• pars382985 Problem: run c# program on Dell Axim

  Hi, I am quite newbies about C#. Well, I wrote a sample application (following MSDN tutorial). It works fine when using the Pocket PC emulator, but it cannot be run on the real pocket pc ( I use Dell Axim with OS: Window Mobile 2003 SE.); I mean it was completely installed there but did show up any result when running.

• Jon Stroh What framework to use for an application?

  For developing a commercial quality application for PocketPC ATL->MFC->.NET(C#) There’s no single answer to that. Use whatever you feel comfortable with and/or fits you needs and/or your time frame. What would you use Ilya That depends on your project requirements. You should try RAD level first (e.g. C#) because it cuts time to market and saves you money on development. Go lower (C++, pure C, and even assembly) if you can't accomplish your task with RAD tools. Combined solution is also possible, e.g. C# for UI and C++/C/Assembly for real time functionality like VOIP. ...Show All

• Arjun B Querying SQL Server Mobile (CE 3.0) with Visual Studio

  Hey all! I'm comming across fustrations with the sql querying tool that is built into visual studio 2005. I'm trying to query a Sql Server CE 3.0 database, and have dropped a few tables onto the diagram pane, and select my columns and everything queries fine. However, if I change my join between the two tables to a Right outer join, the designer automatically slaps a '{ oj ... }' around my where clause which isn't supported by sql server ce 3.0.

• Dashwood Ping Windows CE 5.0

  How do I ping an Ip address from Windows CE 5.0. In Windows Mobile I can use My.Computer.Network.Ping, but it is not available on CE. I am using Visual Basic – Visual Studio 2005. In VB.NET, My.Computer.Network.Ping maps to the framework class System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping which is only available in .NET Frameworks 2.0 and 3.0 and not under the Compact Framework yet... so instead you are stuck either going without, writing your own or using someone else's. One thing you might try is some of the code from this CodeProject article which contains a couple VB.NET class for sending Pings over ICMP packets (see the modMain.vb file). ...Show All

• VIKI esquire Slow load times. Can I Remove Allowed Contacts?

  I have noticed lately that Messenger is quite slow. The reason being is that a friend gave me a contact list and told me to add it. I now have a completely useless list of about 300 contacts. After deleting the contacts, I have noticed that load times haven't decreased. This is obviously because the "allowed contacts" are still loading. If you try out DotMsn (the example code), you will see that it returns ALL contacts, blocked, allowed etc. Is there any way I can remove allowed contacts that aren't in my actual (visual) contact list Thanks ...Show All

• Henrik Dahl Making existing MFC application DPI aware...

  Hi Guys! (These are probably trivial questions for the MFC Pros, but after searching 2hours in the MSDN library i thought it is worth to post a few questions ;)) I am having some problems making an existing MFC application DPI aware. --- Question 1: I am using SHGetUIMetrics to get the current system font size and create an "application font" in InitInstances of the application. I then use a public function to get the handle to the font in the various classes and dialogues that need to be DPI aware. Well not sure if this is really safe in types of encapsulation, but it's working. So now the guide says i have to register the metric changed message: WM_SH_UIMETRIC_CHANGE = RegisterWindowMessage(SH_UIMETRIC_CHANGE); and handle it i ...Show All

• Alex1st How do I know what match type the click is from?

  With Overture, you can set up your destination url's like: http://www.mysite.com/ trackingcode={ovmtc:standardcode:advancedcode:contentcode } Overture will fill the {} with whatever tracking code you specified given whatever the match type was for that impression. This way you can track your ROI at the keyword/matchtype level. How do I do this with adCenter I don't see any way of knowing what keyword the click came from along with the match type. As of right now I am going to stop development on the adCenter API, I don't see the point of integrating it with my ROI tracking software if I can't track it properly. If anyone knows how to do this let me know. Thanks. So is this the way it is going t ...Show All
