    - Cannot create files in .NET compact Hello, I'm trying to develop a small application that saves some data in simple text files. At startup I test if the file exists, if not I create one, if it exists but is empty I put some dummy data in it. Here is the code: ----- // path = "/My Documents/test/test.txt" (directory test exists!) ... // create if not exists if(!File.Exists(path)) { File.Create(path); } // test if empty FileStream f = new FileStream(path); if(f.ReadByte() < 0) { retVal = false; } f.Close(); ... ----- Sometimes I get an IOException in the line "FileStream f = ......". Why??? Sometimes I don't get this exception but later in the program, when I try to read from the file (that should exist AND have some dummy data in it), I get an FileNotFoundException. And really -> there is no file! Why???? When I debug through the program, the file is often created - so it seems to me that it is a "timing"-problem. Does the OS have not enough time to create the file? Thanks for any Hints! Stephan Tag: ANN: Satellite Forms 6.1.1 Now Available! Tag: 108570

    - LoadLibrary error 126L "The specified module could not be found" I'm trying to dynamically load a DLL in an MFC Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4) application. The DLL is an MFC extension for Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4). I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to write both the DLL and the app. But, LoadLibrary() fails and GetLastError() reports 126L:"The specified module could not be found." I've tried putting the DLL in the root directory and in the \windows directory. It doesn't seem to make any difference. I can verify with windows explorer the DLLL file is where I think it should be. My code is below, if anybody can see what I'm doing wrong, please let me know. Thanks, PaulH My LoadLibrary call: HINSTANCE hModule = NULL; if ((hModule = (HINSTANCE)LoadLibrary(_T("\\BatteryLog.dll"))) == NULL) { TRACE(_T("Couldn't load DLL \n")); DisplayError(__FILE__, __LINE__); } The DLLMain Function: extern "C" BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved) { UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(lpReserved); if (dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) { TRACE0("BatteryLog.DLL Initializing!\n"); // Extension DLL one-time initialization if (!AfxInitExtensionModule(BatteryLogDLL, reinterpret_cast<HMODULE>(hInstance))) { return 0; } new CDynLinkLibrary(BatteryLogDLL); } else if (dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH) { TRACE0("BatteryLog.DLL Terminating!\n"); // Terminate the library before destructors are called AfxTermExtensionModule(BatteryLogDLL); } return 1; // ok } Tag: ANN: Satellite Forms 6.1.1 Now Available!

    - MFC 8 dlls on the 6700 (sprint and Verizon) It looks like the HTC 6700 comes with some MFC8 dlls in the ROM. In particular msvcr80.dll This DLL appears to be some custom build of MFC. If I overwrite it with the dll that shipped with visual studio 2005 the image gallery app hangs. And, if I try to run my MFC app using this builtin dll my app fails. Does anyone has more info on this issue? I cannot statically link to MFC since I use an extention DLL. Also if you are wondering how I was able to overwrite a ROM file, the cab installer wceload.exe for some reason is able to write my dll on top of the builtin one.

    - Suggestions for debugging gwes.exe errors I'm trying to debug a GWES problem and would appreciate any tips you might have about debugging GWES related problems. When running my app, it occasionally causes an error in gwes.exe. If I turn off error reporting on the device, the problem seemingly goes away (no crashes or visible problems in my app). I had read in another post that by turning off error reporting in the System->Settings, it should show where the error is in my app. Since the error is intermittent and this app is quite complex (including hooks into various UI components, like the password.cpl and intercepts some keys to cause it to load instead of a built-in app), I'm hoping to find some way of determining the cause of the error more directly than iteratively removing functionality. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ed Tag: ANN: Satellite Forms 6.1.1 Now Available! Tag: 108521

    - Windows mobile 5.0 printer driver problem. Hi, I have a troubles with development of printer driver for windows mobile 5.0 devices. It seems that callback function "DrvCopyBits" is not execute correctly from device menager. Execution of it never stops (until return 0), and bitmap data bytes that comes in "psoSrc" are all 0xFF (awlays white pixels). Is there any specials for setting bitmap type or something other specifig for printer drivers in WM50 devices? I develop such a driver also for PocketPC 2002, Pocket PC 2003 and Windows CE.NET 4.20 devices and have no problems with them. There everything works as expected. Sample for building driver is taken from platform builder. Is there any plans for embedding print abilities in applications such as Pocket Word, Pocket Excel and Pocket IE as like they presents in Windows CE.NET 4.20 powered devices?

    - suggestions for improved MessageBox on Photon a suggestion for the MSFT Mobile shell team: it would be nice to provide an improved/extended version of MessageBox - let's call it MessageBoxEx - with at least the following feature: - two additionnal optional parameter to customise the soft-keys strings if those parameters are NULL, the default strings are used (i.e. same as the current MessageBox). if one or both of those parameters are not NULL, they are pointer to strings used for the left and right soft-keys, and overwrite the default. optionally it could be nice to specify command-id's to overwrite the defaults, but that's not necessary, since MessageBox is a modal dialog. this extension would allow using the same internal features as MessageBox (i.e. Alerts sound & icons, etc), while changing the soft-key text to something custom, more appropriate than the default limited set of choices such as Ok/Cancel , Yes/No etc. Choices such as Now/Later, "Cancel/I Agree" (e.g. for a licencing agreement), etc would be possible. what do you think? also, naturally, MessageBox needs to be fixed on Pocket PC, since it is seriously broken especially when Pocket PC's are used in Landscape orientation. in case you missed it, here is a recap of the problems: On Pocket PC WM5, soft-keys cannot be used to answer the question from a MessageBox (or to close it). On Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition, when in Landscape orientation, MessageBox does not use the full width of the display, so you messages usually get truncated, and in some cases the buttons get truncated or totally hidden. The only workaround is to reduce the size of your messages, which may be a problem with localized applications. MsgBox can use the full width of the display in Landscape orientation, so you can see longer messages. This is especially useful in applications localized in other languages. On Pocket PC, MessageBox just truncates the text if it is too long to be entirely displayed (not the case on Smartphone). Sometimes, MessageBox even displays the buttons outside of the screen, making the dialog completely un-usable. MsgBox makes text scrollable if text is too long to be entirely displayed (like on Smartphone). This is very useful, especially on the new square-screen Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition devices. A vertical scroll-bar or the UP/DOWN D-pad buttons can be used to scroll the text when it is scrollable. On Pocket PC WM5 and 2003 Second Edition, MessageBox does not handle the SIP correctly. For example, if the SIP is up, MessageBox sometimes display a dialog with the OK/Cancel buttons hidden under the SIP. This can be very confusing to average users, and it also violates MSFT's own guidelines for Logo-certified applications. MsgBox handles the SIP correctly, and it automatically lowers the SIP when it activates. Tag: ANN: Satellite Forms 6.1.1 Now Available! Tag: 108446

    - DateTimePicket control question On one form I have on datetimepicker control. The selected data is stored into an XML file as "Monday, July 19, 1982" for example - this is the exact format I use for storing the data. When I try loading the data from the XML file in my form I cand set the date for the control as it is in the file. I have used the following code: dtpDate.CustomFormat = "dddd,MMMM d,yyyy"; dtpDate.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom; dtpDate.Text = date_string; I tryed both Update() and Refresh() for the control .... but it doesn't work :-( Where is my mistake? How can I set the date to the control? Thank you! Andrei Tag: ANN: Satellite Forms 6.1.1 Now Available! Tag: 108434

    - Having Replication Issues I have instantiated a publication on SQL 2005 on my local machine, in IIS5.1 again running on my local machine. I set up a subscription to that publication pointing at a separate database on my machine. When I subscribe and run the subscription all went well. I added the replication subscription to SQL Mobile 2005 which set up the base database and tables. I can view and alter the tables on the device as well as on the emulator. When I set up yhe synchronization code to run via button click I get : I receive an error -- "A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT. I added a second message box to pull HRESULT and native errors which re ran gives me this: HRESULT is -2127012894 NATIVEERROR is 28037 with a source of Mobile SQL Server 2005 I have ran the subscriptions locally without error -- the error comes from a pocket pc mobile 5.0 device cradled.
