• tantz how to use #if COMPACT_FRAMEWORK

  I am implementing a new security model for a project, and I need to change a dll to be CF compatible (ie remove all XPath stuff). I figure a good way to do this would be to use, for example: #if COMPACT_FRAMEWORK private System.Windows.Forms.Panel gbNewPassword; #else private System . Windows . Forms . GroupBox gbNewPassword; #endif However, my compiler wont build it, mostly because it doesn't seem to know I want it to build in COMPACT_FRAMEWORK mode. The project is a C# Smart Device project, by the way. How do I get the compiler to believe we are building the project for compact framework Should I be creating a new solution configuration Thanks, Iceman_Aragorn You'd need to define COMPACT_FR ...Show All

• Kaisor onchangeview event does not happen after using Pan()?

  I've created a map and am also using map.AttachEvent("onchangeview", SomeFunction). I've also created my own custom compass and zoom buttons. Clicking on the zoom buttons fires the onchangeview event function, but it doesn't fire when clicking on the points of the compass. For moving the map I'm using Pan(x,y). The map pans correctly, but this doesn't trigger an onchangeview event. I'm looking to get the lat & long coordinates of the map's boundary after the pan has occured. Is there another way I can do this Thanks I am having the same problem. Did you find any solution for this   Thanks! ...Show All

  Hello, i wrote an application for smart devices with C#, Net CF 2.0. This app calls web services running in IIS on my server. The app runs without problems on a WinCE5.0 device and on a WinCE4.20 Second edition device.

• Nick Mc Crash when hosting Windows Media Player ver 10.3 ActiveX control (T-Mobile DASH)

  I am using Alex Feinman's Compact Framework ActiveX host (as described in this MSDN article ). It works great when hosting Media Player versions 10.1 and 10.2, that are available on most WM5 Pocket PCs and Smartphones. For some reason, when trying to instantiate the WMP control on a T-Mobile DASH smartphone, the device UI hangs (every single running application including the home screen). The only difference that I found is that DASH uses a newer version of Media Player -10.3 (mine is build 15097). I was able to trace the problem to a call to InPlaceActivate() -> DoVerb( -5 ....) during the control creation process ( called from TransitionUpTo(..) in AxHost.cs) . Oddly enough, commenting the call to InPlaceActivate(), allows the ...Show All
