• vgvKarthik VS2005 smart device exe doesn't run

  VS2005 smart device exe doesn't run My Pocket PC 2003 app has just one form, and a "hello world" msgbox from a button. I add a Smart Device Cab Project to this project. I the set its Primary output to my test app. This then creates all my dependences. These dlls are all set to exclude = true. Now because my pocket PC has just been hard reset (So I can test the set-up) I set the exclude = False for all the dlls. This I thought would be enough to create me a cab file for my test exe to run. I copy over the built cab file to the Pocket pc and run it from there. The app sits in its correct folder in program files but when clicked just doesn’t show. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks ...Show All

• HET2 Threading in .NET CF

  Hi, I am using VS.NET 2003 for developing .NET CF application. I have many forms in the application which i want to load when user starts my application. I want to load all the forms in the start of application to provide fast switching between multiple screens. I have used singelton pattern to avoid creating multiple instance of the forms. The requirement of my application is to load some job related forms when user opens a job. Loading some of job related forms includes creating instance of form (if it is not created) + loading field values from the database. Some Job related forms i load at the time user opens the Job while other forms i load when user navigates to a screen where it is required to load all the additional forms for pro ...Show All

• Prasenna Datatable refuses to go out of US date time format C#

  This C# does not seem to work: newTable.Locale = new CultureInfo ( "sv-SE" ); // newTable is a Datatable  It's still in US datetime format. I've tried lots of different constructs. I working in Windows CE 5.0 That would be coredll.dll, API is SetLocaleInfo(). If you're not familiar with P/Invoke, please see information here and here . DTP has Format property which you can set to any format you like. By the way, it appears you're confusing locale with date and time format. Can you change the locale of the entrie device programatically from C# or do you have to do it from C++ and P/Invoke it DataTable stores DateTime in format-l ...Show All

• Zero_ Breakpoint will not currently be hit in smart device DLL

  I am trying to debug a C# .Net Compact Framework 1.0 application for Pocket PC using Visual Studio 2005. The application is made up of a number of DLL projects. All the projects are set to Debug, and they all deploy to the device fine. When I debug the application I can set breakpoints in all the classes except those in one particular project. Breakpoints are not hit in this project, and when I am stepping in other classes that use objects from that particular project, the debugger says "Could not evaluate expression" What I find even weirder is in the debug output it says "Symbols loaded" for that particular DLL, but in the Modules window the DLL is not listed. Even though the debug output indicates it is loaded and t ...Show All

• saud.a.k BUG: VELayerSpecification.LayerSource Requires ".XML" Extension for GeoRSS

  Hello, I've been working and evaluating both VE and MapPoint Web Services for use publicly and privately within my organization. Recently, I was asked to plot all the office locations on a map. I decided to use MapPoint to geocode the locations on the server and generate a GeoRSS file to use within the web page with the VE control. I discovered that even with the MIME Content Type specified (as application/rss+xml), the VE control will not load the push-pins into the layer if the LayerSource does not contain a ".XML" extension when the Layer Type is set as GeoRSS. Please consider removing this limitation in future versions of the control. I don't believe that developers using VE should have to generate a physical XML file for the control t ...Show All

• Kevin ORiordan LatLong calculated with PixelToLatLong varies from e.view.LatLong

  I am using the following to calculate and display the cursor location: latlong = map.PixelToLatLong( event .clientX, event .clientY); Then, in the map.OnClick event, I use e. view.LatLong to display the cursor location. However, the two values are different! Which one is right Since I'm adding data to a database based upon the location I feel it's important to get it right! Getting the accurate pixel location has been causing me problems. In a recent demo for drawing accurate polygons using the crosshair we had to actually correct the value by 1 pixel up and 3 pixels right for IE. (try it in local.live.com) We also had to use a more generic function to get the top and left position of the ...Show All
