't do the trick because it doesn't return the Templates folder path. I have an app that uses templates and documents similar to pocke word so I want to implement the Pocket Word method of sticking templates to the templates folder and regular documents elsewhere, but I have yet to find a reliable way to determine if a folder is the official Templates folder. (i.e. non english platforms obviously won't call it "templates" and a user could easily make a "templates" folder elsewhere confusing the issue) Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27112

    - What to Use? I have a large maintenance system running in paper mills. We are moving towards Pocket PCs for the collection of lubrication and inspection information of the equipment. I am a seasoned VB6 programmer and was wonder what should I use to develop these apps. I know that eVB is free but have heard it is dying and has problems. I have VB.Net standard but It does not appear to have any tools for Pocket PC development. First, is eVB a bad choice, and, what version of VB.net (or visual Studio) would I need to develop for pocket PC's? I have visual studio 6 enterprise. What version of VS.net (should/can) I get at a reasonable upgrade price? Thanks, Kim Dobranski > > Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27089

    - Marshal function leaking memory Hi, I hope someone can help with this one. I'm using below function but it is leaking memory although an article on MSDN says it should not leak memory. Dim TopHandle As Integer TopHandle = GetForegroundWindow() Dim buffer() As Byte Dim buffersize As Integer = 250 Dim p As IntPtr = LocalAlloc(&H40, buffersize) GetWindowText(TopHandle, p, buffersize) Dim w As String // Take away below line and the memory leak is gone w = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.PtrToStringUni(p) LocalFree(p) The marshal function is causing the memory leak. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jo. Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27088

    - GetTotalMemory, GlobalMemoryStatus Hi Hopefully someone can help me clarify some memory issues and in particular the difference between GetTotalMemory & GlobalMemoryStatus... Apparently GetTotalMemory(false) retrieves the number of bytes currently thought to be allocated. I assume the bytes returned reflect only the managed bytes(objects) that *my* managed code has allocated, is that correct? In other words if I have PInvoke calls that allocate memory that would not be included, right? Is there anything else GetTotalMemory excludes that one would assume is included? I observe a large difference between what GetTotalMemory returns and what GlobalMemoryStatus reports (taking in account the memory used by the system. No other apps running). I am guessing this is because the GlobalMemoryStatus includes the JITed code as used memory whereas GetTotalMemory doesn't; is that correct? Still the discrepancy is large so there must be other factors that I am not aware of... For example when GetTotalMemory returns 446KB GlobalMemoryStatus (or indeed the memory control panel or even the remote system info from eVC) shows 9072KB. What extra bytes is it including? It seems even the simplest CF app (8KB exe) consumes over 1MB of memory. Is that right or is there some flaw in my approach? Also GC.Collect affect the results of GetTotalMemory but not the results of GlobalMemoryStatus... is that in line with your observations? Note that when the above results are observed, I then leave the unit/app running for at least 1 hour (in idle mode) and the results remain the same... I have also used the slider to effectively force a memory load of over 95%... Cheers Daniel Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27086

    - OOM component, OutOfMemoryException Hi I have been experiencing the OOM dialog that CE throws up so I am trying to diagnose where the leak in my app is (assuming there is one)... The dialog pops up with the caption "Program Memory is Low". Then there are options to close a form down or "Convert some Storage Memory to Program Memory...". I understand this is the OOM component... I would like to handle this situation in my code rather than have the OS do it not only because that dialog actually goes beyond our (240x320) screen but because I would rather reset the unit (or restart the app) if a GC.Collect doesn't help at that point... So the questions are: 1. Has anybody else done this before? I understand that I will have remove the OOM component and then call SetOOMEvent (just changing the registry values had no effect)... I think I'll pass it a handle and 0s for the remaining 4 values.. Anybody see a problem with that? 2. Shouldn't I get an OutOfMemoryException when the low memory condition occurs? Replicating a low memory condition (using the memory slider) always results in the OOM dialog coming up and never an OutOfMemoryException. Could it be a case of the dialog popping up before the GC has a chance to collect the garbage? Cheers Daniel PS This is with CF 1.0 SP2 on own CE 4.2-based device Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27085

    - Printing Invoices I've gone through every post I could find and have found 3 solutions, but none of them are working for me. The situation: My app will be used by field technicians to print service invoices out in the field. They will be printing to HP printers via IrDA. The problem is that I can't format and print my invoices. The first solution I found was FieldSoftware's PrinterCE tool, but my employer is a small pest control business and can't afford to buy this for me. It would work perfectly, as I could format the invoices properly, but it's not an option for me. The second solution I read about was creating an HTML document and somehow printing that. This would be great if someone could explain to me how I could print an HTML file. I found the HP Mobile Printer SDK, but it doesn't support printing HTML files. It only supports a handful of text/picture files and I don't know if I could even convert my HTML file to a format that the printer SDK could even use. Any ideas on this? The third solutions seems to be using PInvoke. I've never used it before, but I poked around have a general idea of how it works. It sounds like I'm supposed to use some methods in coredll.dll, but I can't figure out which ones. I can't even figure out what methods are in that file. Someone mentioned "dumpbin /all coredll.dll", but when I ran that I got an error that said I was missing mspdb71.dll, which Google knows nothing about. Is there a site somewhere that lists the members I could PInvoke in that file? Is that the file I'm even supposed to be using? Any help would be much appreciated. I've been spinning my wheels for several days now, going through forums and websites. Thanks in advance, Deadly_Bait Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27083

    - Exceptions in exceptions in webservices Hey Cryptic subject, eh... In my webservice im doing code like this: try { //Some code that might generate an exception } catch { //Im logging all errors to a file here } On my PDA im doing code like this: try { //Calling my webservice here } catch { if the webservice fails the user gets a message and i can see the error in the log file } Now, my question is. What happens if writing to my logfile fails? What i would like to happen is that i can tell the user to contact me, so that i can take action on the issues. Since the logfile is my only way to see that errors has been generated its very important that i can see the errors. So i have tried to make a try catch block inside the catch in the webservice. That should raise an exception if writing to the log file fails. But even though it probably does that, all i can see on my PDA is the same error as when i just wrote to the logfile without using a try catch for that. Am i misunderstanding this?? -- Jimmy Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27069

    - RAS.Dial + WebRequest -> Error? Dear NG, i need to make a RAS.Dial in my App. But due to some circumstances i also need to make a WebRequest to a page. If i call Ras.Dial and then make the WebRequest, the System tries to make another connection on its own and gives me an Error, saying that it cant establish a connection. If i put the Timeout to 5 Seconds the WebRequest also throws a timeout-exception. I wrote a small app which reproduces this issue and which i put at the end of this post. Please remember to fill in your custom connection, user and passwort for the RAS.Dial. If anyone knows the problem and can tell me how to solve it, i will appreciate it.

    - how to create a VB/C# CF helper dll Hi, I program in eVB 3.0 and Pocket PowerBuilder for WinCE devices. I started looking into the CF using VB/C# recently in order to create some a DLL that does some simple things like memory available, battery status, get handheld name, uniques ID, ... I have found many example of how to implement these APIs and have a working VB.net executable. What I would like to do is create a class library (DLL) that would expose these methods to another application. My problem is I don't think I'm doing it properly. I have created a VB.net Class library project, (see below) which compiles fine, and I have created public functions for a couple methods I want exposed. Ideally, I would like to access these methods like a standard API call. I would declare the function as coming from this DLL I wrote with a return of a particalur type. Can this be done? I couldn't find any information on how to explicitly expose the methods other than making their definitions Public. The DLL does not appear to get registered in HKCR to expose the class "Support".

And is there some limit in the number of rows in a CE database ??? Because i'm trying to read in a database which has 2 tables. One with 4 columns and like 80 rows, the second has 4 columns and about 39000 rows. When I try to fill the databse I get the following error : System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeError : The data is truncated so I guess or that i'm using too big of a number to be contained in the int field, or I'm using too big of a string in the nvarchar field ???

    - General access to Windows Directories on PPC, C# Hi all, During installation of my PPC app (C#), I install a custom font file (TTF) into the \Windows\Fonts directory on the PPC. This is achieved in the .INF file by specifying its location as %CE15%, a macro string. However, in my C# code, I hard-code this path in one of my global strings, as follows: public static string strFontPath = @"\Windows\Fonts\"; I have now found that international versions of Windows do not use the English name "Fonts" as a folder name. Are there macro-like strings in C# that I can use to access the specific Font folder without the need to hard-code it? Or is there a more "international" standard of accessing these folders without knowing the local language? In fact, this question will apply to all sub-folders under \Windows. I understand that the word "Windows" is used as a folder for all languages but I am not 100% sure of this. Regards, Neville Lang Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 27024

    - Bridge between eVC++ and .NET Framework I'm working first time in eVC++ while my partner is working in C# .NET. He created some methods to access SQL CE Server, and I wrote an Today Screen Application. I need to call those methods, to get data to show in Today Screen Item. I saw some articles talking about COM interop, but always between .NET and Visual C++, not embedded VC++. My teacher said, maybe the only way is using sockets. It is possible to do that? If it is, how. Or, if is possible more than one, how (or what) is the easiest way to do that. My project ends at 28th May, so thats why the hurry.

    - Compression, Can It Be Done? hi, What i'm doing is grabbing the image from a picturebox, which is getting stored into a memory stream. The problem with getting the bitmap data this way is i can only get 16bit and 24bit images. This would be fine but i then want to send this data over the internet to a remote pc. Which is all do-able except the size of the bitmap data is around 57k!!! which is far far too big! So wot i need to do is compress the data. However i've searched around for the examples of how to do is and i'm not too optimistic that it can be done! The only other info you need to know is that i'm programming in VB.Net CF Thanks, Craig.

Whenever I look to call the "convertToBytes" of on class A I read the "dataobjectname" and cast the object accordingly and call its "convertToBytes" member method I looking to optimise my code and thought that Id replace the field "String - dataobjectname" with "Int16 - dataobjectname" and use an enumeration list" before casting. Will this reduce the amount of memory used in my application? Will there be performance improvements E. Class .. ..

I need to send one file to a specific Mail-Adress. The Application runs on a MDA-I device (with WM2003) so i like to use the build-in modem (GPRS) - but that shouldn't be the applications problem, right? (the system should connect to internet when an application calls it, shouldn't it?) Any ideas? Second Problem: how secure is it to send the file via email? are there any hints about crypting it?

    - Cross Platform Advice Hi, I have a C# CF application that I would like to also execute on regular Windows. It has some API calls in it so I have already #def'd these so they will only apply when running against the CF. With the previous version, I ended up creating new windows forms and then cut and pasting the code from the CF version into the new forms - this was laborious at best and then I ended up with two source bases to fix bugs in etc. If I try to open the CF forms in a windows project, Visual Studio complains alot about the resx files so I assume there is CF specific tags in the form defintions. Has anyone got any advice as to the best way to migrate a C# CF application source base to regular Windows? Even better would be having source code that runs on both platforms so I can just maintain one version.... Many thanks Mike Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 26912

Whenever I try to deploy a VB.NET solution from VS2003 onto my Symbol PPT8800 (CE.NET 4.1) I get following error after just after copying the executable to the device: Error: ConnectionInterrupted from connection object. ---------------------- Done ---------------------- Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped I get this error whenever I Debug->Deploy the application. The device is connected to my development system by means of a serial connection. The PC is running AS 3.7.1. Building, deploying and debugging the same solution to a CE.NET 4.1 MD40600 device works fine. This device is however USB connected. I have tried several options such as: -uninstalling AS 3.7 and installing 3.5 -out various TCP connection settings -Smart device authentication identification (showed connection problem) -Select Windows CE device CPU None of these seem to work. I start to get desperate since it needs to be deployed and debugged on the PPT8800 since that has a scanner build-in. I have followed about any thread but have come up empty so far. Any input in this matter is welcom. Regards. Yves Tag: program automatically starts after cab install Tag: 26906

Can the cab file produced by a .net smart device solution be built in such a
way so that the program automatically starts after it has been installed to
the CE device?

In my knowledge, if you install your application by click .cab file
in File Explorer of PPC, it can not automatically start your application,
because the .cab files is handled by wceload.exe to process the
installation.

You have make your own setup program to install from desktop and
execute your application via RAPI after installation.
