• Richard Glanmark find a category

  hi, i'm trying to use find(), to search categories, eg train station, Churches, hosipitals.. but i found the results return are not right, is there any other way i can do such kind of search thank you! Yuki thanks... but i think i just stick to VE for the moment ... Yuki Visualbasic No, you can use any language. But we are not talking about client-script in the browser, i suggest you create a asp.net 2.0 webapplication and implement clientcallbacks(Ajax), the callbackfunction then gets the data from the mappoint webservice, processes it for you and sends it back to the browser, which then creates the pushpins via jabbascript. Yes, there is. Yo ...Show All

• nightwish /f 3 no go on CLZ - 0xC000001D (v2 beta)

  Using /f 3 to start up the emulator and running a typical app on that emulator gets me a 0xC000001D on  clz         r2, r6 4.1.12  CLZ   : Architecture version  Version 5 and above   I don't remember this happening in the original emulator.  I ran it again in the original emulator and it died a similar death, but I can't be sure the correct (non-beta) DLLs are being used since I have  8.0.60317.00 (v2 beta) hooked up/registered, even though I started up the original vs8 emulator to run the app (outside of the debugger).  Double-wide loads and dsp instructions seem to work, just not the CLZ (I haven't looked beyond these), so it's not a /f&n ...Show All

• monkeynova Que regarding CeCreateFile and CeGetLastError

  Hi, I have the following code: hDest = CeCreateFile( szDestFile, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, CREATE_NEW, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); dwError = CeGetLastError(); if I were to call CeGetLastError immediately, I get error code ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND but strange thing is the handle hDest is something valid and not NULL. This happens only in my Dopod running Windows Mobile 2005. If I were to run exactly the same code on Xda Windows Mobile 2003, GetLastError will return 0. Is there an explanation for this Thanks! ...Show All

• Mark Benningfield Who has a PPC-6700 Sprint AudioVox Mobile 5 (Can I use GPS?)

  I have the Sprint AudioVox PPC-6700 and I know that it has the built in GPS chipset but everywhere that I search I can not find out how to actually access the API. There are a few of the GPS API references throughout msdn & msdn2 but none have an actual walk through. It is very easy to access the phone API's and contact lists/appointments and whatnot but the GPS is not to be found. As far as the GPS is conserned one could argue that it isn't ment to be programmed or something but the fact is that in all documentation it says that e911 can use the gps and also applications that need your location (such as movie times or resteraunts in your location). I really need to find out how to manage this out even with just a simple quord ...Show All

  im looking for tool to bulk geocode canadian addresses. will have to geocode over 200, 000 addresses at first then 10-20% on daily basis. steph can you shared your code for interacting with mappoint CD for geocoding...or point me in the rite direction. thanks steph well, you can also buy one mappoint 2006 on cd, and let mappoint 2006 do the bulk coding, i am currently doing a mixture of both, cd version and webservice. I also think the cost of using mappoint for 40,000 geocodes a day is going to send you broke. We decided it was worth it to develop in house then spend 200K+ with Mappoint. Its a real pity, mappoint does a good job, get a quote first ...Show All

• LaoZeng calling C dll functions from smartphone2003 emulator

  I've read many forum messages and articles, but I still can't make it work. I have a VS2005 C# smart device project, which should run in smartphone2003 emulator. I also have a dll file, writen in C, which contains several functions. Any attempt to call a dll function from the emulator causes "MethodNotFound Exception". (on the board itself several functions did run, but I don't have it at work). I read a lot about this exception, and checked everything I could. These are the things I checked: I took the dll sources and built a standart windows dll (using VS6). I ran the exe application (from debug folder) with this dll and it works without a problem, so I assume that the problem is either in my project/solution configuration (I ...Show All

• JCube Avoiding/Eliminating the "OK to Reinstall dialog box"

  I've built an enterprise solution that includes both a WinForms app and a Pocket PC app. To facilitate the installation of the mobile app, the WinForms app copies the Mobile CAB file over to the device and then executes it. It works fine except that whenever and update is being installed, it presents the following dialog box: Blah-blah-blah is already installed.
