• Smart Device Development Application terminated unexpectedly, and no any message

  Hello I'm creating an application on Windows Mobile 5 using c#. This application uses the WebBrowser control to show a specific website. The problem that i am having occurs when the app runs on the device. (Motorola Q). For some strange reason the application shuts down as soon as it gets to the line : this.webBrowser1 = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser(); which is in the InitializeComponent() method. It does this without an exception. When i connect the device and debug from VS.net 2005. The app shut off and i get a cannot connect to this device message. I've couple questions: 1.

• SQL Server Looking for suggestions

  I have two stored procedures (l'll call them P1 & P2). P1, after a lot of processing, creates a temporary table that is used by P2 after an "exec P1" is done. I've separated the logic into two stored procedures because, ultimately, other sprocs will need the output of P1. I get an error if I use #tempTable as the output table in P1 because it no longer exists after P1 finishes. ##tempTable works, but I'm concerned about concurrency issues. Any suggestions on what construct(s) I should be using Thanks in advance! I totally agree. In fact, I would probably suggest (based on the phrase "lot of processing") that you create a couple of permanent tables. One to hold the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using wimgapi.dll with VB6 - WimApplyImage causes VB6 IDE to freeze?

  I'm writing some code to use the wim imaging api wimgapi.dll with VB6. The code works 100% on capture, with the callback function correctly getting progress information and updating my form with progress bar etc. This works fine when run from within the IDE or from the compiled .exe. The apply image code is a problem though - the WimApplyImage code locks up the IDE part way through. When run from the compiled exe, I get no progress messages to the callback - I do get all the process messages though, and it actually works in that it correctly applies the image, but it stops updating my form until it exits the WIMApplyImage function. Anyone have any ideas I've tried registering the callback both immediately before the WimApplyIma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Storing Stuff

  Dear All, This may seem a little simple to some of you but its been slowly winding me up for a while now, so any pointers or advice would be greatly received. What I'm looking to do is store information inside my application, with out using a database (I mean Access, SQL etc.) I have used *.bin files in the past but I'm not sure that they would meet the needs of what I need to do. The project is for a small charity and so far has about 850 records that they wish to store, they mainly use open source or freeware and need to be able to move the data between desks and back it up on a daily basis. Also some times they are not connected into the network so a local copy of the said information needs to be copied to the local machine. ...Show All
