• Smart Device Development Error calling web service from WinCE 4.20 device

  Hello, i wrote an application for smart devices with C#, Net CF 2.0. This app calls web services running in IIS on my server. The app runs without problems on a WinCE5.0 device and on a WinCE4.20 Second edition device. Calling the web service from a Datalogic Jet running WinCE4.2 - not second edition - with .NET CF 2.0 SP1 fails.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Breakout

  Hello, I have about a year of experence with C# and I have tried a simple game using XNA, I made breakout with some crappy homemade graphics Would anyone mind to look at my code and tell me what I could do better with Note: The game is not completely done yet but for the most part, it works.

• SQL Server SetDefaultInitFields fails for a Column using ExtendedProperties

  Hi, Using SetDefaultInitFields fails for a Column when specifying "ExtendedProperties" as a field. note: SetDefaultInitFields seems to be ok with "DataType" as a field. The exception is "unknown property ExtendedProperties". Thoughts on what might be the issue with loading the ExtendedProperties Thanks, Andy B Following is a snapshot of the test code: System.Data.SqlClient.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Window fully loaded

  Is there a way to check if a window has been fully loaded In particular, I am starting a program with Process.Start This opens up a window where the process is loaded after some time. I am using sendkeys to that window but I need to do it only once the process is fully loaded so that it accepts my keys. In Internet Explorer there is a handy readystate method, but I understand that for other applications, if they do not send this information to the operating system what I am asking may not be available. Thanks, Antonio Thank you for your suggestions, but they did not work for me. My process opens up a character based window and it seems that it does ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using the framework with WinForm controls

  Anyone have any idea on how to redirect the rendering output to something like a winform Panel control, so that I could use the framework for traditional applications Using GraphicsComponent without the XNA appmodel (i.e. Game) isn't going to go very far. The GraphicsComponent needs a Game to own it. If you want to embed rendering in a Windows Form then you'll need to work with GraphicsDevice. op, out of curiosity, why do you want to render into a panel (i.e. is it a tool, multiple views, don't like Game, ...) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Application.LoadComponent() for unreferenced assemblies

  Application.LoadComponent() works well for xaml files that are inside referenced assemblies (ie. added as a project reference). I have a specific scenario where my assemblies will be stored in a subfolder but are not referenced. I still need to be able to call LoadComponent() to load the xaml files inside those assemblies. Is this possible or an unsupported scenario Note that my assemblies would be in a subfolder, relative to the application. I haven't been able to find a solution in the SDK docs. This scenario is a core requirement for the plugin architecture that I am building. Anyone dealt with something like this before I think you should configure with app a little bit by adding the following config file: < xml versi ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactions in SQL CE 2.0 and CF1.1

  Hi world: I have this issue: I need to push rows from CE to SQL Server 2000 and after delete these rows of CE database only if all rows have been sent to SQL Server 2000. I think the best is work with transactions. Since I know I can use transactions for this purpose, can anybody give me a link with push transaction examples System.Transactions are not supported on NETCF, so you can't do both operations as one transaction. You can, however, execute SQL and SQL CE parts in separate transactions using SqlTransaction and SqlCeTransaction classes. Examples can be found on  MSDN . ...Show All
