• Joel_F Bitmap.Save() in Windows CE5.0

  Hey, I am working on a project using the Symbol MC3000 mobile computing device Running CE5.0 with .NET CF 2.0 SP1). This particular device has an imager which we are using to capture a picture. After the picture is captured, we are creating a bitmap object (System.Drawing.Bitmap) to store the image while we create a Graphics object (with the bitmap as its image). We use the graphics object to post a date/time stamp to the image (drawString()). After that is completed, we are using the Bitmap.Save() method to specify a filename and image format. However, it is crashing on the save with a Not Supported Exception. Here is the code: Dim captureBitmap As Bitmap captureBitmap = New Bitmap(imageStream) 'imageS ...Show All

• Cybersurfer Platform Builder vs VS 2005

  Hi, Does anyone know why the Platform Builder default smartphone build takes 15 minutes to load and provide a responsive gui versus the VS 2005 builds (which take a few seconds) Reid Hi Reid Probably because Platform Builder creates an entire OS image and VS 2005 just compiles an app. Creating a Windows CE OS image using Platform Builder takes about that much (~15 minutes). Hope this explains this. Michael That's pretty close. In Platform Builder scenarios, the emulator is launched with a bootloader ROM (eboot.nb0). This boots in a split-second, then downloads the OS ROM image over ethernet at around 1mbit/second. Once the download is finished, the OS must cold-boot. If you h ...Show All
