• Smart Device Development Accessing POOM from C#

  Using C# in Visual Studio 2003 .Net I'm trying to access the POOM Contacts list. Long ago I built a simple program with eVB to do something similar but after reading dozens of links I still can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone shed some light Robert W. Vancouver, BC Should there be ”much simpler way”, there will be no 3rd party toolkit, right But you are correct, there’s a way but only on WM 5.0. So, you have these options: Drop support for older devices (pre WM 5.0), upgrade to VS 2005 and use WM 5.0 features. Purchase 3 rd party toolkit, it should work on all devices but you probably want to verify that with manufacturer. Code everything yourself. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem executing procedure and how can I use their results in a select statement

  I have this Stored Procedure that walk through a table that stores hierarchical data and reorganize the output, so the resultset will be ordered by this hierarchy.

• Visual C# Passing a reference argument using ref

  Hi, I have two classes A and B. I need to pass A to B so that when a graphic symbol in B is clicked it modifies code in A. i.e code in B needs to modify code in the passed class A. public class B(ref A m_a){ } Several classes( C and D) use class B and I have a class hierarchy such that C and D are derived classes of A. I am having problems with conversion error messages when trying to pass references of derived classes. i.e B b = new B(ref D) the compiler says that it cannot convert D to A Is it possible to pass a reference object by reference when the object is a derivative (like above ) I am trying to pass by ref so that an object of B does not get loaded by the object D. I only want to pass the address and h ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Event Target

  Hi Chapter 8 of specification gives the larger picture of Event Processing. It says that user events are fist processed by the script and after that markup gets chance to process the event. eg if a user presses a navigation key then first the script (through event handlers ..if one is regestered ) first processes the gesture and after that (if allowed by script) the markup processes the gesture --changes the focus to the next element (depending on the navigation key). If the above is correct then this means the target for the keyboard events is always the current focused element. One exception might be access ( or shortcut) keys in which case the target is the element for which the short key is defined. ie script cannot override the acc ...Show All

All 3 taskes i.e. Publisher creation, Article Publish, Snapshot agen starting. All are ok. However after replication is done when checking the Status of the Snapshot Agent it is not Running, and I cannot make it Run as well.

• Software Development for Windows Vista CallExternalMethod is not called

  Hi! Good Day! I'm new to WF and so far I have developed a sequential workflow, something like a helpdesk application, and I would like to ask for your help regarding some issue that I encountered. Basically what the system does is the system will wait til a User creates a ticket. Then it will be approved or disapproved by another user (Approver). If the ticket has been disapproved, the system will send the User the status of the ticket. But if the ticket has been approved it will go then to another user (Provider) to give solution or escalate it. Then it will send the status to the User. Here the problem goes, the CallExternalMethodActivity is called only if I press the button twice to Approve the ticket, which internally call ...Show All

• .NET Development Unique name for the validation report

  Hi, I have developed a tool for generating a validation report. The tool reads off huge volume of data and checks for invalid data(records). Any invalid record found is spitted out into a report. Right now, the tool is designed in such a way that each time the tool is run, the same report (say validation_report.txt) gets overwritten with a different set of invalid records. My question is: How can I create a report with a unique file name everytime the tool is run..(like validation_report_1.txt, validation_report_2.txt..etc) I was looking at threads as an option..where each thread would generate a different report. Would that make it too complicated is there a simpler way of doing it Thanks ...Show All
