• donkaiser 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... Yes, doing a "repair" of VS is the next course of action. Please let me know if your situation improves afterwards. Barry ...Show All

• Chuff Bluetooth file transfer?

  Are there any good samples or blogs available that show how to transfer files via Bluetooth on NETCF from one phone to the next programmatically I’ve searched the forums but all I can find is many suggestions and some desktop samples but no mobile samples that simply transfer a file from one phone to the next. Your help would really be appreciated ;-) thanks I'd take a look at the personal area networking library available at 32feet.com which includes Bluetooth support. First of all thanks Brendan for your response.. Though sadly that’s the sort of answer you find on Google and spend hour trying to figure out how to use.. Since I finally got it working, here’s the detai ...Show All

• ardmark Invisible Window

  Hi guys, I want to have an invisible window so it can exist in the foreground or background and not effect any other windows. Basically all it will do is handle global key events (a hotkey most likely) if and when they happen. If it can then become invisble, that's a bonus, but it's not a huge deal. There has to be a way to make an invisible window, but I've tried CreateWindow with so many different types of windows and had no luck. Could it simply be a matter of not doing anything with WM_PAINT events Would that let the window exist and receive events invisibly Cheers, Dan. It's still a window, I think having message loops in console programs in impossible as you have to have a window to se ...Show All

• Vijay Guru Prasadh Why is the CF 2.0 so huge?

  Hi, I was told that .NET CF 2.0 is roughly 8 - 9 MB but I just downloaded .NET CF 2.0 Redistributable and its around 25 MB! Why the huge difference Zii Hi, I guess the person telling you that made a mistake. Even the latest 1.0 CF has 14MB. -- SvenC NETCF V2 would take about 6 MB uncompressed/2MB compressed on your device. You've just downloaded an MSI which is not for your device but for your desktop. It contains NETCF CABs for all supported CPUs and OS versions plus NETCF SDK to be used by VS 2005. Only one CAB from MSI would actually go to your device.

• Tucan55 keybd_event() drops duplicate characters

  To All, I’ve written a program which takes the input from a barcode scanner and sends it as a keyboard wedge to any textbox that has focus. I’m using keybd_event() to send the characters, and the program works well, unless I have duplicate characters in my character array. For example: FQT-123 in my array displays just fine in the textbox. However, FQT-100 will display as “FQT-10” Or “Q6335-10009” will be read out as: “Q6334-1009” or sometimes as “Q634-109” I’ve tried to remedy this by throttling the FOR loop that iterates through the character array with a sleep(50) for (uiLoop=0; uiLoop<uiCount; uiLoop++) { Sleep(50); keybd_event(bOutput[uiLoop], 0, KEYEVENTF_SILENT, 0) ...Show All

• daijun Accessing POOM from C#

  Using C# in Visual Studio 2003 .Net I'm trying to access the POOM Contacts list. Long ago I built a simple program with eVB to do something similar but after reading dozens of links I still can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone shed some light Robert W. Vancouver, BC Should there be ”much simpler way”, there will be no 3rd party toolkit, right But you are correct, there’s a way but only on WM 5.0. So, you have these options: Drop support for older devices (pre WM 5.0), upgrade to VS 2005 and use WM 5.0 features. Purchase 3 rd party toolkit, it should work on all devices but you probably want to verify that with manufacturer. Code everything yourself. ...Show All

• cmwith CABs of multiple platform in single MSI

  Hi, Have created respective .CABs for WM 2003 SE PPC, WM5 PPC and WM5 Smartphone, bundled and built them into single .MSI release. However, ActiveSync doesn't seem to be able to pick and install the right WM5 CAB onto right WM5 device. Have set the OSVersionMax/Min to 3.00 to 4.99 for WM 2003 CAB; and 5.00 to 5.99 for WM5 CABs. The .ini file was defined as such: CabFiles = WM5PPC.CAB,WM5SP.CAB,WM2003SE.CAB On running the .MSI generated, which then activates ActiveSync, the WM5 PPC CAB was being installed on my WM5 Smartphone. Question 1: Any further definition in .MSI to help ActiveSync differentiate WM5 PPC from WM5 Smartphone Question 2: Could I reduce two .NET CF2 projects, WM5 PPC and WM5 Smartphone, into a single ...Show All
