• darynk21 Discover cradled PocketPC

  Hi! I'm looking for a way to programmatically (preferably through .NET, but native code will do as well) discover a PocketPC in its cradle so that I can access its registry and retrieve some files from it. I'd be grateful for any help in this matter. I'm having a similar problem, but I need to detect when the PocketPC is inserted into its cradle (much like how ActiveSync detects it). Any ideas Hi Check the OpenNETCF.org Desktop.Communication Library ( http://www.opennetcf.org/PermaLink.aspx guid=d7b7cbef-4ab6-477b-924c-0498a523beaf ) This Library provides the functionality your are looking for.

• Kartit cannot configure "TCP connect transport" settings in the Remote Registry Editor

  Hello, I can't connect to my device with the Remote Registry Editor (running a custom WinCE 5.0 image without ActiveSync) because I can't change settings of the connection. When I select "TCP Connect Transport" in the "Windows CE Connectivity Manager Configuration" -> Properties and click "Configure", nothing happens. I can reproduce this with standard WinCE 5.0 SDKs too (Smartphone 2003). I'm using VS2005 SP1 Hello, I've done some more investigation (trying to make the remote file viewer work) and found that it transfers ccfwcli.exe (file size 19.752 bytes) from <Program Files>\CE Remote Tools\5.01\target\wce500\armV4i to \Windows directory on the device a ...Show All

• Th3 7ru7h [BUG] Using Firefox with Virtual Earth

  Firefox 2.0.0.1 (and Netscape 8.0.3.3 with 'display as Firefox' set) give the following Javascript error from the http://dev.cirtualearth.net/standard/v2/MapControl.js file: "aw.attachEvent() is not a function" when rendering my site: http://www.svrsig.org/cgi-bin/ggmap.cgi My site uses the method described in Computer Shopper to display the virtual earth map control. It works fine in IE6 (although I am told it fails in IE7 - I have ignored this for the present as I have had many people encountering bugs in IE7, like wrong pages fetched from google searches etc.). As the error seems to be in a hidden 'DIV' created by your javascript, I am a bit stumped... Any help would be most welcome. ..Which I have done - ...Show All

• JohnYG Missing files - .NET Compact Framework 2 SP1 in a Platform Builder 4.2 image

  I am trying to include the .NET Compact Framework 2 files in an Platform Builder 4.2 project. I have installed all the monthly Platform Builder updates including the July update that included .Net Compact Framework 2 SP1. .NET Compact Framework 2 shows up in my catalog and I have added it to my project and rebuilt my OS. The OS compiles correctly however none of the .NET Compact Framework 2 files are included in the OS. Any ideas As far as I remember 1.0 and 2.0 are mutually exclusive in PB so if you have V1 files it’s only natural you do not have V2 files. Please remove NETCF V1 and rebuild. I would suggest removing both and adding V2 only - just in case. By looking in the windows dir on my pl ...Show All

• CJF .Net Web Control + Operation Aborted

  I am trying to create a .Net Web Control, embedding the VE control + javascript within the control, exposing some clean properties/methods etc. so I can host from other pages. When I run the simplest of maps, I see the map appear then I get an "operation aborted" exception from the browser. Presumably this is caused by some VE Javascript running before the entire page hosting the control is complete or something Anyone have any ideas Hi Dave, Yup, I'm surprised there isn't more on this out there. The key is to make sure that everything is loaded before invoking the map stuff. I use the following Javascript: function addLoadEvent(func) { var oldonload = window.onload; if (typeof window.onload != 'fu ...Show All

• Astericks Convert Local Live Polygon coordinate to Lat/Long

  First off, MS release of Local.Live is great in the sense that users can now zoom in, highlight an area, and then share that highlighted area via the polygon feature of scratch pad. My question: Is there a way to go from local.live's coded polygon coordinates to lat/long We'd really like to collect polygons drawn on local.live and re-use them in a VE implementation. However, the polygon points are encoded and VE wants lat/long points. Ultimately we could try to re-build WLL, but trying to build the scratch pad looks tricky. For example, given this URL: http://local.live.com/ v=2&sp=Polygon.pfy1bp5c6008_pfy19f5c63q3_pfxt1f5c63t0_pfxsrx5c5zst_pfxty85c5z46_pfy0j75c5z2t_pfy19f5c5zkz_pfy1bp5c6035_pfy1bp5c6008_Test%20field____%2 ...Show All
