• Smart Device Development multimedia with WM5

  Hi, I am trying to use WMP10 on window mobile 5.0 from c++ and would like to know if I need to install WMP 10 SDK Reference to other useful link or thread related to this topic would be great. cheers, Yes, install the WMP10 SDK.

Also the documentation includes references to WMP10 Mobile and whether the particular functionality is supported on it ...Show All

• .NET Development SOAP complex content - array of strings

Built the simple VB web service and have no problem accessing any string or int method parameters passed from a client to the web service, but I can't access the values of string(), array or arraylist parameters. I've been working plain old Windows apps and services for a while - may need a bit of a refresher. Appreciate any help, but I'd love to see some vb source of a complex SOAP service.
