    - SOAP message corrupted Hi, I have a client, a smart device application (Pocket PC 2003), that calls a method of a webservice via GPRS. I developed everything using Visual Studio .Net 2003. Sometimes this method fails and the client gets the following error : [System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException] Server was unable to read request. --> There is an error in XML document (1, 7665). --> The 'soap:Body' start tag on line '1' does not match the end tag of 'soap:B' I could see that this problem does not depend on a particular value that this method receives as a parameter from the client ..... it happens sometimes, and, when it happens, after some repeated attempts the method starts working again ! Anyone experienced such problem ? Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance Stefano Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30145

    - 'Proxy Authentication Required' exception Hi All, I'm facing proxy authentication problem on pocket pc 2003. Following code work fine on desktop, but it throws "proxy Authentication Required" exception on "Pocket PC 2003". I read one thread on google http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=%23Iwod2iTEHA.387 2%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl&rnum=7&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8% 26q%3DProxy%2BAuthentication%2BRequired%2B%2522pocket%2BPC%2522 where Nathan (Microsoft guy) said that there is some bug in .NET CF and it's already fix. I would like to know, does this exception is also related to the bug? If someone has idea/solution to this problem please let me know. HttpWebRequest Request; Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("http://www.google.com")); Request.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user1", "pwd1", "myDomain"); // --------- Code Start ----------------- HttpWebResponse Response; try { Response = Request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse ; MessageBox.Show("It's working"); } catch(Exception e) { MessageBox.Show(e.ToString()); } // --------- Code End ----------------- FYI, my proxy server is configured for DIGEST as well as BASIC. If some client failed to use the DIGEST authentication then it uses BASIC authentication. Thanks, Pankaj Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30142

    - Tab Control. Hi I have used a Tab Control for my application on CE Device using C# .Net. I ran the same application on my PocketPC device and the Tab control position was reversed. That is, it was shown at the bottom. Can that be avoided? I want to maintain the same position of the Tab Control. Or is there any third party Tab control present? This is because I have few more controls on the form other than the Tab Control. So when the Tab Control position is changed, the other controls go above the Tab control and that disturbs the whole UI. Please help. Amit. Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30117

    - Another Beep Api Question (Symbol MC9050 can do) Hi! The Beep API is obviously not supported on mobile devices. Symbol delivers e.g. the MC9050 with CE.Net 4.2 and without sound chip. The MessageBeep API works and produces different beep tones. The PlayWave API produces a default MessageBeep (because of the missing sound chip). Symbol delivers some dlls where I can set the frequency and duration of the beep for good and failed decodes. This is equal to the beep api. Does anyone know if this is a special symbol api call? Or is it possible to access some beep alike api on mobile devices? Kind regards, Benjamin Lukner Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30109

    - MissingMethodException thrown at form startup I am experiencing difficulties with my .NET CF development. I have tried searching online but I have not found solution. I am developing in VS.NET/VB and have installed .NET Utillities v1.1. My target platform is a Symbol PPT8800 (ARM XScale/64MB) device with CE .NET 4.1 (PocketPC). The problem I am experiencing has also been observed on the Emulator. I suspect issues with VS.NET but unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the error. I have read severel articles on P/Invoke and related. Here goes: I have a project which uses dlls written in eVC3.0. I include declarations to the functions exactly as I did priviously in eVB3.0. I run my application, and it works fine. Dlls are called and functionality is as intended. I write some more code (fx add some controls or write some functions) and then when I run the application I get the Missing Method Exception. When I roll back the problem persists. So I start an entirely new project with one windows form and includes code on the onload event to display a messagebox. If I place the Messagebox.show inside a try catch the Missing Methog Exception occurres. If I ommit the try catch no exception is thrown. I have tried alot of approches to get development back on track like restarting VS.NET, but it only helps some times. I have also tried restarting the XP workstation which didnt help. The device was cold/hard booted with no result. What seems to be working keeping to try to get a Hello World application to run on the device. When a simple application, which includes try/catch, can run on the device or emulator the more complex application using native dlls will work with unchanged code. This is so strange to me and takes up a lot of time each time it occurres. I cannot figure out what triggers the MissingMethodException since my code will run some times and other times it will not. Here is an example of a declaration: Declare Sub StartComm Lib "PHIComm.dll" (ByVal nCommLogLevel As Integer) I have tried converting it to: <DllImport("PHIComm.dll")> _ Public Function StartComm(ByVal nCommLogLevel As Short) End Function with no better result. For now I try to ignore the exception and just get more done when VS.NET allows me to. -- Frederik Jensen, Judex Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30091

    - OpenNETCF connection manager problem Hi everybody, In my application I use connection manager to dial a connection created via code, calling the guid of a destination also created via code; the steps are the following - Create new Ras entry (e.g. NokiaGPRS) - Create new Destination entry (e.g. GPRS) - Bind the connection with the destination - ConnectionManager.Connect(GPRS.guid) Everything works fine, the connection is established, but if I do an httpwebrequest or I try to open the web browser, I can't browse!! and also the call to the method ConnectionManager.Disconnect(handle of the connection just established) has no effect! If I call DNS resolve instead, everything works fine. I can't connect to the "default internet setting" destination, because I have to be able to choose between di8fferent connecitons, like GPRS or UMTS, and the only way to do this is using OpenNETCF connection managers is to bind them to different destinations. I'm using HP iPaq 5550, pocket pc 2003, connecting to a nokia 6310i GPRS via bluetooth. How can I solve this problem? I need to do everything via code, it's too much easy to ceate connections via pocket pc GUI :( Thanks for your answers Francesco Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30071

    - How to code a Scrollable Panel Control ??? To all I've posted a similar post earlier. From the last post, I knew that .NETCF doesn't support scrollable panes to Panel and many other controls (except TextBox, ComboBox) To make the Panel "Scrollable", you'll need to customize it with a VScroll Control (ie. you need to write code to simulate changes in the VScroll control and then move the contents of the Panel Control up or down.... quite complicated, but workable) The problem is that I need lots of such "Controls" in my App, so is it more practical to code that "Control" into some User-Controls (eg. OCX objects, so that it's reusable) If so, any help or guide on this topic ?? The contents of the "Control" should be dynamic (at least I should have the rights to alter its contents.... a complicated matter...) Thanks!

    - Use of an Inf file when manually installing. Sometime ado I created my own RAPI application on the PC to install my PPC applcation on the PPC. I use an XML file of my own to tell my installation program how and where to install my files. I use WCELoad from within the install program to install the Compact Framework and/or SQL Server CAB files. My problem is that I need to install the program onto a WM 2003 SE device and hence I require an INF file to get rid of the Legacy Application Installation warning message. That is, I need an INF file with the Buildmax=0xE0000000 line in it. Can anyone tell me what name to give the INF file and where it should be installed to so that the WCELoad program does not give the warning messages when it installs SQL Server etc? John.

    - Toolbar buttons and WM 2003SE I have a Windows Mobile 2003 application (Pocket PC) that works fine in WM2003 but in Second Edition, the buttons do not show on the toolbar. This happens with a real device (Dell X30) and in the WWE PPC 2003 SE - SDK Emulator. To try to find where the problem is, I created a VERY simple test application and that shows the same problem. I created a PPC Smart Device application, dropped on a menu and created just a File menu with Exit on it. I dropped on a TooBar and an ImageList. I added two simple 16x16 Bitmap images to the ImageList. Bitmaps were created with VS.Net I set the ImageList for the Toolbar to this ImageList. I add two buttons to the Toolbar and set their Image Indexes to 0 and 1. The two buttons show up correctly next to the menu at design time. When I run the program in the emulator, neither button appears on the toolbar. I see a grey area next to the menu and if I click in the grey area where the buttons should be, I see a while square where the buttons should be. Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can solve it? John. Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30041

    - ActiveControl - Cut Copy Paste - Improvement I'm trying to create - what I thought was a simple Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo Contextmenu - that I could use. The menu is easy to create - but the functions - seem very difficult to pull off in the CompactFramework. Correct me in I'm wrong - but it would be a lot easier - if I could call the activecontrol - but from what I've read that is not available. So I've come up with the following crude code. It works - but the question is - how can I make it simpler. So I do not have to hardcode all of the textboxes - one by one? In other words, how can I count up all the textboxes on the form - and then iterate through all of them - until it is done with the last one? Or how could I call a control (like a textbox) - but with a variable name. Like call Textbox(var).text - so I could loop through them all? Here's the crude code: Private Sub ContextMenu1_Popup(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenu1.Popup 'Highlights all text as soon as the contextmenu is pressed If TextBox1.Focused = True Then TextBox1.SelectAll() ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True Then TextBox2.SelectAll() End If End Sub Private Sub MenuItem4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem4.Click 'Cuts the text - actually copies then just clears out the textbox If TextBox1.Focused = True Then Clipboard.SetClipboardText(TextBox1.Text) TextBox1.Text = "" ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True Then Clipboard.SetClipboardText(TextBox2.Text) TextBox2.Text = "" End If End Sub Private Sub MenuItem5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem5.Click 'Pastes the text in the Clipboard in the respective textbox If TextBox1.Focused = True Then TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetClipboardText() ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True Then TextBox2.Text = Clipboard.GetClipboardText() End If End Sub Private Sub MenuItem7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem7.Click 'Undo a cut If TextBox1.Focused = True And TextBox1.Text = "" Then TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetClipboardText() ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True And TextBox2.Text = "" Then TextBox2.Text = Clipboard.GetClipboardText() End If End Sub Private Sub MenuItem6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem6.Click 'Copies the text but does not blank out the textbox like the cut command If TextBox1.Focused = True Then Clipboard.SetClipboardText(TextBox1.Text) ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True Then Clipboard.SetClipboardText(TextBox2.Text) End If End Sub Tag: How to view component designer?

    - Writing an auto-update applet I am trying to design an auto-update applet for my Pocket PC application and I have hit two distinct problems that I would love some help with: First off, I _thought_ that when the CLR was trying to resolve a reference to an assembly, it only looked at the major.minor of the assembly's version number. All my assmblies use 1.0.* as the version info. When I recompile just one of the assemblies and copy it onto my device, I get a TypeLoadException because the application is still trying to bind to the old version of the assembly. For example: Old SqlCE_DAL.DLL: 1.0.1630.0 New SqlCE_DAL.DLL: 1.0.1632.0 When I run the application it craps out indicating that it failed to load the old 1.0.1630 version. I would have expected the runtime to pick up the newer 1.0.1632 version because the major and minor are still the same. Secondly, how can I determine the correct processor type to download to the PocketPC? I want to be able to download processor specific DLLs, such as the SqlCe hotfix which comes in different processor flavours. In the OpenNETCF.Win32.Core.GetSystemInfo() I can retrieve a bunch of information about the processor type, but I notice that there is no combination of properties that I can piece together into 'ARM4'. Alternatively, does anyone know of an auto-update walkthrough on the web? Thanks everyone, Richard. Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30013

    - Access localized strings from within a module ... I am stumped, even after reading all applicable posts in this newsgroup. I understand how to 'localize' the text in the various form objects (ie. buttons, menus, etc..). You simply set 'localizable' on the form to true, and then choose the language. I've been successful in using resources.getstring to obtain localized text that I have added to my form's resource file. When the program is run, the correct text is retrieved based on the devices regional language setting. My question is this: In my various modules and classes I also need to localize certain text (ie. Messageboxes, variables, etc..). Into what resource file do I put this localized text so that the correct text is retrieved based on regional settings as well? I hope I've made sense. I look forward to any help you can provide. Terry Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 30008

    - Help me create the MSI Hello, I've just finished making the application and I have a couple of questions: 1) If I'm making an app that is only for pocket pc 2002 and above.... should I develop the app using the POCKET PC or WINDOWS CE option (from the create project screen) in VS .NET 2003. (For Future reference). 2) If i'm developing the app using the Windows CE (not Pocket PC) the screen size is be default the size of a Windows CE .NET 4.2 device.... how can set the screen size to be that of a pocket pc device MSI Bit: 3) I've created my application using the Windows CE .NET option. Now its made plenty of cabs for me. I dont know which one to deploy for which device. I only want users of Pocket PC (Phone Edition) to be able to install the app. Which cabs should I choose (PPC or WCE4) and for which processors (All / ARM / ARM4v .....) 4) I tried creating an MSI (using the method described in MSDN) it compiled fine but when I try to install it, it says the Application Manager could not install the application on your device due to an invalid installation file. 5) When I installed the MSI, it installed fine (on the desktop) except it didnt create a Setup file on the application directory of the desktop. What if the user wants to repair / reinstall the software. 6) When creating the custominstaller.... is there anyway I can prompt the user to assign hardware buttons to my application, in the after_installation function ? Well.... thats a lot..... But any questions answered would be much appreciated. And thanks to everyone whos helped my make my first application successfully.

    - Debugging Device Control Hello. I've created a custom device control for use in compact framework applications. If I understand everything correctly, I need to create a design time version and a run time version. I'm fine w/ all of that. I have a version that loads into the toolbox and a version that gets copied over to the emulator and displays as it should. Problem is, I can't seem to get into the dll for debugging. I set breakponts and I get the message on the breakpoint that states that the "No symbols have loaded". I have my sample CF app and my custom control in the same solution. You would think it would step into the code for the dll just as it does in a regular Windows Forms application. Apparently, the .pdb file needs to be put in a specific location and/or I need to set a reference to the debug/runtime version of the dll. Does anyone have any ideas as to which dll I need to set a reference to and/or which directory I should put my .pdb file? Thanks Herb Stevenson Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 29999

    - Shared SQLCECommand Object Hi All This is in relation to my post on multiple DataAdapters, and is cross-posted as both groups have relevence. I have one class of shared functions, subs and variables (variables are private). The idea is so that I have one class available to my whole application without the need for multiple instances. All database calls ensure connection object is closed in the Finally segment of my Try-Catches. For those that have not read my other post I have been experiencing a SQLCE data file sharing violation when updating tables (update on one table works, update on next table doesn't). What I was wondering if anyone could expand upon is: If Class1 makes a call to SharedDataClass and uses 'AddOrderHeader' (which then closes the database connection) and then Class2 makes a call to SharedDataClass and uses 'AddOrderDetail' is there any chance that the connection object is running in 2 threads (my code does not programaticly use threading)? I ask this as my Main form uses the DataAccessClass for retrieval and this works. My order header class uses the DataAccessClass for insert and select and this works. My OrderDetailClass uses the DataAccessClass and consistently fails to insert/update (file share violation occurs on ConnectionObject.Open, but no error occurs if I attempt to close it {connection state is 'closed in command window}). I used to use adapters, but believing they were the root of my issues I've taken them out, but the problem remains. As I've been working with databases in the past, I'm pretty sure my code is good - especially as Brad Syputa[MS] didn't say there was anything obviously wrong with it (see other post). This 'SHARED' angle is the only one I have left. Would appricate any help as with out full DB operation I'm in the myre... Many thanks. Paul Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 29968

    - Univeristy of Plymouth Computing Industry Perception Study First of all, can I reassure you that this posting is NOT spam and not market research. Please feel free to email me at the address below to check/validate this message prior to doing the survey if you wish. I'm doing a piece of research looking at industry perceptions of computing graduates. The motivation behind this work is that I know a lots of academics who claim to know what industry wants, and lots of people in the industry who tell me that academics have no idea what it is like to work in the real world, but no-one seems to talk across the "great divide". So, I thought the probably the best way to assess industry perception was to ask people! For part of this research I wish to carry out a small survey to measure attitude by those who work in industry and have dealings with or work with computing graduates and also recent computing graduates who are now working in industry. If you can help, can you have a look at the survey at: http://ted.see.plymouth.ac.uk/andyhandouts/surveys/industrysurvey.aspx Could you also pass it on to anyone else you work with/know who might like to contribute to the survey.

    - Anyone know of this issue ??? Hi, I've been developing on an Ipaq 3870 with Pocket Pc 2002 Premium OS... Now I also bought an Toshiba E750 and a Fujitsu Siemens Loox 610. Both have Pocket PC 2003 installed... The Ipaq tells me the following : Microsoft Pocket PC Version 3.0.11171 (build 11178) The Toshiba : Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.1081(build 13100) For developing software I've been using the Visual Studio .Net 2003. My problem is that while debugging an application while connected to the pc I get the following message : the remote connection to the device has been lost. Please verify the device connection and restart debugging. This only happens when I have one of the two Pocket PC 2003 devices connected. The Ipaq works fine. It goes unsaid that while debugging the devices are still physicall connected, so checking the connection is unnecessary. Is this some known bug of some kind, or has anyone experienced the same problem ? Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 29956

    - Realtime threads using .NET CF? Anyone? Is it possible to use the realtime subsystem of CE.NET to make realtime managed threads? I'd very much like to have code running C# do something at extremely regular intervals (40 ms, to be precise, and CE.NET will do this nicely), but my understanding is that this is not supported by the .NET CF out of the box. Is there any way to make it work anyway? Will support come in .NET CF 2.0? I understand the difficulties of using GC and realtime threads at the same time, but I'd really like this to work. We have a largish application framework for measuring and control for the standard framework on WXP(E), and we'd like to port this to .NET CF on CE.NET and use it for controlling industrial equipment, and use the realtime features of CE.NET at the same time. Are we asking for too much? Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 29952

    - Make messageBox dissapear straight after Yes/No Kinda difficult to explain the problem. Basically I'm using the signatureCapture from HoodCanalSystems. It captures the signature by capturing the part of the screen where the signature control is located. This means that when I have a MessageBox on top of that signatureControl, the MessageBox will be captured as well. You're in with me so far? Good:) so, this is my problem : I ask for confirmation from the user with a MessageBox Yes/No if no email address was entered. If the user clicks Yes then it should save the signature. It does it fine, the only problem is that the MessageBox does not dissapear straight away. I.e. it's still on the screen when the signature is being saved (i checked it out in debug mode). Is there any way to refresh the screen or make that MessageBox go away as soon as the user clicked either Yes or No. I.e. I don't want to wait until the end of the method for the MessageBox to dissapear. Thanks ! jez Tag: How to view component designer? Tag: 29940

    - NetworkCredentials & Authentication Modules for WebProxy consumption Scenario: Accessing an Internet resource through a local WebProxy (ISA 2000) that requires authentication. Current Findings: Although not officially accepted (to my knowledge), it seems that there is a bug in the current CF implementation (including SP 2) that requires the assignment of the NetworkCredentials for the local WebProxy to the actual HttpWebRequest.Credentials property. (I can only suspect that this is due to the fact that CredentialCache is not supported) This technique seems to be working fine as long as the actual requested Internet resource does not require authentication and that the local WebProxy will accept BASIC authentication. By examining the AuthenticationManager.RegisteredModules enumeration, it lists both the BASIC and DIGEST authentication modules but I still cant get the DIGEST to work. Furthermore, what if INTEGRATED authentication is required? I am currently contemplating about implementing a custom authentication module to provide INTEGRATED authentication. Is this possible? and if true, where can I find more information about the necessary encoding scheme? I would greatly appreciate any comments, especially from people with close ties to Microsoft that could verify the accuracy or inaccuracy of my findings. Tag: How to view component designer?

I have created a 'smart device appication" project. (C#)
and added a component class.
I expected the component designer shows,
but I couldn't see. And there is no menu item
like 'view designer' in the context menu in the solution explorer.

In a windows application project, VS showed me
the compoent designer, when I added a component
class with the exactly same source code. (copy & paste)

I wanna know whether this is a bug. Or I can do some manual jobs.
Thanks~

Thanks, Mark.

Then, do smart device application developers put the code manually in
general?
or do they use some other techniques?
