• Mahender SQL error? Please Help Me

  please help me " Error" i want use dataset in windows mobile application and when i fill datagrid from dataset give fe unknown error please help me Picture for error link Error Picture It's not an "unknown error" but perfectly normal unhanded exception which indicates a bug in your code - luck of exception handling. You should add exception handling, catch this exception and print all information from it - exception type, error message, stack trace and error message from error collection (if applicable). After that you would be able to analyze this exception and figure our why it was thrown. In this case it’s probably thrown because connection to SQL Express can not be established.

• General Fault Deploying Multiple cab files at once

  I have developed my application and created the .cab file for this application. I followed the tutorial on creating an MSI file and custominstaller and this works fine. My problem comes from the fact that my application must also install .NET framework 2.0 and the SQLMobile .Cab file. I am wanting to package all of these together and be able to deploy them at one time from a users PC. I am not wanting to make the user click on each cab file to execute them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to accomplish this, or give me a good idea on how to do it. Thanks for any help You best bet is deploy CABs one by one via CeAppMgr and INI files. Nested CABs is rather theoretic ...Show All

• jorijo window to watch device while running

  Rory Blyth showed what was happening on his device with a window during his presentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdntv/episode.aspx xml=episodes/en/20060907MobileRB/manifest.xml . How can I do the same (I already know how to run the emulator, but it's slower, and doesn't have the barcode scanner.) Thanks. I found that the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys I downloaded from Microsoft includes an ActiveSync Remote Display utility (ASRDisp.exe), which seems to work quite well. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=74473fd6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&DisplayLang=en : ) You’d need to purchase application which can do that, e.g. Pocket Controller (search for it). ...Show All

• Pockey VE in XAML application

  I am trying to embed VE in a WPF application (XAML). From this forum, I have learned how to embed VE as a web browser control in a WinForms app, and then load a .js script into the webrowser and talk to the script methods inside (I don't like kludges like this, but then that is what I get for trying wacky things). But ( VS-Studio, Sparkle (interactive designer)) do not allow web browser controls to be placed in XAML pages. So I am stuck as to do do this. no webbrowser poor boy ;) well, there is an alternative, check out this link http://viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx I'm actually a development lead, not a PM.

• Athan My VS 2003 is missing System.IO.Port

  Hi I have VS 2003 enterprise edition on my PC. I also have VB.NET, C# Express installed. I've installed the .NET CF 2.0. But still in my VS 2003 Smart application project (VB Console Application) it says System.IO.port is not there. I then looked at the object browser, mscorlib -> system -> IO  , Port or Serial are not there. I am   not sure is the VS 2003 using .NET Framework 1.1 or it automically loads .NET CF 2.0 when I create a Smart mobile application project..... is there anyway to check in object browser that that mscorlib is from which .NET  framework version (.NET 1.1 or CF 2.0 ) ... I want to do some work with the Serial port....that's why i am looking for this API.. Thanks   ...Show All

• Joshua-Programmer Calculating boundingbox

  If I have the center and zoom-level of a tile, how do I calculate the extents of the tile In other words, what are the extents of a tile I know this changes because of the mercator-projection. The new tilesource spec returns a tileContext which only holds the three values mentioned above, which I think is far from enough to create a dynamic generated layer from a different datasource based on long/lat. Especially if you have t to perform on-the-fly reprojection to Mercator. Is it possible to extract the Mercator-coordinates, and translate the zoom-value to a tile-size based on these units Cool cool. Any chance you will be sharing the solution on a web site somewhere. Hint, hint I'm sure the SharpMap ...Show All
