• Smart Device Development System.Windows.Forms and MissingMethodException

  Hi, I hope I have posted this in the correct forum and I haven't been able to find a previous thread on the subject. My problem is my mobile device, that i recently upgraded to Compact Framework 2.0 (2.0.6103.00 exactly). When I try to run a small windows application on it (imagine a single form with a hello world textbox) I get a Missing Method Exception, referring to that Systems.Windows.Forms coudn't be found. The application runs perfectly on my desktop, so does console applications on the mobile device. So my question is - is it impossible to run windows applications on my mobile device If it is possible - how can I install/connect/upgrade the System.Windows.Forms class into the Framework Yes, it is impossible to run ...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 SOA is a nice ideal but the amount of pain involved in "rolling your own" nearly always outweighs the benefits of having total control. IMHO you are much better off using a predefined sync technology (such as rda, merg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't install KB919156

  Error: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU -- The application pool identity required by Team Foundation Server (TFSWSS) for the content virtual server is not using the Team Foundation Server service account.

• Smart Device Development Check Network Connectivity and Internet Availability

  Hi Experts, I want my application for smart device to check for network connectivity (i.e., whether within range) and internet availability. The following links serve part of my requirement: 1. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=67152&SiteID=1 2. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=693339&SiteID=1 But still I am not able to find out if the device is running in flight mode .

Is there a faster way to do it Regards, Suman Hi Biju / Suman, I have a Windows mobile application and not web based. So how should I be checking the network co ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Image Ghosting & ContentManager questions- BETA 2 issue...

  I have an issue with the BETA 2. I am migrating my Slime Volleyball code (see my site: http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx ProjectName=SlimeVolleyXNA ) over to the BETA 2 framework.   I seem to have an issue with the drawing code. In the old version I had a Slime class that handled a Slime. It drew itself using a Spritebatch in that class (this meant >1 SpriteBatches). I used to have the Slime load it's texture file in the Slime constructor. Now we have to used the ContentManager. This is a little confusing to me. Should I have a ContentManager for each Sprite (Slime and other) or should I pass the default (in Game1.cs) ContentManager to each new Sprite. I have tried this approach but I have a slight image ghostin ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem with Loading Assemblies from Add in

  Hi all, I'm doing an add in for Excel. I want to load dll files using Assembly.LoadFrom(string filePath). However there is the exception: Could not load file or assembly 'DataAccess, Version=1.0.2468.3302, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant permission to execute. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131418) I tried loading same dll file still using LoadForm but in a test console program, it could load.

I run the .NET configuration snapin to evaluate permissions to the dll file, it says "Unrestricted" in all 3 levels. Any idea Thanks in advance ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Share a file to a folder?

  Hi, Is it possible in TFS to share a file between folders. For example I have an xml file that gets managed in one location but I also need it to exist in one of two other physical folders. I tried in VS to add existing item, select the file and click "Add as link" but it does not get added. Any ideas Thanks Donal Hi, I too needed sharing, but gave up on TFS and found the solution in VS itself - just open the project propeties of the project where the xml files need to exist and in the pre-build event write some lines that copy the xml file from it's managed location. This way, before the solution is compiled, the xml will be copied to each of the needed locations, so that ...Show All

• Windows Forms public IList GetItems()

  hi, I wants to know the return type of the following is IList public IList GetItems() whats the use explanation...... Hi, jitendra badkas IList is an interface, and it is generally considered good practice to code to an interface rather than an implementation. This allows the internals of the method to be hidden from the user. Later, if it is discovered that another type of List would be better, the internal implementation can be chanced without the calling programs need to be aware of this change. Hope it helps.Regards.
