• redwood739 How to drop database table if it exits in sql mobile version?

  Hi, am using VB.net and Visual Studio 2005 to compile a program for a Pocket PC with MicrosoftR Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. I am using sql mobile also. How to drop database table if it exits in sql mobile version Thanks a lot. First do a query which uses the COUNT command. If that query succeeds you know that the table exists and then you can do a drop query. You can't do this in one query, because SQL Mobile does not support multiple queries in one command. Hi, Thanks for your reply, and in fact I know your solution, but if the database table does not exist and we drop this table, an error will appear. What I want to complete is like one of the following two queries. But ...Show All

• Violetnightsky Low battery notification in CF ?

  Hello, Does anyone know how to test for a low battery or get a low battery notification in the Compact Framework Thanks for any ideas, Tom Tom, I don't believe there's a way specifically in the Compact Framework libraries to test the battery levels. However, Windows Mobile 5 includes some managed APIs that could help you. You'll need to add Microsoft.WindowsMobile.dll and Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.dll to your project. The particular properties you'll be interested in are SystemState.PowerBatteryStrength and SystemState.PowerBatteryState. You can do a simple check, something like: if (Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.PowerBatteryStrength == Mi ...Show All

• GalaxyNg Problems to open PR_BODY message property - CEMAPI

  Hello everyone, I am having a problem to get the email body from IMessage using CEMAPI in WM 5.0. My application is actually an extended menu item (implements IContextMenu COM interface) that takes part in the Inbox message menu. By selecting the extended/my menu item I open from code a cemapi session and I retrieve the selected message. I succeed to get the message properties without errors (e.g. PR_SUBJECT), but when it comes to PR_BODY the behavior is different. The following common code that I am using always returns 'MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND'. hr = pMsg->OpenProperty(PR_BODY, &IID_IStream, STGM_READ, 0,(LPUNKNOWN*)&messageStream); I looked over the web and I didn't find any solution for ...Show All

• Padu Merloti Issue with soft keys...

  Hello out there.. I have a problem that is very similar to this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=94963&SiteID=1 However, my setup is different, and that thread was created in 2005, so I thought I'd start a new one. I am using Platform Builder for Windows Mobile 5.0, using both AKU 3.2 build 15632 and Crossbow build 15242. I created a SmartPhone Project through the Build Window Wizard, by cloning the Device Emulator BSP, retail release type, and 0409 English, 96 DPI. The project builds as expected when running BuildAll.bat. That part looks good. I was able to download the image to the emulator, and the device initializes. But, the Soft Keys, Talk and End keys are misinterpreted as 1 through 4, respectively. ...Show All

• dcaton API Call to switch off the device

  Hello everybody! I'd like to programatically switch of my Mobile Device. I think about a call to a dll file, like you do when you perform a softreset. (coredll.dll) I know that switching off a device is only possible with a special series.... like the Qtek S100. Are there any hints thx in advance & kind regards Thank you for the quick answer, unfortunately, this call just turns off the display. I'd rather need a command that switches off the device completely, like it does when you press the power button for about 2 seconds. thx in advance & kind regards Hi, I tried both, this: [DllImport ("coredll.dll")] internal static extern int SetSystemPowerState (string psS ...Show All

• Steve Harding Device eumlator won't work

  I have been using Visual Studio 2005 for a short time and have been working on a simple mobile application. I am now to the point where I would like to see what it looks like on the actual device. I tried to start the device emulator by selecting Tools/Connect to Device and then picking a device. No matter which device I choose it fails after just a few seconds. It originally complained that I didn't have ActiveSync installed but I have now done that. The message I get is simply that the "connection failed". What am I doing wrong Thanks for any help...

• ananta Aborting webservices

  Hi From my emulator when i call a webservice some times it hangs.. I set webservice.Timeout=4000. So after 4 seconds the webservice should be aborted ..That is not happening..How can i solve this issue...   I am using VS 2005, .NET CF 2.0, SmartPhone - WM 5.0 Thanks Hi, I think your problem may be where you are placing the code which sets the Timeout property. If it is placed in the async callback delegate as it is now, it will only be invoked after the webservice has successfully returned data (or timed out using the default timeout). Try to see if the following code behaves any better for you, notice where the code to set the Timeout property is located (the highlighted section). Cod ...Show All

I need to obtain the system timezone or timezone that the user specifies in the Settings/Date and Time area.
