    - Marshaling Value Types I've read that, with the compact framework, MarshalAs is not available and the only automaticly marshaled types when using P/Invoke is: C# C++ === === int int short short bool BYTE char WCHAR I have a UINT32 in C++ and UInt32 in C#. Testing a function call (a .dll supplied by the vendor) in both C++ and C# gives different results when UINT is used. Might be bad code on my part, or might have something to do with the above. This particular book (Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, Microsoft Press, by Wigley and Wheelwright) says that to marshal other value types it must be "performed explicitly in managed code." Now my questions: - I'm wondering if I understand this correctly - would it be technically correct to ask the .dll vendor if they plan to ship a "C#.NET Compact Framework compatible version"? - If they don't and I still want to wrap the .dll, I'm thinking of creating another .dll that does the marshaling, and acts as an intermediary between their .dll and C# - does this idea have merit?

    - VB.NET and ACCESS on an IPAQ I'm new to the VB.NET envoronment and I'm trying to talk to an ACCESS database on an IPAQ. The .NET documentation says I should be able to use OLEDB connections, but they don't appear as a tool when I develop a Smart Device Application, nor can I find an reference for the project that I can add that seems to do it. VB has always talked to ACCESS in previous versions. ACCESS databases automatically synchronises to the IPAQ. I would expect VB.NET to be able to talk to ACCESS on the IPAQ? Am I overlooking something obvious? Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73864

    - USB device dose not work certain PCs I have a USB device was designed on USB 1.1 spec. It works for most of PCs with USB 1 or USB 2 port. But it doesnâ??t work on Compaq Evo N1000c laptop which has USB 2 port. It works on a DELL PC which has USB 2 port. But if I plug my device via a USB2 HUB to the same DELL PC, it doesnâ??t work. My USB driver is not show on the device manager. It blinks. Any idea why I made some changes on control transfer on my device firmware. Now my USB driver is recognized by the Compaq laptop. My client software can run. But it halted very often. I know it is in the â??Pendingâ?? state. It stops at â??KeWaitForSignleObject()â??. At this point, my client dose not responding any more. I have to unplug my USB device and plug it in again to run. Any suggestion on what should I do to my USB driver Thanks in advance Nancy Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73859

    - Difference between target of Windows CE or PocketPC? What kind of differences are there between compiling for a PocketPC device or a Windows CE device? What differences in functionality and class library support are there? MS VS .NET 2003 offers both platforms as targets for a C# project, but the supported devices it shows are pretty much the same in both cases (just eliminating the CE.NET devices in the PocketPC target). Also, eVC 4.0 seems to have both targets shown as well. Can someone give me a quick idea of what the differences are? Thanks, Eric Gross Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73850

    - Allocate more Memory to Windows CE.Net 4.2 Emulator I have installed the CE.Net 4.2 Emulator and it works fine. I installed a JVM on it because my app has a Java applet (very small) running on it. I got the install to work fine but the problem I am having is that the emulator runs out of memory when I run IE and the jvm together. Is there any way I can increase the size of the memory in the emulator- allocate more memory to it? I have allocated more memory to RAM from the available memory but I still come up short.

    - CoCreateInstance Class not registered error even though it is Hi, I am porting an application from PocketPC 2002 to PocketPC 2003 using evc 4.0. The code worked perfectly in PocketPC 2002. But even with the newly compiled code using evc 4.0 it keeps giving Class Not Registered error on PocketPC 2003 even though I have made sure it is registered. I did that using regsvrce.exe and also EVC 4.0 reports successful registration on download. I came across a similar problem posted on the microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer newsgroup as given below. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF- 8&threadm=LyKAs9kcDHA.460% 40cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq% 3DCoCreateInstance%2Bclass%2Bnot%2Bregistered%2Bin% 2Bpocketpc%2B2003%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe% 3DUTF-8%26selm%3DLyKAs9kcDHA.460%2540cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl% 26rnum%3D1 This article suggested changing Single Thread model to MultiThread model and Apartment to Free. It said that PocketPC 2003 does not support Single and Apartment model. I am facing the same problem as mentioned in the newsgroup now but the solution mentioned there did not resolve the issue in my case. Here is my scenario. Could anyone please let me know what I might be missing? 1. The earlier code was built using evc 3.0 for PocketPC 2002 and ran fine on both iPAQ and Symbol devices with this OS. 2. The client has now switched to a new model Symbol PPT 8846 having PocketPC 2003. 3. So I am porting the application to PocketPC 2003 using EVC 4.0. 4. At first I did not make the changes proposed in the article and the code compiled fine in EVC 4. 5. However it was unable to perform a CoCreateInstance and the error code said "Class not registered". However both EVC 4.0 registered it successfully and I even used the regsvrce.exe and it said successful registration. 6. After I read the posting, I made the changes proposed, in all the COM components and registered them on the device. But still no luck, it still keeps giving the same error. Would anyone have an idea what I might be missing? This project is on a deadline so I would appreciate any help you can provide. Regards, Swami Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73823

    - SHCreateMenuBar I have a very frustrating problem with an application that used to work which is now failing in the call to SHCreateMenuBar. I'm wondering what could cause this function to fail. To the best of my knowledge IDR_MENUBAR is defined in the resource file and I can view/edit it in the resource editor. I'm really stumped. This is my call which pretty much looks like it was taken from one of the msdn samples. aygshell.lib is included in my linker under the input section. // // Add our system menubar. // SHMENUBARINFO mbi; mbi.cbSize = sizeof (SHMENUBARINFO); mbi.hwndParent = m_hWnd; mbi.dwFlags = 0; mbi.nToolBarId = IDR_MENUBAR; mbi.hInstRes = ::AfxGetInstanceHandle(); mbi.nBmpId = 0; mbi.cBmpImages = 0; BOOL success; success = SHCreateMenuBar( &mbi ); Thanks in advance -- Brian V.

    - Definitive way for cabwiz to install to PPC2003 and not PPC2002 Hi, I am looking for a definitive way for a cabwiz install to differentiate between a PPC2003 and a PPC2002. I have seen many posts, websites, ... that talk about this but none of them seem to work. The only way I am able to prevent a PPC2003 install from installing to a PPC2002 is by adding UnsupportedPlatforms="Pocket PC" (space) entry in the PPC2003 INF file. No problem with this. Doing the same thing in the PPC2002 INF file with UnsupportedPlatforms="PocketPC" (no space) prevents the installation to PPC2002, which is not what I would have expected. Apparently the PPC2002 treats "Pocket PC" and "PocketPC" as the same string. I have tried monkeying with the VersionMin and VersionMax but I have not been able to prevent installation to PPC2002 or PPC2003 by modifying these entries at all. I have tried all different combinations of the PlatformString, PlatformMin, and PlatformMax strings. I have tried combinations with and without UnsupportedPlatforms, VersionMin, and VersionMax . Has anybody had ANY success in this area? Thanks, Bob Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73788

    - MainForm disappears after new window closes Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I hope that some of you also experienced something similar: I open my main form, and then let it open a login form to verify the user. Waht happenes is the following: - main form loads - login form is shown - after a successful login the login form closes - the main form stays in the back, and it is only visible in the running tasks Here's some code (I hope the formatting doesn't get lost): [CODE] Me.Enabled = False createAll() 'runs some sql statements Dim ret As String = frmLogin.ShowDialog() Me.Enabled = True 'Email check Dim retValue As Boolean = Check_Emails() 'Me.Invalidate() <-- doesn't help either ... [/CODE] And there's also a general question open: which is the best practice to have one main form and several other functional forms in one app? I mean, I would I programmatically start? I think that VB.NET changed in a way, because I normally had one main form that I would load and unload at some point, but somehow VB.NET doesn't react in the same way ...

    - Unicode font support for all languages/characters? Hello, If you can shed any light on a solution to my problem, I appreciate it. (Even third party solutions.) Problem: I have an app that serves as a translation dictionary viewer. I have many of my own databases that store the word translations in unicode. I need the ability to display any of these languages. Right now it works just fine with languages such as English, French, Italian, etc. But I also have translation dictionaries for Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Arabic, Greek, and more. They don't display correctly. I don't know if that means that I just need a font that has all the glyphs for the unicode set or if I need something more. Also I need a compact font, unlike the Arial Unicode MS (22MB). Questions: Do I just need a font? Where can I get one that I can distribute with my program? What about bi-directional language support? Specs: I do not need to get special character input. I only want to display these characters. I am currently using evc++ 3.0 and have a project targeted for the Pocket PC 2002 platform. I am not using MFC. Background: I originally wrote this program for Palm OS. Palm OS doesn't have native support for Unicode so I used a third party software (twinypalm.com) to display text. With thier fonts and library it only came to about 1.5 MB. Now in porting the application over to pocket pc I have the unicode display problem. Once again, any help is appreciated. Kalon Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73752

    - need help: simple message connection PocketPC <-> unix/PC Hello, I am wondering if someone can point me to a right direction. I am new to any network programming general. I like to write an app on PocketPC and Unix/Windows to pass some alphanumerics to eachother. In post, I simply used a lib, like VRPN to communicate between 2 machines, but I heard using VRPN on PocketPC is a pain on butt. I was wondering if there are network communication related library for PocketPC to talk to another IP-ed machines. Assumption is: -Pocket PC and Unix/Windows both have IP address -and commnicating over inter(re)net or directly eachother(called Ad-hoc? or Peer to Peer?) I would immagine this is relatively simple task, just passing some int/float/ascii from one to another, but I have no experience on it. Thanks in advance!! makoto Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question.

    - embedded visual c++ 3.0 slow I have this problem with embedded visual c++ 3.0 that started happening a few weeks ago. It seems that, the program slows down to a crawl about once every 5 seconds or so. If I'm working in the editor, it will stop and none of my keystrokes do anything for a few seconds and then, they all come out quickly. It's like some sort of delay going on. It is only happening in embedded visual c++ 3.0, not any other program on my system. I've disabled all the statement completion options thinking it was that but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73732

    - Microsoft Media Player Control for PocketPC I'm having a problem with the Microsoft Media Player Control for PocketPC. I'm writing in Embedded C++ 3.0 for Pocket PC 2002 and 2003. If I create the control and display it on my application's main dialog, it works fine. If I create a child dialog and display it there, it plays the audio but not the video. I just get the default background. I have reproduced this on PocketPC 2002 and 2003. I have a small sample application I can post or email to anyone who want to take a look at it. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Thanks! -John Tag: Pocket PC and Sql 2k Question. Tag: 73720

    - Basic question : Replacing CString when moving from MFC to Win32 We are porting one of our MFC apps to Pocket PC and Smartphone devices. Due to disk and memory constraints, we cannot use MFC for these platforms. So I have to convert our MFC-based objects into plain Win32 classes. My question is what string type do you use for replacing MFC's CString? For example, if my MFC class is : class CPerson : public CObject { CString m_strFirstName; CString m_strLastName; } How would I write this in Win32? I realize, the CObject will have to go. Regarding the strings, will they be defined as LPCTSTR or LPTSTR? Does it make any difference? Also, is there any "base" class like CObject in Win32 that will help when serializing our data? Thanks!

Greetings All,

I'm currently working on a VB.Net project that uses the .NET Compact
Framework.
I have a question regarding setting the time.

My application connects to a SQL server across the network, is it possible
to set the Pocket PC's time to that of the SQL server?
I need to do this as part of a function everytime I connect to the server.

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated?

Thanks,

Wayne

Simply call SetLocalTime or SetSystemTime on connection (see
www.opennetcf.org/smartdeviceframework.asp for definitions). You can get
the SQL Server's time with a SELECT getdate()
