• Doug Huff Adding designer support for C# NETCF project

  How do you make the form designer find the image without having to comment in and comment out the lines you're resp. using and not using This doesn't work: #if NETCFDESIGNTIME bitmap = new Bitmap(@"C:\Proj VS 2005\GUI\ColourButtonTest\bin\Debug\button.bmp"); #else bitmap = new Bitmap ( @"\Program Files\colourbuttontest\button.bmp" ); #endif It still can't find the image when I'm in the form designer. I always have to have two lines and comment out the Win CE device path when I'm in the designer. /Lars I will later. But why won't it work now The paths are correct. bump It's not working on my PC. ...Show All

• OvernightGeek Can'nt execute DeviceApp.exe on HP(JPN) Mobile5.0 PPC

  I created a test Mobile5.0 PPC program by VS2005. It's a simple "Hello" program. On the emulator that runs well. I deployed it to the device and then tryed to run.

  Hi, I am using directshow graphs in my application for accessing the embedded camera(PPC and SPs). I am not using a graphmanager; I contrust the graph manually, by adding the required filters.

• Keyano Losing Databinding with ResultSetViews

  I am programming in C# for the .net compact framework 2.0. I am binding controls on the screen to my SqlCe database using ResultSetViews. Everything works fine, as long as there are rows in the table when I create a ResultSet. If I create a ResultSet when there are no rows in the table, and then later add rows to the table, and after that set up the databindings, the bindings won't work (Controls who's Text property is bound display no text at all). Do I need to do something to update the resultSetViews This is (sort of) how I am doing it: cmndDB = new SqlCeCommand("SELECT * FROM MyTable", dbConn); SqlCeResultSet rs = cmndDB.ExecuteResultSet(); ResultSetView rv = rs.ResultSetView; ... cmndDB.CommandText = ...Show All

• Andrew Buyan How to optimize the loading time

  How To Optimize The Map Loading Time Hi, I'm novice to VE Api, when i run my page it's take some time to load the map in the browser, is't any way to optimize the loading time of the map, this is the code i used to display the map, We had an interesting discussion here recently about whether the js files are completely optomised, cached and compressed. They should be and this is really a MS issue. The best solution that Yuki and I are tring to get right at the moment (i thought i had a solution some time ago) is to allow the VE js to be loaded after the page is loaded. In simple terms this would allow your page to come up very fast (assuming your page is light weight!) show a loading status and then d ...Show All
