• No-spam Sam Retrieving Path of the file

  Hi Friends, I am presently using the path like "\\Program Files\\Images\\image001.gif" But If my application get install on memory card, path may get change. How can we know the path programatically. Thanks in Advance, I assume you want to know the startup path of your application in order to create valid paths If that is the case, you can probably used this: System.Reflection. Assembly .GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase And then ofc wrap a System.IO. Path .GetDirectoryName(<codebase here>) around it to get the path only. If you use that in the very beginning of your application, it should work. (dont put it in a seperate dll as it probably could be stor ...Show All

• BronwenZ How to get vga device emulation

  none of the shortcuts emulate a hidpi device, i.e. vga. i created my own shortcut using the command line args, set video to 480x640x16 and it gave a vga screen, but it was not 'hidpi', it was the same as running sevga on a true vga device, i.e. not what the user normally sees. anyone got proper emulation of a wm2003se vga device With Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, you have an entry called "Pocket PC 2003 SE VGA Emulator".  This will load a Hi DPI 2003 SE VGA image and will behave exactly the same way as a VGA device.  There is a similar entry for the Smartphone emulator. I was using the 2.0 version, but I tried the 1.0 too, didn't work. I'm using a shortcut: target: "C:\Program Files\M ...Show All

• Clein Error MSN Search When Putting Live

  I've just finished testing an implementation of the MSN Search functionality into one of my projects. During debugging and testing on my local machine everything was working successfully, searches were being carried out and everything was fine. However when putting it onto the server I came across an error: The remote name could not be resolved: 'soap.search.msn.com' I believe that the problem will be down to permissions on the server. Before messing around with the permission settings I thought I'd ask and see if anyone else has had this problem and whether or not they managed to solve the issue. Thankyou James Try to check proxy configuration . . . I Have tried setting up the proxy server, stil ...Show All

• Denis Pitcher Threading - using variables declared on the UI.

  Hi all, I have created a thread in my application, that performs many updates to the database, using the following method... WorkerSignOffThread = new Thread(BackgroundProcessing); WorkerSignOffThread.IsBackground = true; WorkerSignOffThread.Start(); private void BackgroundProcessing() { processingDone = false; InspectionManager.FillInspectionGoodAnswers(SelectedInspectionUID); processingDone = true; } ...but as you can see, the FillInspectionGoodAnswers() method uses a variable ' SelectedInspectionUID '. This variable was declared in the Form that declares and starts this thread - is this ok The thread seems to run and update the database ok, but I was under the impression that the threads couldn't use UI objects/controls/ ...Show All

• Abdul Muheed Correct use of Find with callback and index

  Hi Could anyone give any pointers on how to use the find method with callback when changing the index when using wheres and whats. I've implemented a page where you're supposed to be able to navigate through results. When you click e.g. "next results", the index variable is increased by one and the find method fired off again. The next results button/link is only available when findResults.HasMore == true I seem to be getting weird results however. On some wheres and whats I get 1 more pin if I click next. Sometimes I get a lot more but the older pins aren't removed. I tried increasing the index variable by 10 for each click but that isn't the solution. Any ideas Cheers Aled ...Show All

  <deleted> You'd need to make second launched copy of your application notifying already running copy somehow.

• goofaholix GPRS does not autoconnect to its server, C# CF

  Hi, I am writing a C# application for pocket PC which connect to GPRS. I use the following code: HttpWebRequest wr1 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL); HttpWebResponse ws1 = (HttpWebResponse)wr1.GetResponse(); and XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument(); xDoc.load(xmlURL); Both of the above codes work well with no problem as long as GPRS is connected before these codes run (i connect GPRS manually before running the code). However, when the GPRS is not connected, i always get a GPRS connection error when the application tried to initiate the GPRS connection. The GPRS somehow cannot connect to the server. Can you let me know what can possibly go wrong when the above code is executed If something is wrong, what needs to be added so that ...Show All

• Falklian CE 4.2 which framework?

  Hi All I'm new to the CE environment and am trying to write an application for a wireless handheld device. The device has CE 4.2 and I can't get a clear understanding of which combination of development tools I need to install and which framework I need. Can someone point me in the right direction Thanks, Thad CE 4.2 will only run CF 1.1. (2.0 isn't supporting CE 4.2) Visual Studio 2003 works with it. I haven't tried 2005, but it supposed to. You'll need: Visual Studio (2003 or 2005) ActiveSync 3.8 or later Manufacturers SDK to use some of the other CE tools (remote registry editor, etc) If the manufacturer of the CE 4.2 included the CF on the device, you won't need to install it.

  Hello Sir,     I want to register "OCX" control in Windows CE .NET Emulator. For that i copied "my.ocx" into the emulator.
