• kconcept update UI from Thread - control.invoke or controlinvoker?

  This is a CF 1.0 application. I need to load an image in a background thread and use it in the UI thread. I'm a little confused. There have been tutorials that have the background thread write to a public variable in the Form, then Control.Invoke when they're finished to have the UI thread update the form. (No locking). This looks very simple, I'd like to do it this way. The following is the way the tutorial described - the thread writes directly to the Form, but not to any control on the form. Is that "legal" public class MainFrame : Form { private int progressBar1Status = 0; public MainFrame() { InitializeComponent(); DoThreading(); } public void DoThreading() { Thread t = new Thread( ne ...Show All

• Salman Maredia A byte[] to unmanaged code is still an object?

  All, Just wondering how the compiler interprets simple objects like byte[]. I can still call methods and access fields of the array like an object, but when I pass the byte[] to a unmanaged function it is treated as a memory block. What happens to the 'object' part of the byte[] when it's passed over. Is there a conversion from managed-unmanaged or some funky stuff happening in the compiler to treat it as an object Thanks Ilya. So from what you are saying there is a conversion that takes place from managed <-> unmanaged when the passing is done Or is it just a pointer to where the object keeps the memory There is no conversion. When you pass an array of simple type to a P/Invoked function, the marshaller pins it and ...Show All

• Ms_user Multi point route

  Hi, Simple question...is it possible to have a route with multiple stops on it. I don't want to just go from A to B, I want to go from A to B to C to D. Is there something I'm missing or is this a fundamental omission Hope someone knows Cheers I asked Alex Daley ( http://blogs.msdn.com/virtualearth/default.aspx ) from the Virtual Earth team and he said there are no plans to include support for routes with more than two points on the Virtual Earth Mapping Control at this point. Hi, Thanks for the sample code, but I would like to know whether is it possible to mark multiple routes for more then 2 pts or not and whether this is really will be part of a coming release or not.. ...Show All

  Hi, My problem is described pretty much in the title. I am using VS 2005. I have some code to use in a Pocket PC 2003 application and it is written in C/C++. What is the suggested way to do this I tried to use the DLL in a PPC project but since it is desktop DLL, i failed to do that. I tried to compile the code in a Smart Device project, i failed to do that too (couldn't find files like wincon.h, io.h, etc)...This code was written to be used in desktop applications. I think this must be a frequent problem that Smart Device developers encounter but I really couldn't find a way to solve this either through forum-search or google. Thanks for any help...

• Khin System.Windows.Forms and MissingMethodException

  Hi, I hope I have posted this in the correct forum and I haven't been able to find a previous thread on the subject. My problem is my mobile device, that i recently upgraded to Compact Framework 2.0 (2.0.6103.00 exactly). When I try to run a small windows application on it (imagine a single form with a hello world textbox) I get a Missing Method Exception, referring to that Systems.Windows.Forms coudn't be found. The application runs perfectly on my desktop, so does console applications on the mobile device. So my question is - is it impossible to run windows applications on my mobile device If it is possible - how can I install/connect/upgrade the System.Windows.Forms class into the Framework Well, just create a new Smart ...Show All

• turczytj set camera speed?

  Is there a way to modify the camera speed when it "flies" to a new position in VE3D Sometimes when the internet connection is too slow the camera ends up at a really bad looking spot (large tiles, e.g. the square where the city is supposed to be) and it takes a moment to load the more detailed tiles. So it would be nice if one could control the camera to slow down short before the target is reached to gain some time loading closeby tiles before going in the full way - would look nicer... Is there a way to do this There is no way to set the animation speed in the current control, but it's a common request. And yes, a new thread with wish-list items that you would like to see would be ve ...Show All

• Fiddel WebBrowser control: when navigating - throws exception and opens Pocket IE

  Hello. I'm writing an application where I'm using a webbrowser control. Displaying local HTML files works fine, but not remote ones. Whenever I use the WebBrowser.Navigate method to open an URL, I get an unspecified exception (see below) and then the URL is opened in Pocket IE, where everything works fine. I thought this might have something to do with the STAThreadAttribute since the MSDN help mentions something like that. Now I got told that there is not STA-Mode for NetCF. So what else might be the problem Here's the call stack for the exception: bei Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr() bei System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.Navigate() bei System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.Navigate() I don't know if it's of any importance, but the HResult ...Show All
