• TiborK Access command prompt in the emulator

  Can any way we can go to the command prompt in the emulator. I want's to start one service using services.exe on the command prompt OK Thanks JR Lyon For Your Kind Help I am looking for a C# solution I am looking for windows mobile 5.0 smartphone You can execute commandline-like commands using CreateProcess though. If you are using C/C++ then look up the link. If you are using c# I can post some code for you. Let me know if you are CF 1.0 or CF 2.0. BTW are you writing a driver I could probably help you better if you let us know the project type you are working on. Emulator by itself does not have command prompt - the OS that is loaded into it migth or might not have it. E.g. Windows Mobile does not ...Show All

• Penicillin Finding Jersey

  Hi, I'm trying to program a map that needs to find a postcode in Jersey (a Crown Dependency of the UK on the coast of France). I can find locations within the UK mainland fine using postcodes but Live Local and Virtual Earth don't seem to recognise Jersey (or any other Channel Islands) postcodes instead placing them in Surrey, UK! Does anyone know if there is a way to force the API to realise the postcode is refering to Jersey (I've tried things like JE2 3RQ,Jersey) or if this is just a bug with Virtual Earth Thanks, Matthew Hi, Thanks for your advice. I tried various formats but for that one, it pops down a box to disambiguate the location between either the dependency or airport (in the situation I'm ...Show All

• mclagett Cannot explain diff in values returned from CTime::GetCurrentTime and ::GetLocalTime

  In using the three methods CTime::GetCurrentTime ::GetLocalTime ::GetSystemTime Using VS2005 Beta 2, I get three different values, respectively, when the local time is 11:58, 2005-11-25: 2005-11-24T15:58:12 2005-11-25T11:58:12 2005-11-24T22:58:12 . Time Zone Information via ::GetTimeZoneInformation shows Bias: -720 Standard bias: 0 Daylight bias: -60 So from all of the above, I can explain the diff in the results between ::GetLocalTime (local time zone == UTC + all bias) and ::GetSystemTime (UTC). But why the diff between ::GetLocalTime and CTime::GetCurrentTime I would have expected these to be the same.

• wencey Custom domain and mailboxes

  Hello, I like the idea for the custom domains and the mailboxes you can add. But the thing I'm missing is support for multiple mail addresses for 1 box. Now my question is.. did I overlook an option (or is it in the SDK) for this Is this option to be implemented I did find the "send as" part, but not the recieve part (the most important one imho). DJM You are referring to a mail alias feature. For example, having mail to sales@mydomain.com end up in john@mydomain.com 's mailbox. This is a popular request and we're working on this feature to release in a later version. Brian ...Show All

• Xcel Live Alerts & Visual Basic 2005

  Hi everyone, I'd like to know if anybody has some sample code using Visual Basic 2005 to send a Live Alert to Windows Live Messenger. I'd like to do some research on this topic but am not really sure where I should start. Are Live Alerts free for business use Thanks, ST Hi ST, the process is simple. Your application needs to create and update an RSS feed . Next, register the feed url with the alerts service , wait a few minutes for a confirmation email and then distribute the subscription link in the confirmation email to your users. That's it. The alerts service will watch your feed and send alerts to subscribers when the feed is updated. ...Show All

• LouArnold Form inheritance

  I have to have form2 inheriting all the methods and variable in form1. but I don't want to have the graphical stuff from form1. how to by pass that because when i specify form2 inherit from form1 and run the program, it shows on the graphical components of form1 on form2. I want to access un button properties on form2 from form1. like changing the button text. I set the visibility to public and still can't see it. I didn't do any inheritance at this point yet. It's kinda silly that we don't have the ability to disable that. but im sure theres a way to do it. Make sure that the variables are declared as public. All properties/methods/me ...Show All

• Amritha Chand Loading pushpins from an external XML file

  I'm trying to build a solution that allows me to add a series of pushpins onto a Virtual Earth map. My ideal solution requires that I load in a number of pushpins from a external XML file. I was excited to see VE's new support for content layers as it sounded exactly like what I was looking for, but after reading the SDK reference, it doesn't look like it's going to suit my needs. VECollection layers are not very usable since they can only be loaded from local.live.com. I've been playing around with the GeoRSS support and I find it really lacking too. The problem is VE's GeoRSS support is that it's just TOO simple (as least as far as I can tell). It does not support HTML code in the description so you are limited to simple popups that ...Show All

• bk13 VS2005 doesn't present the form designer for Pocket PC 2003 Device Application

  Hi, I try to use VS2005 for building a new tool for Pocket PC. When I create a new project of Pocket PC 2003 Device Application, the project is being created, but instead of showing the form designer for building the form, I see a warning message: " Input string was not in a correct format ". This happens as soon as the project is being created, without me interfering. No matter what, I can't get the designer to be presented (and I tried creating a new form from scratch, deleting the form's designer.cs file, etc). The full text of the warning is: at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal) at System.Number.ParseInt32(String ...Show All

• Le Saint random TypeLoadException

  I am having real issues with a TypeLoadException that occurs generally randomly. I've been working on a .NETCF 2.0 app all day, debugging and generally being productive. All of a sudden, with no changes to the assemblies, I get a TypeLoadException on one of the types in one of my referenced assemblies. It's one of my own assemblies, and I checked the manifest and didn't notice anything untoward. // Metadata version: v2.0.50727 .assembly extern mscorlib { .publickeytoken = (96 9D B8 05 3D 33 22 AC ) // ....=3". .ver 2:0:0:0 } .assembly extern retargetable System.Data { .publickeytoken = (96 9D B8 05 3D 33 22 AC ) // ....=3". .ver 2:0:0:0 } .assembly extern retargetable System.Xml { .publickeytoken = (96 9D B8 05 3D 33 22 AC ) ...Show All

• Paul Mitchell How to Load a GIF File into a Bitmap Object?

  Hi all, i have a GIF file that is created from a Bitmap object outside CF using: Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(640, 480); bitmap.Save("temp.gif", ImageFormat.Gif); If i copy this temp.gif to the emulator and try to load it using: Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap("temp.gif"); i get an ArgumentException. However, if i save it as a BMP, i.e.: Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(640, 480); bitmap.Save("temp.bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp); and load it: Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap("temp.bmp"); it loads ok. Is it possible to load a GIF in CF If so, how TIA and Regards, Edwin It is possible to load GIF if your device includes appropriate GIF decoder. It appears your device does ...Show All

• Rama Bharti Collision Detection?

  Is there a way to have the control recognize when two pushpins are on top of each other and draw them with a temporary offset so both pins could be seen   Thanks. ghamm wrote: ... I had to build custom handling for this in my application... Any chance you could share some of your solution I'm hoping this becomes part of Virtual Earth proper. I'm sure they could dig the algorithm out of MapPoint easily. Glenn I don't think there is anything built in yet. I had to build custom handling for this in my application, but it only works when loading a batch of points, and won't detect collisions if I add pushpins one at a time. ...Show All
