• Sideout How to declare a Public Variable in C#

  Hi All, I am a VB developer and I am doing a project using C# in CF. I have created 2 forms and I need to reference a public variable on both forms. Lets say I have Form1 and Form2 and I have a public variable call GlobalVar. I need to have a read/write access on GlobalVar on Form1 and Form2. Any help about this is much appreciated. Many Thanks If you want the variable to be truly global one option is to create a class, and then add a public static variable, this will then be globally accessible e.g. public class MyGlobals { public static in MyGlobalInt = 4; } You can add some additional error checking etc if you keep the variable private but add a public property to get/set the val ...Show All

• adam99 Document's body height and pushpins....

  I have a frustrating problem. The map and the document's body height works great when used without pushpins... However, the document's height gets enlarged when you add a pushpin. This is creating a scrollbar that strangely goes away when you mouseover the pushpin. There is some code below that illustrates the problem. Does anyone know a hack around this Mayber there is a way to force a mouseover with a given pushpin ID Thanks, -Steve <HTML> <HEAD> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <script src=" http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v3/mapcontrol.js"></script > </HEAD> <script> var map = n ...Show All

• Sukh1983 screen resolution

  Hi, we work on small app for Pocket PC 2003 (c++/MFC). I code DLL which creates forms and workmate calls it from main app. Problem is that my forms are four times bigger and not all controls are visible when called from his app. When I test that DLL using my test app all is ok. I tried to add this call to DLL: int cxscreen=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); Now DLL returns 480 when called from my test app and 240 when called from his app. We suppose that problem can be in that he started his project in eVC4 and lately converted it to VS 2005. I am using VS 2005 from start. We both has same iPAQs for tetsing. We probably miss some project setting or something similar, thx for any t ...Show All

• rebelR VS.Net 2003 Installer

  Hi, I am looking for a way to make a smart device installer for my application made with VS.net 2003. I have tried to use the article for VS.net 2005, but the user interface of the IDEs are different. For example, the first step is to make a "Smart Device CAB project" but this isn't one of the project options in the 2003 IDE. I can make a "Cab Project" but I think it could be different than a "Smart Device CAB project". Here is the link I already read for the 2005 IDE. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446504.aspx Does the KB article for 2003 smart device projects still exist I remember reading it several months ago and I bookmarked the link.
