• pinkybaby New devices with .NET CF 2.0

  Is there any information regarding ETA of devices with .NET CF 2.0 Can OEMs choose to release new devices with .NET CF 2.0 or do they have to wait for WinCE 6.0 for this Thanks, Shalin Crossbow has NETCF V2 in ROM. It's going to be released to OEMs fairly soon and devices will come out in several months after that. ETA - less than 12 months to be on a safe side. My concern mainly is to reduce size of the application as well complexity for end user to install and run my application. Currently .net cf 2.0 and sqlce 3.0 increase the size by 8.0 MB on device. All WM 5.0 devices with AKU 3.0 or higher have NCF 2.0 built into ROM now. CE 6.0 should be no ...Show All

• Dennis de Jong want to capture Outlook Message before MS Outlook gets it.

  Hi, I am writing an addin for MS Outlook 2003 using .Net 2003 I want to capture message which come form Exchange Server when we click Send/Receive button before it goes to MS Outlook, and want to perform some task related to attachment, subject,etc..How can I capture this message. And one more thing is it can be achieved by using EDK(Exchange Development Kit) which provide all sort of Interfaces but it would be a dependency if some body is using Linux or some thing else at server for exchange. Im using .Net 2003 and MS Outlook 2003 and also using CDO Library to achieve my goal. First of all this is a wrong forum for you. Second of all you should be able to achieve what you need by creating an Add-in for Outlook. And you'd better of ...Show All

• SPRepublican Example of using delegates and callbacks from managed to native code needed

  In C# I call a function from a native code dll and need to get a callback so I know when to continue. Currently the native code sends a message on successful completion which I can get by overriding WndProc but I think a callback from the native code would be a much better solution. Because the native code writes a file and for various reasons its not really acceptable to constantly be checking to see if the file exists so my managed code needs to know when the successful write occurs. Can someone point me or provide me with some example code of this in action Here's a classic example of using delegate for call back from native to managed. Keep in mind these call backs only supported in NETCF V2. ...Show All

• sybaselu Dynamic TileSource not showing up in 3D

  Hi all, I'm using sharpmap to render some shapefiles as dynamic tile sources, and I've run into an issue with 3D mode.  The same code seems to work flawlessly in 2D mode, so I'm kind of stumped.  Here's the nefarious javascript: function AddHazardLayer(layername, zorder) {  try {   var bounds = [new VELatLongRectangle(new VELatLong(42,-127),new VELatLong(29,-108))];   var tileSourceSpec = new VETileSourceSpecification();   tileSourceSpec.ID = layername;   tileSourceSpec.TileSource = GetTilePath3D() + "&LAYER=" + layername + "&QUADKEY=%4";   alert(tileSourceSpec.TileSource);   tileSourceSpec.NumServers = 1;   tileSourceSpec.MinZoom = 1;   ...Show All

• cplusplus1 Playlist help for WMP11 and Media Player Powertoy for Live Spaces

  Why is there no way to generate URL based playlists within Windows Media Player 11 These Playlists can be generated manually with a notepad but when there are hundreds of links to be added to the playlist it does become trying. Also the Live Spaces Media Player Powertoy has no support for wpl playlists.. why not Hosting such a playlist file and linking the Space to it.. or even just generating a private list of URLs on the Space itself and linking the Powertoy to that where it would us it as a wpl type playlist would be so much more useful. you could have proper picture slideshows and even video slideshows. an audio blog with controls to easily seek through the playlist to a desired date etc, all from the powertoy. ...Show All

• davros51 Image/Graphics delay

  I'm transmitting some graphics (jpeg) from Server to smartphone after an interval of 5 seconds (Running .NET 2.0 CF SP1) The images are not big at all, they are about 40KB-78KB Now it does this fine at first. After a while, it slows down - it seems like it takes twice as long to display the next image being transferred even though there is no timer or anything like this on the smartdevice project, the only timer is on the Server app which works fine (checked this myself) I can see that every 5 seconds not only does it output the image on disk (Server) but at the same time it also transmits it via networkstream. As said, the first few images show instantly but then it gradually becomes slower, taking twice as long to s ...Show All

• ECHS BACHS Java & Windows Live Mesenger Compatibiliy Issues with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

  Ok! I hope someone out there will be able to give me a hand with respect to this issue! I've recently changed from XP over to Vista Ultimate X64 and I have to say I'm starting to get over (and rather frustrated) with the whole "WOW" experience that is Windows Vista! The lack of drivers I can live with but problems with software built by Microsoft is a whole over ball game. Specifically, what my problem relates to is that in connecting up to WLM, the program only takes me as far as the contacts menu before it subsequently crashes with only a pop-up box stating that "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working" whilst simultaneously attempting to obtain a solution of the internet which is consequently not forthcoming. In seeking to obtain ...Show All

• Student_I Reading a Word Document from a .NET Compact C# application

  Dear All; I would like to be able to read a .doc file from a .NET Compact C# application (for Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC). First of all, is it possible I found that in .NET Full Framework, it can be used the Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library. But in .NET Compact Framework, I have no idea...

• Alex MacFarlane Timer invoke between threads

• rKarthik Filestream IOException handling when device full

  Hi, I'm developing a test app to stress the low persistant storage space scenario and have stumbled onto a rather nasty scenario which I simply don't seem to be able to resolve with the .Net CF v1.0 API set. In a nutshell, I am attempting to do the following when there is little or no available storage space left: System.IO.FileStream file = null; try { file = System.IO.File.OpenWrite(fileName); file.Write(somedata, 0, datalen); // Do a number of these file.Flush(); } catch (System.IO.IOException) { } finally { if (file != null) { file.Close(); } } Sometimes, either the file.Write or the file.Flush will generate the exception - from which point it appears to be impossible to recover gracefully as the file.Close wi ...Show All
