• Levas PPC bluetooth communication via a serial port

  I have heard that you can use bluetooth to communicate from a PPC to a PC by creating a virtual serial port on the pc, but is it possible to do this when I am just trying to have 2 PPCs communicate with each other If so, could I use the SerialPort class, and how would I do this Which ports would I use The reason I want to do this is my devices use a broadcom stack instead of the microsoft one, so I cannot use 32feet.NET. Depending on your iPAQ model you may need to use a data rate slower than 115,200 as the Bluetooth serial implementation on some iPAQ models (certainly the H2200 model) won't go that high. 57,600 bps provides reliable service for our applications. In terms of your proposed application ...Show All

• davehomebrew Asyncronous Notification using Compact Framework and Web Services

  Hi, Is it possible to develop a web service which can send asyncronous notification to the client application using Web Service and not the Remoting What I really want to know that, if each client application have a web service which gets the notification from server web service (on some task running on server). Is this possible Does anyone have done it before.

As far as I know the .NET compact framwork doesn't support the remoting. Does remoting is now fully supported by latest version of Windows Compact Framework Does any one have any idea.

  hello all impressive work on VE4! from this article: http://www.gcn.com/online/vol1_no1/42541-1.html Can you describe what GIS standards are supported Is it just GeoRSS I've looked through the entire API, the WinForms Ghost example code and the GlobeControl assemblies themselves and I couldn't find any WMS/WFS etc. support. Is this coming in the future maybe How about KML I love the API and the fact that you can get under the hood using standard DX coding and that there's a PlugIn framework available.

• cabledog changing backlight brightness

  I am using the code below for changing backlight brightness on iPaqs and works OK. But it don't work on hp ipaq hx2190 with WCE 5.0 Portuguese. I've found that the program that changes the brighness in hx2190 modify the same registry keys, and calls the same BackLightChangeEvent (at least has this name on its code, seen with a Hex editor). The behaviour is very strange, let mi explain it with an example: -I adjust with hx2190 program both ACBright and DCBright to level 1 -Then change the bright level with my program to level4 for both, AC and DC. bright level doesn't change. -Return to hx2190 program using battery and I can see that the slider for DC remains al lever 1 but the level for AC has changed to level 4!. -Connect AC power: The sl ...Show All

• mbradzick printing custom tile maps.

  Hi.. I am encountering a situation with printing the VEMap and I can not find a solution..so I hope one of you out there knows about this problem.. When I add custom layers (composed of transparent . png tiles containing visual information) from my server on top of the VEMap only the top layer of the map will print. The implementation of my server and client is described here http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Articles/RollYourOwnTileServer.ashx Only the last added layer will print. The odd thing is that if I try to print preview it, it behaves correctly and it displays the whole map with its added layers... if I try to print it though.. it prints just the last added layer. Any clues or help are very welcome!! Thanks ...Show All
