 - Another case of "dllhell" Hello, we have a solution with about 10 single projects included in VS .NET using C#. There are a lot of links to refered dlls. For every developer in our company these settings must be done again, because the links vanish with error or link the wrong dll at startup (for example debug/release version, wrong path). Sometimes the links getting wrong during develop phase. VS seems to load the first dll version that can be found, but I can see no rule in this behavior. What are the rules? What is the right way to inlcude these links in PPC projects? (Not with GAC, because we are developing a single program) greetings Roland Hochmann Tag: Main form doesn't appear if there's an exception before it shows Tag: 92673

 - wm2003 standard SDK Bluetooth query Hi All Ive developed an application which controls bluetooth in a simple way. on/discoverable/off. This works perfectly on most pocketpc phone edition devices such as the imate II. However on an svp m2000 the standard api does not appear to do anything. I knocked up a simple test app that does nothing else but the bluetooth control via buttons using plain win32 code and still nothing. Is there a way around this? Any info would be appreciated.

 - Windows Mobile 2003 SE VGA Screen Bug? Hi, I have a problem and I need your help. I post it again. It seems that the MFC has some problems (or bugs) with VGA screen. I guess some message is not called somehow. This problem only has been occured in VGA mode (QVGA works fine). I tested both on WM 2003 SE emulator and iPAQ hx4700 I get wrong client size with GetClientRect in OnInitialUpdate event. I seems that it's not the only one problem and I found another problem (refer bug2.jpg). I upload a sample test source if you want to try. http://mobian.cafe24.com/bug/vgatest.zip I also captured some screen shots. http://mobian.cafe24.com/bug/bug1.jpg http://mobian.cafe24.com/bug/bug2.jpg To get a bug in bug2.jpg. Start the test program, Click Help->About. The bug shows only once. Next time you calls, It's just FINE! Please, tell me how to work around this bug. BTW. how to capture screen images? "Remote zoomin" does not work properly with VGA screen. I get squeezed QVGA images. ActiveSync Remote Display also has the same problem.

 - Transferring cdb table from Pocket PC 2003 to MS SqlServer We just switched from Access to SqlServer 2003 on the Desktop. When we call the adofilter.dll function DeviceToDesktop with overwrite, the table is created and populated, but we get "error 2146824447 An error has occurred retrieving information from the target database. The destination table may already exist on the desktop and Overwrite was set to False, or Overwrite was set to True but the table is not allowed to be overwritten. A log file may also display."

 - How to set MTU for GPRS Line I have a project that use SQL Server 2000 CE Edition 2.0(SQLCE), and PocketPc 2003. Communication is GPRS. Sometimes when I run a merge replication, the merge wants to upload a lot of data. I have traced the comunication that happends in the network, for one of the PocketPCs. I can se that the SQLCE wants to send about 192000 bytes. It send the data in 32768 blocks. With a packet sniffer, I can see that each TCP/IP packet has a total length of 1514 bytes. I can see that a MTU of 1500, is used. At the server I also monitor the IP trafic. There I can see that almost every IP packet has checksum error, and is thrown away. My merge replication fails after 5-8 minutes with an error: 80072eff, "Http send request failed." The only way to get the merge to work again, is to put the PocketPC in the cradle, and do the merge through a good network like ADSL or Lan. Then everything works fine again, until the merge needs to upload a lot of data again. My questions is: - Is it possible to change the MTU for the Cellular line/ Tcpip? - Is there some other settings I can change to make the communication more stable? (GPRS) I have found these keys in registry: HKLM\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\TcpIp\ HKLM\Comm\TcpIp\Parms\ Is it on these keys I can add something?

 - How to emulate a pure win32 WCE App? I'm new to WCE but I'm going to develop an application with PC/104 board in a few months. I've nearly chosen the target board (that will provide the SDK and a WCE image so as to make things easier), and I'd like to develop a demo without having the target.

 - Can't open IR port. I am having an issue opening the com port to use Infrared (IR) on my PPC. So I downloaded OpenNETCF IR sample (SerialCSharp). Everything compiles fine.

 - Stop the madness - please help? Hi I am completely new to Mobile Development. It has always intrigued me though and I have decided that it is time that I give it a try. So I have come up with what I would see as a simple little application that if I was to do in VB or C# could probable knock up in a few hours. How ever my biggest hurdle so far has been trying to get started. There just seems like so many different things that are needed. What I need really is some direction to stop the madness, and put some order to the information that is just jumbled round in my head. My planed application will need to store data in a relational manner. So - Add, Edit and Deleting is required. I have an XDA2 with Windows Mobile 2003. I plan to develop my application in C# and use SQL CE to store the data. I have installed Dot.Net on my Machine and I have doe a simple Hello world application and tested it in the emulator. I know that SQL CE is based in the JET database design but how do you set it up and use it. The stuff I have read is confusing me really. It says that you need a Tool kit, IIS and SQL Server 2000 SP1 or greater just to work. That sounds to me like a lot of stuff. I have XP Professional with IIS, Dot.Net Professional and SQL Server 2000. I will install the Service pack tonight. I think I have installed the correct tool kit. I also installed the SQL CE Development and Server tools. I still am at a loss as to what to do next in normal application development to obvious thing is build the database. But using what? There doesnâ??t seem to be a development environment for SQL CE. So if some one could write a list of the basic step by step procedures that a developer would go through to setup a development environment, and the applications that would be used to develop a simple database driver windows mobile application. And the process that I would go through to test the application. Like should I use the emulators till I get it working then test it on my XDA or do I need both. Also does the CE Database get copied to the emulator image. Thanks for any help. -- Thanks Heaps Ian Tag: Main form doesn't appear if there's an exception before it shows Tag: 92582

 - Pocket PC and Smartphone app in one executable Hello, Is the possible to have the same executable for both Smartphone and Pocket PC? If it is possible, how do you do it? do you isolate the platform specific functions in separate DLL? Or is there a runtime flag that I can check for to know if it is smartphone or PPC platform?

 - Save a Var without DB Hi, I have some variable that need to let user enter, this variable will then tell system where to retrieve the database. So, i can not save the variable on the database, cos the system will have to read the variable first, then only decide where to retrieve the database. I just wonder if there is a way to able to let user to enter the variable, and save all these variable at a format (encryption format). so next time if the user do not need to key in the information again.

 - detecting memory leaks Hello all - I recently started on a bigger win ce project, and as of now, I don't really know a good and effective way to detect memory leaks, and how to track them down (i.e. where they're stemming from). Maybe some of you more experienced EVC gurus could help me (as well as almost every other developer on this list) out? Are there ways of tracking down memory leaks in EVC++ 4.0? If so, I'd love to get some insight on how to start doing this, because there are obvious leaks here, but I just don't know where to begin. Thanks very much in advance! kurt Tag: Main form doesn't appear if there's an exception before it shows Tag: 92546

 - Deployment and Volatile memory Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2003 to write a program for a HP iPAQ. When ever I run it from the IDE, it copys the program to the PDA under My Device\Program Files\XYZ\XYZ.exe where XYZ is the name of my project. I thought this was the correct place to put it until someone reseated the battery and the program was gone. Where is the correct place to put programs so that they are in non volatile memory.

As part of pocketpc application startup I load several files into memory and
test them for validity. All the code is protected by try/catch blocks.
Unfortunately, even with this protection, my main form fails to display.
Any ideas please.

Have you explicitly called Show of BringToFront in the catch blocks?
