• bitskull How can I download doc, jpg and other files to PDA via CF.Net?

  Hi all, I really need some advice here - I'm developing a PDA app in Cf.net 2.0 with SQL Server 2005 on the server. The app allows medical professionals to take selected patients data with them when they go out to consult or to hospitals etc and as part of a patient's record there could be associated documents (say, referrals or letters from another doctor or text files or even JPG's/BMP's of xrays, etc) and what I need to do is when the user syncs with the server (via my CF.Net app) those files should be downloaded to the PDA so they can be opened there - so a .doc file will open with PocketWord for example. My problem is literally how to do this! ActiveSynch does this stuff automatically if you copy a file manually but I want to downlaod ...Show All

• iSerg Compact Framework 2.0 sp1 and Visual Studio 2005

  On the compact framework blog it says that Visual Studio 2005 Patch is "in progress" . Is this still in progress or can I download it somewhere Do I need this patch in order to develop apps on CF2sp1 At this point I've uninstalled cf2 and then installed cf2sp1 but all my windows mobile 5 project types are gone. I'm redownloading the sdks so that I can reinstall them but I'm guessing this will wipe out cf2sp1 or will cause some other issues. Let me know how to get cf2sp1 working in vs2005.

• Chris Honcoop XML version of win32 resource file

  Is there a resource compiler/decompiler to convert win32 resource .rc/.res into/from .NET .resx/.resources formats It is well known that .rc files are not easily parsed or manipulated by scripts such as perl. It looks nice. But what I really want is something that can convert rc into xml and back to rc, so that I can manipulate the content using XML tools, without Microsoft format limitations. you can down load this program from : http//www.downloadtaxi.com/d/1188948436 usage : rcconvert ./yourfile.rc note: put yourfile.rc in the same directory. This utility converts .rc file to .resources file, then you can use resgen to convert it to . ...Show All

  Hi, I'm developing an app on vb.net 2005 ppc 2003 emulator with a Sql Server Ce DB. So far the code is working fine and the emulators database is filling correctly with data. If I stop the app in the dev environment and restart it I loose all the DB data although the table structures stay intact.

Its a real pain to ahve to go and et the databack everytime I restart. Thanks Ilya, I do save the emmulator state and do not stop it. The same thing happens even if I save and stop it. After running my code I can go to the emulators query analyser and select all the data I wan ...Show All
