• Smart Device Development No sqlserverce.dll file with Windows Mobile 5.0 Smart Device SDK

  Hi all, I have installed Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Smart Devices and Pocket PC but still don't have the SQLserverce.dll on my PC. Should this have come down with the install If not, then how am I suppsed to get hold of it Thanks It's not supposed to be in GAC on your desktop, it would be in GAC on device after SQL Mobile CAB is installed. SQL Mobile is not part of NETCF so this DLL can not be found in NETFC location you've mentioned. By default it should be here: "%ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\SQL Server\Mobile\v3.0\" If you don't see it, try system wide file search. If that fails as well, you probably don't have SQL Mobile MSI installed - either it was removed or installation initi ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot find a Datatable

  It s C# .NET project on VS2005. I have a DataSet. At one point it is filled with Tables, 15 in all. A few moments later a TabPage MAY be generated and a graphics control object is set up on that page. The DataSource for the graph is one of the DataTable(s) in the DataSet. The graphic comes out OK. The trouble is , the situation is dynamic and I have a stream of records coming from a server which a portion of my app sorts out and distributes between the tables. At the moment the graph was created the DataTable in question may have let say 10 rows. I see all the values on the graph. A few seconds later a new record may arrive that logically belongs to this table and my code begins to look for the DataTable with this index and I get Mes ...Show All

• .NET Development Post Data to web.

  Hello, i would like to POST something to an php page, like a contact form, which the user fill in, it posts to a php page, and the php page will do his work. Does anyone know how to do this What would even be better is to see the reaction of the php page, so the user can see if the contact form is posted correctly. I hope someone understands me, and someone can help me. Thanks Chris You can do this very easily with the WebRequest class and the POST method (instead of GET)... take a look at this sample code for an example of how to do it. ...Show All

• .NET Development How I can use COM-port if its uses by another process ?

  Hi all. I have a class which works with some hardware device connected to my PC through COM-port. When I`m trying to create an instance of my class there's exception occured: UnauthorizedAccessException. It happens often but not all the time (!). It may happens right after reboot the computer. I think this is because COM-port is used by anothor process in OS. But I'm sure that there's no any program which can use this port except mine. So how I can release all sources which can work with COM-port and then connect to this COM-port from my class p.s.: I use SerialPort class in .NET 2.0. I think you diagnosed this correctly, a program is already using the serial port. Sharing access is out of ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to make certain variables global to all forms? (C#)

  I have this problem.. my main form class (MainForm) declares some variables that should be global, in a sense. Let's say my app, at startup, loads a bunch of user data.. into a list (List<UserInfo>). I want that list available application-wide. So if a preferences dialog opens up, and it needs to populate a ListView with that List<UserInfo>, it can. What is the best way to achieve this, in C# Here's a good scenario illustrating this problem I've mentioned.. how would you go about tackling this: Let's say the context is a poker simulator. You've got a Seat class (where a player sits).. it's got a PlayerName property, Balance, and a Hand. Hand is a class that consists of two Cards. This is all pr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) .Net Remoting two times faster than WCF!

  In our healthcare enterprise multitier application the .Net Remoting transports are two times faster then WCF(we have plugable client/server transports): Measuring results for the same couple of client server requests: -> Tcp Remoting: 3.4 seconds -> Http Remoting (IIS-Hosted): 3.5 seconds -> Tcp WCF: 6.5 seconds -> Http WCF (IIS-Hosted): 7.3 seconds -> Http WCF (IIS-Hosted) with MTOM: 10.3 seconds Security: We just use authentication by NTLM Serialization: We use the NetDataContractSerializer, and not the DataContractSerializer (RPC style) Can WCF be tuned to be as fast as remoting The use of MTOM which replaces text by binary data makes the communication slower.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do you walk the controls in a XAML page?

  As I recall, in Windows I would do something like get the window handle, then find its children in order to enumerate the controls on a form. I'd like to do the equivalent in WPF, but not sure where to begin. Do I have to parse xaml (hope not) or is there a way to navigate the tree that contains the elements on a given pane/form. Please advise Thanks Hi Nick, I also face the same issue.I need similar control hierarchy as it was available in .NET 2.0. VisualTreeHelper doesn't suit as it returns all visual elements. LogicalTreeHelper also doesn't work as it doesn't display Items which are generated at run time. So what I did was I iterate in VisualTree and check if the element is control, if yes then I use that control. ...Show All

• SQL Server Which method to use for synchronization?

  I have three options in my mind to synchronize my data of sql server compact edition with sql server 2000/sql server 2005. 1)Merge Replication 2)Remote Data Access 3)Web Service All the data would be residing on Sql server 2000/2005 and user will get their data after being authenticated and will change the data and add new data and then again will synchronize with server with new changes. Please suggest me solution, my opinion is going towards Web service. Thanks howdy, if you are after a client/server free, over http, loosley coupled approach then a service oriented architecture using web services for synchronisation is the way to go. This is outlined nicely (at a high level) in the ...Show All

• Visual Basic open a file with many options

  I need to be able to open a file with a very long set of options and was wondering if visual basic can do something like that. The link would look something like this: "C:\Program Files\program folder\program.exe" D:\folder\file1.aatrend D:\folder\file2.aatrend D:\folder\file3.aatrend D:\folder\file4.aatrend etc. etc. The length of the options and filename path are too long to be contained in a normal link. So I was thinking that perhaps I could create a small vbscript that all it would do is open the program with each of the files named. If it's possible, how do I do it and/or where do I learn more about it If your trying to create an application that takes in command line parameters t ...Show All
