• Raihan Iqbal Having problems with smart device app. usiing .NET 2003(C#)

  Hi Folks, I am trying to develop a smart device application using .net 2003. I click on C# and Smart Device Application and then click on OK. When I click on "OK" the "Smart Device Application Wizard" appears and I do not see any options under the heading "What platform do you want to target ". Normally, you should see "window ce" and "pocket pc", but neither of the two options are visible. Also, under the heading "What type of project do you want to create " you would normally see - "Windows Application", "Class Library", "Windows Control Library","Non-graphical Application","Empty Project", but none of these options appear in ...Show All

• Joreatha How to use RegisterRunningDevice

  Hi all !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm on an important project of network device developping. I made a UPNP AV Control Point that works very well. Now I'm building a MediaServer device and I'm facing a problem about register the device. I did my own implementation. Since it doesn't work, I tried the example provided by the microsotf SDK and I get the same error after calling IUPnPRegistrar::RegisterRunningDevice. the return result of the function is 8004a025. I searched the meaning of this value and I didn't obtain anything. If somebody can know the meaning of this or the causes of non-running of this function, I'm waiting your contibutions because without running the function I canont progress. Thank you very much. ...Show All

• Sam Bendayan Serial Port problems

  Hi. Running Imate SP5m with .NET CF 2.0 SP1 I have contacted Imate (on the side: poor support) who confirm that Raw/Serial IR access is possible and is on COM3. In the registry it says COM4. Anyway... If I use the serial Port class to open COM4 and write to it, I have the issue where when we do a serialport.write("hi");, the application does nothing. it just hangs, no exceptions are thrown. It does not even get to serialPort.Close(); If I use the serial Port class to open COM3 and then write to it, I get an exception @ serialPort.Write("hi");: at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.WinIOError() at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.Write() at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Write() at SerialIrTests.Form1.mnuStart_Click() at System.Windows.F ...Show All

• ImAGeek Get address on user click

  Hi, I've just started using Virtual Earth... It's possible to get the address from the clicked point Thanks! I suspect this may be using the MapPoint Web Service Thanks to both of you...

Simply right click a location on the map, then click the "about this location" link. Using GeoNames: http://www.geonames.org/export/reverse-geocoding.html To get the address from a lat lon you need to look into reverse geocoding. Virtual Earth does not do this.

• Robhale77 System.CF namespce missing

  I'm using .Net Compact Framework 2.0SP1 and VS 2005. VS2005 doesn't recognise any System.CF* namespaces. Any ideas If there's no updated version, it should be possible to use it in V2 from code without designers. Just make sure to reference _runtime_ version of the control, not design time version. When I try to add a third-party control to my toolbox I get a message like: "There was an error loading types from assembly... Could not load file or assembly 'System.CF.Windows.Forms, Version..." do I just have a dodgy dll That's because there are no System.CF* namespaces. The .NET CF 1.0 designer support for Visual Studio.NET 2003 has a file ...Show All

• Nate879 Radio Interface Library Privileged APIs

  Which RIL functions are priviliged It is not clear from the MSDN page whether these APIs are privileged or not (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms924486.aspx). Many of the SMS functions appear to be, but RIL Proxy specific functions are not well documented. Thanks, in advance. Chris As with Chris, I am looking for specific information about signal strength, bit error rate, towers available, etc.  There will be a growing number of applications, particularly for enterprise, rather than entertainment, use - that will require better access to the RIL information than what is currently provided (by Windows Mobile 5.0 SNAPI).  Hopefully Microsoft is able to accommodate those needs in the next release.  - Hank ...Show All

• PQSIK GUI elements not coming up

  Hi, I have a windows mobile 5.0 for pocket pc phone (g-Smart i). Once when I restarted, the GUI elements are not coming up (except for the title bar which contains phone status icons). I could still connect through activesync and browse the registry, processes, windows and even load and execute new process.

• carda ExtractIconEx problem

Having done this without problems in PC windows before, I wrotemade the following code: HICON hicon = NULL; if (!(hicon = ::ExtractIconEx(_T("\\Program Files\\ProtoApp\\icon2.ico"), 0, NULL, &hicon, 1))){ ..... //some error handling code } The icon file in question is definitely there; I've checked over and over, with someone else to make sure, that the path is absolutely correct without spelling. The icon was made in VS2005, and contains exactly ONE icon 16x16 with 16 colors (which is recognized as the system metric's specifications for small icons).

• Miao1106 C# Device Applications Serial Port

  HelloI am trying to link a Windows application with a device application. Windows divice applications have a serial control so I though I could link them together using a virtual comm port.

• Etienne Meunier Form inheritance

  I have to have form2 inheriting all the methods and variable in form1. but I don't want to have the graphical stuff from form1. how to by pass that because when i specify form2 inherit from form1 and run the program, it shows on the graphical components of form1 on form2. In Form2's Load event, you could set Visible = False for the controls you don't want to see. Marc's approach is the right OOP way. That's going to be extremely difficult to do just because the designer is always going to get in your way. There are probably 2 ways to do this and you can decide whichone is best for you . Method #1 - Probably the easiest but not the best method FormA - Move all of your methods here Form1 i ...Show All
