    - Malicious script.. Nonsense? I've been trying to instal the Pocket PC SDK on top of my Visual Studio.NET 2003, and am getting this message from norton antivirus: "alert: Malicioius script detected" It names the script:"C:\WINDOWS\System32 \Platman_install.vbs"... I haven't had the nerve to say go ahead and run it, but then I don't think I have a successful install as yet either. Recommendations? thanks Tag: XDA and SQL CE Tag: 72972

    - HowTo fetch a file via HTTP when using 'https' in the address. I use the following code successfully to fetch a file via HTTP. However, if I attempt to fetch from an https address (Secure Connection) it fails with the following error message after about 60 seconds: "A connection with the server could not be established". Is there an additional call I need to make, or change to the existing code to allow the https file fetch?

    - Declaring .NET dllimport for CreateProcess API Anybody know what the right .NET Compact Framework dllimport signature is to call into this API from C#? The correct marshalling has me stumped. Are these APIs already documentated somewhere for C# developers? The API definition is: CreateProcess( LPCWSTR pszImageName, LPCWSTR pszCmdLine, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES psaProcess, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES psaThread, BOOL fInheritHandles, DWORD fdwCreate, PVOID pvEnvironment, LPWSTR pszCurDir, LPSTARTUPINFOW psiStartInfo, LPPROCESS_INFORMATION pProcInfo ); -- Tim Johnson High Point Software www.high-point.com (503) 312-8625 Tag: XDA and SQL CE Tag: 72961

    - Looking for the Remote Desktop Control Interface for PocketPC 2003 The IMsTscAxEvents interface in Remote Desktop ActiveX Control has some useful notification methods I'd like to use on PocketPC 2003. On the desktop, the Remote Desktop ActiveX Control is provided with Windows XP, and if you have Windows 2000 or 98 you can get it from Microsoft's download center by searching for "Remote Desktop ActiveX Control". It's named tswebsetup.exe. MSDN says that CE 4.0 implements this interface also, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcerdp/html/cerefimstscaxeventsinterface.asp It is located in the link library, mstsax.lib, or the activex control, mstscax.dll. MSDN also says you need to set the SYSGEN parameters for CE 4.2 to include the remote desktop DLL and base components: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceoak40/html/coconremotedesktopprotocolimplementationconsiderations.asp Is the RDP interface library or the DLL available for PocketPC 2003, outside of CE platform builder ? I know PPC 2003 and CE 4.2 are not the same, but PPC 2003 added some functionality PPC 2002 didn't have. Warren Kinninger Tag: XDA and SQL CE Tag: 72932

The API description indicates LR_LOADFROMFILE is indeed valid and it says it is defined in winuser.h but when I scan my system for winuser.h files containing 'LR_LOADFROMFILE' the only ones I find are associated with VC++ 6.0. The ones associated with evc++ 3.0 do not define this symbol. I googled the web for information but other than some Japanese sites I can't translate, I found nothing. Anyone know what's going on?

    - Leak in Pocket IE using ATL control? I am developing an ActiveX control using ATL. The control is to be embedded on an HTML page. The control is used for displaying images and uses the IBrowser interface to navigate to other pages. Everything works great except that the Pocket IE's memory usage grows unacceptably (> 16K) after each refresh of the page containing the control. I have tried the same code on both 2002 and 2003 and the results are identical. I have also seen several KB articles about leaks in Pocket IE, but all the "fixes" seem to require using Platform Builder. Does anyone know of any problems with ATL controls in Pocket IE?

    - Multi Threads and messages boxes Hi all I have an evc4 application that runs on two/three threads. The main one and the 'scanning' one and a printing one The 'scanning' thread sits waiting for data from the serial port and when it gets some it checks is the data 'correct' and if it is save/display if not show an error. This all works fine. There is a loop in the thread which runs 'forever' untill a global var is change to false by the main thread. I now whish to ask a question and await user response before proceding. At the moment this MessageBox is 'buried' deep in the scanning loop. I've also tried it 'outside' the scanning loop but within that scanning thread.Restarting the scanning loop after the question has been answered. The problem is that when the question is on the screen if data comes in on the port it is ignored ... fair enough this is ok .... but after the loop has restarted the data is still 'ignored' ? Has anyone else done any work with WaitCommEvent and messageboxes ? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong as I am new to C programming. I've paseted my readthread code at the base of this message incase it helps explain things ! ;) One important point if NO data is received whilst the messagebox is onscreen then after the question has been answered the program works correctly. Thanks in advance Andrew Kennard ---- Code below ---- //====================================================================== // ReadThread - Receives characters from the serial port // int ReadThread (PVOID pArg) { int cBytes,i; char szText[TEXTSIZE]; char LastCardSwipe[TEXTSIZE]; TCHAR szTemp[100]; DWORD dwMask,dwLastError, dwTStat; COMSTAT PortStat; int iCardOK; // 0 = good 1+ = 'error' states TCHAR szDisplayText[100]; BOOL bWaitforDataonPort=true; HWND hWnd=(HWND)pArg; memset(LastCardSwipe, 0, TEXTSIZE); g_fScanforBadge=true; while (g_fScanforBadge){ while (bWaitforDataonPort){ if (WaitCommEvent(hComPort,&dwMask,0)){ switch (dwMask){ case EV_RXCHAR: if(ClearCommError(hComPort,&dwLastError,&PortStat)){ if (PortStat.cbInQue>0){ memset(szText, 0, TEXTSIZE); cBytes=0; if (ReadFile(hComPort,szText,PortStat.cbInQue,(LPDWORD)&cBytes,0)){ if (cBytes>0){ strcat(LastCardSwipe,szText); if (szText[cBytes-1]==13){ iCardOK=SplitData(LastCardSwipe); if (iCardOK==0){ bWaitforDataonPort=false; //end inner loop } else{ if (iCardOK==1) g_MainPagePrompts[0].setfieldText(TEXT("BAD SWIPE...TRY AGAIN")); else g_MainPagePrompts[0].setfieldText(TEXT("BAD SWIPE...TRY AGAIN2")); g_MainPagePrompts[0].setfieldForeColour(AGK_RED); InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,FALSE); // force WM_paint UpdateWindow(hWnd); // force WM_paint memset(LastCardSwipe, 0, TEXTSIZE); } } } } } } break; case EV_ERR: MessageBox(hWnd,TEXT("Read Error"),NULL,MB_OK); break; } } }//bWaitforDataonPort if (wcsstr(g_IDsAllowed,g_MagFields[2])==NULL) { int iOverrideAnswer; iOverrideAnswer=MessageBox(hWnd,TEXT("The ID letter for the card swiped is NOT valid. Do you wish to allow them entry ?"),TEXT("Invalid ID Letter"),MB_YESNO); if (iOverrideAnswer==IDYES) { SaveDataandUpdateCounts(hWnd); memset(LastCardSwipe, 0, TEXTSIZE); } else { g_MainPagePrompts[0].setfieldText(TEXT("NO ENTRY ! ..

    - XML between SQL Server and SQL Server CE over Internet We're going to have PocketPCs out in the field, connected to the server at HQ over the internet through GPRS. It is assumed that they'll be connected only some of the time, so each has a client VB.NET app and SQL Server CE. When some important configuration data (the structure of a survey) - held in the central SQL Server - is modified at HQ, I want those changes to be transmitted to the PocketPCs by XML. I don't want to use replication or RDA, because we're committed to sending the results back in XML format. How can this be implemented? I want the PocketPCs to receive XML with the survey structure. At that point I can get it into the local SQL Server CE database - I reckon it would be quicker during the bulk of the application's stuff to use a database instead of messing around with accessing XML data at run-time. But when the chages are made at the server, how can this trigger the transmission of the XML, and what happens if some of the PocketPCs are not connected? Can I do it so that they'll queue until the devices come online? Well, thankis for reading all that - hope somebody can point me in the right direction. Tag: XDA and SQL CE Tag: 72844

Are using an XDA II (Pocket PC) in some of our
development. SQL CE 2000 is also used in the application
being developed. We are facing a so called native
exception from last two months.

Although we found that this problem (seems to) appears
when the code with SQL is being executed by your CLR (as
far as we are able to investigate) we are not able to fix
it since it appears very sporadically/randomly.

Please help me to understand more about this native
exception and advice me what traces/code you would like
(from me) to anlayse the problem.
