• EIUTYRONE simple question

  I am developing a project that has multiple picture boxes that are filled dynamically in my code. During development I hard coded that picture location to the sd card and just put the pictures out there. Now I have to allow the user to install the software and all either on the sd card or the hand held itself. What I am wanting to do is to have a pics folder in my project containing all of the pictures and refer to them there. That way no matter where the end user puts the software, the pics will be there. I need to know how to refer to these pictures in my code. currently I have: Dim image As New Bitmap("sd card\APIS Mobile\Pics\hhapistitle3.jpg") any help is appreciated.

• Dasa How to manage phone calls without using TAPI on Windows Mobile 2003 SE Phone edition

  When I'm using TAPI to manage the phone functionality of my device MDA III (Windows Mobile 2003 SE Phone Edition) I have a problem with GPRS reconnection. When I remove the code, which uses TAPI the reconnection works, but I can't use my phone. One solution is to use the default device’s phone application, but in this case I must invoke it, when I want to make a phone call, show it on the screen and transfer the phone number. The other problem is the case with incoming calls. I don’t know whether is possible to catch these calls without TAPI. I read some articles about RIL, but I don’t know how to use it ! Best Regards Tihomir Ignatov Thanks Alex! I created a managed wrapper for RIL and it works fine! Yes, b ...Show All

• Leebo31 Installer for Pocket PC WM 5.0

  Is there a difference in the way you create a setup for Pocket PC WM 5.0 I know that in a regular Windows application, you create a setup and deployment project in your current solution and then you build the setup project which creates the installer. What about for Pocket PC, what steps are required to do so I know that when you want to install a program to your pocket pc, you run the installer from a regular machine and then the installer looks to see if you have a Pocket PC connected through ActiveSync. Just wondering how you do that As easy as this seems, it's difficult for me to find a solution to this problem. It is different, just follow through the process in VS2005 in the setup & Deployment projects. For a be ...Show All

• Grant_A When are the values (in the reports for instance) considered as stable?

  Hi, I was wondering whether there is a delay that I have to take into consideration when I download report from the API to be sure that the values I download are stable. What I mean is: does the msn staff go through the values (clicks for instance) to adjust them (false clicks to be removed...) which can make a report downloaded at 8:00 different from the same report downloaded at 8:30 (if my account is checked during this half hour by the staff) Thanks. Speicifying the AllOrNone flag, does it mean that the full report is (immediately) available when I ask for it or do I get an empty report whether it is not ready yet That used to be the case, but now the reports are ...Show All

• srfitz2000 Tile Overlay Refresh

  We are rendering overlay tiles in VE and we need a way to refresh our overlay tiles already present (loaded) in a VE session. There does not appear to be a way to do this. I have tried: DeleteLayer and DeleteTileSource and then re-add (AddTileSource and AddLayer)...we even tried deleting everything and reloading the map Map.LoadMap... Our overlay tiles just immediately re-appear instead of the source in GetTilePath getting called again. What can we do We resolved it...yes, it was a browser caching issue. Our GetTilePath points to a custom http handler to generate the tile images. All we had to do was convince the browser the same tile (xPos, yPos and zoomLevel) was actually a new tile by adding a superfulous parameter on t ...Show All
