  Hi, We are currently developing application using WinMobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC using Visual Studio 2005 and Device Emulator 1.0. Everything was working fine till now and the emulator on startup used to get the IP address from the DHCP Server. But all of a sudden, the emulator has now stopped getting IP address from the server.

• Silent.Killer List like Contact list

  Hello, I'd like to create a list like the contact list in Windows Mobile (more than 1 line by item). Does somebody have an idee how to do that. CF 2.0, on Windows Mobile 5.0.

• VSUser2k5 WCELOAD & NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab

  I am trying install NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab using WCELOAD with "/SILENT" via CreateProcess. I am unable to WaitForSingleObject or GetExitCodeProcess as this cab remains ' STILL_ACTIVE' indefinately. I have done this many times for other Cab installs, without any issues. The only difference i am aware of with NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab is that you receive a message 'You must restart the device to complete installation' , if you run this manually. I want to avoid using a 'poke &hope' timer on the GetExitCodeProcess. Can another suggest a way i can monitor the CreateProcess'es completion No, I don't believe /silent is correct for WM 5.0 and I think article is curren ...Show All

How can I solve that Thanks in advance. There's no such message on NETCF (there’s a similar one) so either you using 3 rd party control or you’ve posted to the wrong forum.

• Bernd Wechner Simultaneous GPRS & GSM on Class A device (part 2)

  Hi all! Apparently, an admin locked my previous thread on the subject . I'm not a native English speaker, & I don't live in America either. I'm still wondering something that wasn't answered in the previous thread, & that is not off subject of the theme of this forum. As I said before, I haven't bought any device yet, & the software I'm planning to code is still in the state of project. Let's suppose I have a Class A peripheral, & that my phone provider supports simultaneous GPRS & GSM too, I guess my software to be working both the Windows Mobile 5 (or more) Operating System & the .NET Compact Framework v2 SP1 have to support simultaneous GPRS & GSM too. If either of them don't support it, it will never work, ...Show All

It is nice to have get an ArrayOfAdCenterAccount but I don't see any method to get the size of this array or how I can instanciate an iterator over this array in order to get all the account ids.
