    - ArgomentException adding control to a form before AsyncCallback Hello :) I've encountered a strange error developing a WinForm program with VS2003, CF1.0 and PPC 2002 emulator... Iv'e build a code like this: In a empty form i request some data from a web service, then i build programmatically a panel, then i add to form with Controls.Add(myPanel). This code works fine. If i use webService async calls, i'm able to retrieve web service data, i build correctly (i think, the code is the same of previous operation!) the panel, but, when i call Controls.Add(myPanel), the program throws ArgumentException in windows.forms.dll. Any user has encountered this problem? Thanks for any response! Tag: search contacts Tag: 61639

    - programmatically insert SMS in inbox i want to intercept SMS messages as they come in. found samples for this. what i want then is to modify this SMS and insert some additional content into it. the user should then be able to view this SMS in the standard Text Messages Inbox application. i've noticed POOM has a notify and notifyanddelete member for message interception. from the documentation it seems i need to use NotifyAndDelete and then somehow reinsert the modified SMS back into the Inbox. any ideas on how i can do this via CF2 on a WM5? thanks.

    - How to connect a headless device without ActiceSync Hi, I want to build a device with platform builder and develop the applications with VS2005. I generated the SDK and find my device in VS2005. But the "manual server" platform manager connection is missing. I found a blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdteam/archive/2005/04/28/413304.aspx) that shows another way. Unfortunately both executables (ConManClient2, CMaccept) stop immediately at the target device. I think I must configure my platform prepared for this. Does anybody had experience with this issue? /Helge Tag: search contacts Tag: 61634

However, when I try to do the same for Smartphone projects, there doesn't seem to be support for Smartphone. Can some one confirm/clarify?

    - C++ and C# calling each other i've been mulling over this for. from what i gather, a more realistic solution to a PPC app in .netcf2 is to have a combination of C# (usually for UI - a lot less coding is involved) and C++ (usually in a DLL of some sort to do the low level stuff). so i've figured out how you can call a C++ dll from C# via P/Invoke. neat! my question is, is there a similar mechanism for a C++ dll to call some C# code? i'm thinking there might be situations where my C++ DLL may do work that is asynchronous and will later post the result back to the C# code. perhaps a window message is a better way to communicate? how do people do this? or is it rare and almost unnecessary for C++ to call C# in practice? i don't want to go down a path of endless nightmares and back-to-the-drawing-board scenarios.

    - VS2005 Perf issues with SmartDevice projects Well after experimenting for a few more days I have narrowed this problem down to it only occuring with SmartDevice projects. It appears to occur as soon as I end a VPN session. I start VS2005 do some development then log into our coorp network with VPN and log out. Immediately after all any SmartDevice project will show these symptoms. I can exit and restart VS2005 but problem remains until I reboot. Help!!! I just installed VS2005 and have noticed that during builds for CompactFramework devices the env. is extremely slow around the PostBuild phase. It sometimes takes 1-2min to build a project. This problem did not exist in the Beta2 release with the same projects and solutions. I have not been able to figure this out. I may need to uninstall R1 and rinstall Beta2 because this performance is really bad. >> >> Any tips. >> >> Thanks Tag: search contacts Tag: 61588

Our App is rather large and demanding, and sometimes the app runs out of memory, usually while doing Sql-stuff. I've looked into VirtualAlloc, but firstly I don't /really/ understand it, and secondly, it seems to makes no difference in our App. Below is an app I whipped up to test memory usage. On my device it runs 39 times, then throws an out of memory exception both with, and without the VirtualAlloc code commented-out. [VB.NET] Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Public Shared Sub Main() Application.Run(New Form1) End Sub <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll")> _ Private Function VirtualAlloc(ByVal lpStartAddr As IntPtr, ByVal size As Integer, ByVal flAllocationType As Integer, ByVal flProtect As Integer) As IntPtr End Function <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll")> _ Private Function GetLastError() As Integer End Function Private MEM_RESERVE As Integer = &H2000 Private MEM_COMMIT As Integer = &H1000 Private PAGE_READWRITE As Integer = &H4 Private PAGE_NOACCESS As Integer = &H1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.Visible = True Application.DoEvents() Dim offset As Integer = 1 'Dim x As IntPtr = Me.VirtualAlloc(Nothing, 2 * 1024 * 1024, MEM_COMMIT Or MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_READWRITE) 'If x.ToString() = "0" Then ' MessageBox.Show(Me.GetLastError().ToString()) 'End If Try While True Dim p As New PictureBox p.Bounds = New Rectangle(offset * 8, offset * 8, 25, 25) p.Image = New Bitmap(500, 700) Me.Text = offset offset += 1 Application.DoEvents() End While Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()) End Try End Sub End Class [/VB.NET] Thanks for reading, and I hope someone is able to help/advise me Tag: search contacts Tag: 61560

    - Help with deceiding on best solution Hello all, I am about to embark on a reasonably large project - I operate an energy management business and need to install remote controls at a large number of my clients sites. My plan is to utilise windows CE devices at the clients sites - they should be low in cost, reliable (as they have no moving parts) and the development process should be relatively straight forward - it should also make the communications to the devices simpler and allow me to extend the functionality well into the future. The devices will have a number of communication options - these include GPRS modem, clients internet connection via wireless of RJ45 - or GPS modem. The area that I still need to finalise is the method of communication and the technology to use. The following will be true 1. Communications will need to be over the internet 2. The internet connection will often use a clients internet connection therefore there will be no ability to have a fixed IP address on the devices 3. It must efficient - if the communication is over GPRS the costs of transmitting data will be high 3. There will be a large number of devices - the system needs to be scalable to 100,000's of devices 4. The remote devices will need to send information to our office 5. We will need to be able to send info to the devices with a very small delay 6. Communications must secure - it will be critical that no one can hi-jack and control the devices I have investigated the new WSE 3 and this sounds like a good option for communication?? It appears to have the security requirements and easily scalable to manage the communications for this many devices - can windows CE take advantage of the security features of WSE 3. Any help from those that may have some experience in these matters would be very appreciated. -- matthew Tag: search contacts Tag: 61542

    - WM_SIZE and WM_SETTINGCHANGE not fired in WinCE.NET Hi to all NG. I'm unable tu understand why in WinCE 4.2 while rotating the screen, the WM_SIZE and/or WM_SETTINGCHANGE messages are not fired from the system (so I can't get the Resize event). In this way I can't understand when redim my form to the new screen size. I've seen that neither Word or Explorer redim theyself (and they are _original_ Microsoft products, so I can think that they are well made). Can be that WinCE isn't designed for real-time screen rotating (but only during CE startup -> once a boot) while Windows Mobile yes? Is this the reason? I can rotate the screen directly from my application, calling the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx. In the MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceshellui5/html/wce50lrfChangeDisplaySettingsEx.asp you can see that calling that API a WM_SETTINGCHANGE must be fired, but I can't get that message neither in my C# app (using Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms) neither in a simple C++ application.

    - Consider app.config remapping of assembly Folks, I have a Smartphone Solution with two Projects: 1) Common References, among others System and System.Windows.Forms 2) Foobar References, among others: Common, System, and System.Windows.Forms The Common Project compiles with no warnings. Foobar, on the other hand, compiles with the following warnings: Consider app.config remapping of assembly "System.Windows.Forms, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac, Retargetable=Yes" from Version "1.0.5000.0" [] to Version "2.0.0.0" [C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\System.Windows.Forms.dll] to solve conflict and get rid of warning. Consider app.config remapping of assembly "System, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac, Retargetable=Yes" from Version "1.0.5000.0" [] to Version "2.0.0.0" [C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\System.dll] to solve conflict and get rid of warning. Each Project is referencing EXACTLY THE SAME DLL (V2.0.0.0). Nothing is referencing V1.0.5000.0 DLLS. In an attempt to fix this, I created new Projects, added the items from the original Projects, re-added the References, and then removed the original Projects from the Solution. The first time I built the Solution there were no problems. Subsequent builds throw the error message. In another attempt to fix this, I created a foobar.exe.config and added this: <assemblyBinding> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="System.Windows.Forms" Culture="neutral" PublicKeyToken="969db8053d3322ac" Retargetable="Yes" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.5000.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="System" Culture="neutral" PublicKeyToken="969db8053d3322ac" Retargetable="Yes" /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.5000.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> This has no affect on the build; the error messages remain. I am at a total loss. Any suggestions are gratefully appreciated. Thanks. Joel Finkel finkel@sd-il.com Tag: search contacts Tag: 61526

    - WM5 Cab problem I have an application that references Ver 1.2 of OpenNetCF. When I create my cab file and install it to a new device it works fine as long as i already installed OpenNetCF. Or at least it works on WM2003. But today I got an Axim x51 with WM5. Now when I try to install my application from a cab file, it wont even copy the files to the directory. It says that it installed correctly, but it doesnt even create the program directory. Ive slowly been deleting things from the cab file to find out what is hanging it up, and when i delete the reference to OpenNetCF it installs fine. Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem. Ive installed OpennetCF. And if i manually create my program directory and copy the files in by hand, the program runs perfect. Its just the cab file that wont deploy when OpennetCF is included in my references. I would hate to have to strip out my opennetCF code, cause its a great tool.

What I would like to be able to do is send requests from the Mobile app to the service, the Mobile app would go to wait state, the Service would execute a threaded query or non-query against a non-SQL Server database, then the service returns information back to the Mobile app. If I can get this working, there would be possibly 30 - 40 mobile devices running simultaneously requesting from the service. Is this something that is possible? If so, where do I need to start as far as research? Thanks, David Tag: search contacts Tag: 61481

    - Developing for Windows Mobile 5.0: State of the art Hi! I am starting development for Windows Mobile 5.0. I have received and intalled the "Windows Mobile 5.0 Developer Evaluation Kit" including Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 2. I have just received the Windows Mobile 5.0 device and it has not .NET CF 2.0 installed... So I am trying to install the up to date version of .NET CF on my device so that I can start developing. While browsing the web for this up to date version I have been confused by the many versions of the .NET Framework available. I would really appreciate it if someone could clarify the situation for me. I have found that the .NET 2.0 and .NET CF 2.0 final are available. However, as I am using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 it seems that I can't use these versions, I have to stick to the .NET 2.0 Beta 2 and .NET CF 2.0 beta 2. Is that correct? Finally, I have seen that Visual Studio 2005 Final has been launced on 11/7. I have been through the license of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 a long ago, and as far as I can remember users must sease using it as soon as the final version is out. Therefore can I still use my Beta 2 version today ? or do I have to order now the final version? Thanks a lot, your clarifications will be useful.

Hello, I want to be able to keep any underlying controls on my ppc application from activating when the user taps the screen to turn on the backlight. Does anyone have any VB code that does this?

    - GPS API I am going through the managed GPS example and trying to convert all the bits to VB.NET but I have a couple of translation problems if anyone can advise: for (int viewIndex = 0; viewIndex < inViewSatellites.Length && found == null; viewIndex++) (no idea what the && found == null bit does) public bool SatellitesInViewValid { get { return (dwValidFields & GPS_VALID_SATELLITES_IN_VIEW) != 0; } } I have translated this as: Public ReadOnly Property SatellitesInViewValid() As Boolean Get Return CType((dwValidFields And GPS_VALID_SATELLITES_IN_VIEW), Boolean) End Get End Property but don't understand what the !=0 is doing???? And finally in a structure there is a property declared as: public int this[int value] How does this translate?? Thanks. Tag: search contacts Tag: 61477

    - kill process & Overflow Exception (VB net) cf 1.1 I'm facing with killing a process by its name. I converted some code found on the net from c# to vb and it works very well except for some pid values. It gives me Overflow exception '---- Private m_ihandle As IntPtr Public th32ProcessID As System.UInt32 Public ReadOnly Property PID() As System.UInt64 Get Return Convert.ToUInt64(th32ProcessID) End Get End Property '... m_ihandle = New IntPtr(Convert.ToInt64(peCurrent.PID)) ' <-- System.OverflowException - OverflowException '---- It's funny because Convert.ToInt32(peCurrent.PID) gives me a "System.OverflowException - OverflowException" so I changed it with Convert.ToInt64(peCurrent.PID) it retrieve 2799898626 - Long The matter seems to be with Intptr constructor but, according to MSDN, It must accept long argument. Has anyone an idea about it? Thanks Fabio Tag: search contacts Tag: 61473

    - Which VS.NET 2005 version to download I'm MSDN Universal Subscriber and switched to Team Edition for Developers in order to download the latest VS.NET 2005 version. What a mess the hellish MSDN Subscription is! I can see Professional Edition 2005 with 10/28/2005 release date and Team System Release Candidate with a newer release date. Which version is the latest stable? That is, MS announced few weeks ago that MSDN Universal Subscribers could download VS.NEt 2005 final version while DVD is shipped to subscribers. I think they talked about Professional edition but..........I would like to hear you, developer's opinion. Thanks. Tag: search contacts Tag: 61463

is there a better way to search for a contact given say a last name, phone
number, email add etc., than to enumerate through
OutlookSession.Contacts.Items one by one???

i have to use native code (FindMatchingContact)??

The ContactCollection exposes a Restrict method which will return a
collection of items matching your query string e.g.

ContactCollection matchingItems = items.Restrict("[FirstName] = "John" AND
[LastName] = "Doe");

The SDK documentation has more details of the supported queries. You can
then enumerate over this specific collection.
