• csLearner How to handle a message before the client displays it

  Greetings, I'm programming in C# with Visual 2005. I'm trying to implement an addin for WLM that will make some treatment on an incoming text message. So, I'd want to wait the end of the treatment to display the incoming text message into the "chat window" of WLM. When I handle the event IncomingTextMessage of the MessengerClient class, the text message is first displayed, and then, the event is handled. But I'd want do do the opposite: first handle the message, then make my stuffs, and finally display it. Is it possible And how Thanks a lot.

• mmdawson1 Get network connection notification.

  If there such a thing as the possibility of getting a notification to your application that the PocketPC now has a network connection This is for a Today Plugin application and I don't want to sit there with the code trying to connect every so often as that seems like a waist of resources/processor. There has to be a better way. Thanks Awesome thanks Alex ! :) NotifyAddrChange can be used to detect changes in IP addresses assigned to a device - this would normally occur when device gets connected. On WM5 you can use Service and Notification Broker (snapi.h) to request notifications on change of such values as ConnectionsCount or ConnectionsNetworkCount ...Show All

• Marc DESJARDINS .NET CF 2.0 application occupies lot of memory

  Hello, I have created a .NET Cf 2.0 application which working perfectly fine however as the application is continuosly used over a few hours the program memory goes on reducing till finally at some point it gives a system error and crashes. Also after the crash the memory is not release and the application is also not running after teh crash. Only after a soft reset th memory comes back to normal size. What could I be doing wrong Devices tested on HX4700 (WM 5), HP 2210 (WM 2003), Dell Axim X50 (WM 2003 SE). Hozefa You have a memory leak which you'd need to find and fix.

• roy182 BOTS on MSN

  There have been a number of questions about BOTS in the forum in various theads so I thought I would provide this post with a broader update on the topic. MSN has recently started licensing BOTS on the network.  The huge benefit of a licensed BOT is that it will have contact limitations removed (the reverse list), so that millions of people could connect to the same ID.  Our goal is to enable a broad network of these IM applications integrated with other MSN services (Activity API, Search, etc.). To make sure our customers have the best experience with these applications and provide tools to the broadest number of companies seeking to build BOTS, we have started licensing ISV’s that build platforms with access to our protoco ...Show All

• ykgreene Xml validation

  I greetings to all, threre is an effective way to validate XML in CF I tried to validate it using XmlReaderSettings but it is not effective. So someone knows how to validate an XML Greetings. If you mean validation against schema, validating XML reader is available on NETCF V2 and it works the same way as on desktop. There's no way to validate XML on NETCF V1 unless you do it all yourself. That's properties of files in VS project which are telling VS what to do with the file and when to do it. It's not device specific. Hi thanks for your help. I only copied the file in the same directory of the exe. I tried to launch this example before local to my computer (by double clicking ...Show All

• RossWalkerContractor Setting the width of the vertical scrollbar of a DataGrid possible?

  Is there a way to set the width of the vertical scrollbar of a DataGrid in C# in NETCF (system.windows.forms.datagrid) Could you be a little more specific I don't know how to go about doing that. I managed to change the width of the VSB by overriding the DataGrid Class. and setting (( VScrollBar )( this .VertScrollBar)).Width = 100; I haven't managed to alter the colors yet though. Edit: Unfortunately the VertScrollBar didn't exist in the compact framework. Edit 2: This solved the problem: VScrollBar v = (VScrollBar) typeof (DataGrid).GetField( "m_sbVert" , BindingFlags .NonPublic| BindingFlags .GetField| BindingFlags .Instance).GetValue( this ); v.Wid ...Show All

• Dark Dominion Are background processes supported by Smartphone 2003?

  Hello, I don't know if develop for Smartphone 2003 2nd edition or for WM 5 Smartphone (because of availability of the devices). Now, a doubt has arisen: Can I use applications running in the background In the msdn page, in the " What's New in the .NET Compact Framework 2.0" area, it shows: Background Threads The .NET Compact Framework 2.0 adds support for background threads. Background threads are threads that do not prevent a process from terminating whereas foreground threads will keep a process active until all foreground threads are terminated. Setting a thread's IsBackground property to true makes that thread a background thread. Then, does it mean that background processes are not supported for Smartphone 2003 ...Show All

• Pintoo Khaira prob with syncronizing socket send and recieve. Plzzzzzzzzzz help!

  Hi, My app uses a socket connection to send and receive from a remote server. I've very serious prob with the socket, i.e. synchronizing send and receive on that. The app actually creates seperate threads for sending and recieving. The receive thread, which we call as cmsThread, keeps polling the socket, by calling receive on the socket periodically. From the time i started this app, i had probs with synchronizing the send and recieve. Previously i used lock(this) for both send and recieve, in the socket class that i created. This made my app look hanging when more msgs were sent. I realized that this was because of blocking the thread in send and receive. So i removed the lock statements altogether. But now i've a ne ...Show All
