    - Scripting in .net CF Is it possible to evaluate expressions in VB.Net / VC#.net in the .net Compact Framework? We have a requirement to evaluate user-defined expressions on PocketPC devices. The expressions would contain references to methods/properties that are defined as well as built-in methods/properties. We currently do this with an eVB application with a home-grown expression evaluation dll and we need to port this application over to .net CF. Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Robert Regnell Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 20021

    - Quick Threads question Hi al Could someone tell me what they think of this- I want to have two threads running; one on the main application thread and one as a background worker thread. If I spawn the worker thread from the main application thread as shown below, where is the best place to put the code for the main application thread? I could fire it from a timer I guess but I want this code to run in a constant loop, and to start immediately. It needs no interaction from the user. Can I put the code at the bottom of the New() method, after spawning the worker, as shown below or will this cause problems Thanks for any hel And Public Sub New( MyBase.New( Tr 'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer InitializeComponent( Catch ex As Exceptio Sto End Tr Me.thr_one = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf Me.Thread_one) closeRequested = Fals controlInvoker = New ControlInvoker(Me Me.thr_one.Priority = ThreadPriority.AboveNorma Me.thr_one.Start( Me.threadRunning = Tru While Not (end_requested ' <<<<<<<< rest of code, to process in a loop >>>>>>>>> Loo End Sub Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 20014

    - Some basic questions on using threads. Hi. I have 3 questions. For the short version: skip to the end of the post For those of you who has some time over: Here comes the long version of the questions, with some background. Iâ??ve done a program that sends a small message on the comport and then receives a large chunk of data. When Iâ??ve received my data I want to let the user start fiddling with it. But at the same time Iâ??d like to start a little code running in the background. This new code should send 4 small messages/second on the comport and receive a value each time, which Iâ??d like to display to the user while heâ??s fiddling with the other data. This seems to me like a task for multiple threads, right? (Havenâ??t used â??em beforeâ?¦) Since I need other tasks to run at the same time, I guess I canâ??t just use a timer. I had an idea of having a thread running a separate class with the background program. The thread could run the code and then sleep for 250 ms. Does that seem like the right way to go about? Although that wouldnâ??t make the 250 ms interval very accurate, since it would depend on the execution time of the code. How would I get the code to start running with exact interval? Another problem I have is that I need to call procedures in other classes. As far as I can understand this demands that the called sub is public and shared, but then I get problems since that sub often refers to instance members of that class (such as controls) and even properties of other instanced classes. I could perhaps try to make everything shared, but that doesnâ??t seem like a good way to solve things. Or is it the only way? This also applies to my â??background codeâ??, since Iâ??d like it to call a procedure in another class (the code handling communication with the comport). But can one do that with a separate thread? Do I need to rewrite that code inside the thread? In short: 1. How to run code at exact intervals (using threads)? 2. Is it possible to somehow use instanced members when calling a sub in another class? 3. Can a thread call procedures outside of its class? Iâ??d be very thankful for some help on any of my questions. /D Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 20011

    - A simple custom control with design support I'm trying to make a Textbox with a FocusColor property...When the focus changes to the control, the backcolor must change automaticly to the color setted by the focusColor property. Very simple, the control works fine when creating it dynamicly from code. My aim is to add design functionality, so I can use it from the Visual Studio .Net toolbox. When I compile my code, no errors are reproted and Visual studio leaves a dll in the release directory. (cdaTextBox.dll) Even making a design time dll succeeded (design.cdaTextBox.dll). To make such a dll, I use the command line compiler csc.exe from within a batch file 'Build.bat'. Csc.exe does not report any errors. But, and this is my problem, when I try to add the control to the toolbox, Visual Studio fires an error: There are no components in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000 \Windows CE\Designer\design.cdaTextBox.dll' That can be placed on the toolbox. Can someone tell me what I have to change to my code to make it working? This is the batchfile code (it runs well): C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe /noconfig /define:NETCFDESIGNTIME /target:library /out:design.cdaTextBox.dll cdaTextBox.cs AssemblyInfo.cs /res:DatAction.Controls.cdaTextBox.bmp /r:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\Designer\System.CF.Design.dll" /r:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\Designer\System.CF.Windows.Forms.dll" /r:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\Designer\System.CF.Drawing.dll" /r:System.Windows.Forms.dll /r:System.Drawing.dll /r:System.dll /r:System.XML.dll /r:System.Data.dll /nowarn:1595 >z.txt This is My C# code: using System; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; using System.ComponentModel; #if NETCFDESIGNTIME [assembly: System.CF.Design.RuntimeAssemblyAttribute("PictureButton, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null")] #endif namespace Company.Controls { class cdaTextBox: System.Windows.Forms.TextBox { #region "Private data members" private System.Drawing.Color mFocusColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue; private System.Drawing.Color mFocusTextColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow; private System.Drawing.Color mOriginalColor; private System.Drawing.Color mOrinalTextColor; #endregion #region "Properties!" #if NETCFDESIGNTIME [ System.ComponentModel.Category("Colours"), System.ComponentModel.Description("This our colours") ] #endif public System.Drawing.Color FocusColor { get { return mFocusColor; } set { mFocusColor=value; } } #if NETCFDESIGNTIME [ System.ComponentModel.Category("Colours"), System.ComponentModel.Description("This our colours") ] #endif public System.Drawing.Color FocusTextColor { get { return mFocusTextColor; } set { mFocusTextColor=value; } } #endregion protected override void OnGotFocus(System.EventArgs e) { mOriginalColor = this.BackColor; mOrinalTextColor = this.ForeColor; this.BackColor = mFocusColor; this.ForeColor = mFocusTextColor; } protected override void OnLostFocus(System.EventArgs e) { this.BackColor = mOriginalColor; this.ForeColor = mOrinalTextColor; } } } Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 20000

    - SQL Server CE Design Question Hi I am writing an application that uses SQL Server CE with replication and C#. I have a few questions about the design of my database. I have created all my lookup tables to use integer identity primary keys and I was trying to use Guids as primary keys for the main tables that get used for adding/deleting records. Originally I had no problem by setting the PK of the table as a guid and no other properties, but this in some respects was not good enough as the replication engine of SQL Server 2000 the added the 'rowguid' column to my tables, making me think whatâ??s the point? I went back and had a look at why and saw the 'rowguid' columns had an default value of newid() and the rowGUID set to true. So I changed my tables to have these properties and everything seemed to work fine until in my app I wanted to add records. Firstly the automatically generated guid is a FK for other tables, so how do I find this value out. I used the cheap method of setting another (non PK) field to an unrealistic value then using the query SELECT * Table WHERE date = 1 or similar. Is there a better way Then after adding the record I need to update it and upon trying that I get the message "Dynamic SQL generation for the UpdateCommand is not supported against a SelectCommand that does not return any key column information". After some reading up on that message, which seems common for any OLE database, I tried adding in the necessary schema so the UpdateCommand will be generated by adding in the PrimaryKey value of the DataTable and then also my using the FillSchema() method of my DataAdapter. What I am really trying to ask is that am I going about this the right way. Since my application is going to be used on many devices I found that using a PK of type integer is not good enough. I then went to GUID's and had luck originally, however SQL Server added the rowguid column. So I changed the properties to what seemed to be correct and now I have a lot of problems. What is the recommended design Thanks In advance for any help! Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19964

    - Agressive disposing Hi, As Pocket PC's are (supposed to be) resource-restricted devices, I thought it would be wise to implement an agressive disposing strategy, i.e. add IDisposable to every class, and call Dispose() on everything. But I don't know exactly HOW agressive I need to be ;-) I.e.: - If I derive from Panel or Form, and a child controls (Me.Controls.Add...), do I need to remove and dispose those as well, or do Panels and Forms somehow dispose of their children themselves? - If I add objects to a Collection, do I need to enumerate over the collection and call Dispose() on every object, or should a Collection.Clear() accomplish the same thing? - If I add a handler (AddHandler obj.event, delegate), do I need to remove the handler myself when I want to dispose of the object? I assumed that all the above would be taken care of automatically by the garbage collector, but some of my objects start threads, and these threads are stopped in their Dispose() method (via a simple stopThreadRequested boolean flag). Yet if I quit my application, these threads appear to still be running, so it looks as if my Dispose() methods aren't called automatically... Regards, Elisa Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19931

    - PPC Power On Screen Hi all, I implemented code to try to turn on the screen in my app, since sometimes devices do not completely wake up when having an app run at a certain time. I did this with some code similar to what Peter provided on OpenNetCF site, attached below. This has worked great on my Ipaq2215, however, I had a user that upgraded PPC2002 to PPC2003 on an Ipaq3900. Apparently this doesn't work, as the app doesn't wake up when launched. I realize that this type of command is not universally supported, but I'd be surprised it didn't work on an Ipaq3900, so was thinking my implementation was wrong.

    - TypeLoadException Hi, I have developed a chess application and I have received 2 complaints: after installing .NET CF SP2 on a PPC 2002 (one is ipaq 1910 the other one I don't know) when they launch the game, they get this error chess.exe TypeLoadException Application::Run+0xf MainForm::Main+0xa I've asked them to install other .NET CF applications and they get the same error, so it seems there is a problem with .NET CF. I've asked them to reinstall SP2, to soft reset the PPC ... nothing. The only solution I can think of is to ask them to do a hard reset, however I wish I could find a less radical solution. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Valentin Iliescu Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19915

    - How to remove PerfCtr entries from Event Viewer? Had .NET development stuff installed but then uninstalled as part of tracking down other problems with system. Now, I get about 10 bitchy entries under Event Viewer>>Application related to CE.NET stuff being unable to find libraries, etc. Have tried a few of the things in the MSKB (running WMI dredger from cmd. line, renaming Library .DLL's) to get this stuff gone, to no avail. Really annoying. Any ideas? Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19914

    - What happened to John Kennedy? (Not JFK - the other one) Hi, all If you've been around the world of Windows CE for any length of time, you've probably encountered John Kennedy. He wrote one of my favourite PPC programs, Pocket Universe, as well as one of my favourite PPC games, TankZone. He started working for Microsoft a couple (?) of years ago, and wrote several instalments of the MSDN 'Two for the Road' column. Now his web site (www.stellarmetrics.com) is dead, and he hasn't written an MSDN column for over 6 months. Anyone know what's become of him? Cheers - rick Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19896

    - How can I update my Emulator for VS.NET 2003 to a recent version? The version of the emulator that installs with my 2003 setup is 4.1.0 and does not have support for storage cards (there is no option for it under the menu in the emulator). I have downloaded the Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 SDK which gave me the 2003 pocket pc images but it did not upgrade my version of the emulator. I need to be able to emulate a storage card for my VS 2003 Compact Framework development. How can I upgrade my version of the emulator to one that supports storage card emulation and can still be launched directly from within Visual Studio 2003?

I am looking to have them push a button on their app and it will zip then email their SQL database to me. The problem is I need to install a default smtp server on their pda so they don't have to enter their own (which will probably be closed off so people can't spam off it). If you have other ideas I would be up for it. I though about FTP but I need to know who they are which email will allow for Thanks Aaron Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19843

    - can you click for good cash Tag: sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB Tag: 19840

can someone confirm that this file is not necessary to run sqlce on a
device?
I am assuming that this file [sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB] is only the query
analyser type tool and that I can run all the sqlce features from my app
without installing it.
Is this correct?

Regards,

éric

That is correct, this is a developer specific package, the SQL Server CE
engine is in a separate installer.
