    - Priveleges Needed to Exec() Have you considered it might be a problem with your application, rather than WScript.Shell.exec() What happens if you tell it to launch notepad rather than your app Also, how are you referencing the WScript.Shell object According to the forum search, many others have had no problems using exec() when they create an ActiveX object of type WScript.Shell, so maybe you're just referencing things wrong (for example, if you're assuming that WScript is already there like in a script run from WSH, the privilege escalation might be due to that rather than your executable). BTW, this is why you should always develop apps with UAC turned on . If you write your code with UAC turned off, telling yourself that you'll test it with UAC "later", "later" often doesn't come around and then you contribute to the problem (more UAC prompts) rather than the solution (more secure applications that only escalate when necessary).

    - Will different network providers affect my codebase There should be no differences with different carriers when writing a NETCF program if the device is properly configured to connect to the appropriate network. In general, you can test this by seeing if you can hit the server that you want to access through the browser. If this works then your NETCF program should also work.

Make sure the control is in the registry under HKLM\Software\Classes\HelloWorld.HelloWorld If the control isn't in the registry, it's nothing to do with your gadget code. If I were you, I'd comment out the try and catch wrapper around your code and let it output the error with the line number .

    - creating custom return formats Hi, The current CTP only supports the fixed set of formats that are built into it (XML, JSON, RDF). We're considering adding a feed format and a html-friendly format. Pluggable formatters is also a posibility, but it's a very expensive kind of feature (particularly from the testing perspective), so I'm not sure if it justifies the cost. Besides feed/html formats, I'm not sure what are the scenarios where this can be a must-have feature. If folks out there have specific examples I'd love to hear about them.

    - How to detect power button press Hi Vince, Actually, we can not catch press event on the power button. But, for your requirement, you can use power notification to get notified whenever the device goes into suspend state. (This is also including user press power button to let the device go into suspend). Since .NET Compact Framework does not provide managed APIs to receive power notifications, we can p/invoke the RequestPowerNotifications API in Windows CE to obtain notifications whenever the power state of the device changes. Here is an good article on power notification posted by Anthony Wong: http://blogs.msdn.com/anthonywong/archive/2005/06/07/426392.aspx Hope this can help, Zero Dai - MSFT Tag: Smart Devices VB and C# Projects Boolean Conversion Smart Device Development

    - connection status monitoring Are you trying to build a monitoring application (like HP Open View) which would show all the devices currently online and/or offline This would require that your device periodically send heart-beat or status information to the server. You can use State and Notification Broker (Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState class) on WM with which your program on device can detect if a connection is present or not. If yes than your program can send the connection status information to the server and server can display that the device is connected.

    - Data Source Connection Wizard: "The path is not valid..." I recently updated my HTC 8525 PDA to Mobile 6 and ported a Mobile 5 application to the Mobile 6 SDK. This application uses a SQL CE database in \Storage Card\My Documents. The application recompiled, installed, and runs fine. However, I wanted to add a new form with DataGrid to reference a table inside the database using the Data Source Connection Wizard. When I attempt to choose the data connection for the Binding Object in VS2005 I get "The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database. [Path = Storage Card\My Documents\CVTPAStatic.sdf]" Check the connection and try again. The connection is fine. If I click "New Connection..." and browse I can find the database on the Storage Card but the Data source Connection Wizard still balks. At first I thought this might have someting to do with encryption of the Storage Card (a settings option of Mobile 6). I unchecked this and rebooted the device, removed and re-inserted the micro-SD card but still no help. I hate to have to hand-code this stuff. Anyone seen this or know a work-around Thanks -ear Tag: Smart Devices VB and C# Projects Boolean Conversion Smart Device Development

    - Jasper Data Layer As you note the Entity Framework is not shipping with Orcas RTM and it is shipping as an update to the Orcas .Net Framework. The announcement for that is here . The Entity Framework is the platform that enables us to build services like Jasper and Astoria on top of it. In the future we will be building more services on top of the Entity Framework because it will support providing a conceptual model to any supported backend. As long as their is an ADO.NET Provider to a given backend database then that backend will plug into the Entity Framework and services like Jasper and Astoria will just work. Regarding your comment about LINQ. We do support LINQ in this CTP release of Jasper, however only Linq to Objects is supported. While we were working on this CTP we did work to have our dynamically generated classes and collections upport LINQ; essentially providing the ability to translate LINQ queries to the backend query language. This support is available to in the Entity Framework in the form of LINQ to Entities. Unfortunately, due to limitations in VB.NET 9.0 and Iron Python 1.1, we were unable to support translation of these LINQ quries to appropirate backend query language. Supporting LINQ in our dynamic laguages (VB.NET, Iron Python, Iron Ruby, etc) is extremely important and we are currently working with teams across the compnay to get this working. In the mean time, if you would like to perform queries that are translated to backend queries and provide these optimizations you can always use Entity Sql. For example if you were connected to Northwind and wanted to return all the customers that were from "France" you would write the following code: Code Snippet context = DynamicContext.CreateDynamicContext(connectionString) For Each customer In context.Customers.Where( "it.Country = @Country" , New Objects.ObjectParameter( "Country" , country)) Console.WriteLine( "Customer " & customer.ContactName & " from " & customer.Region & " has the following orders:" ) For Each order In customer.Orders Console.WriteLine(vbTab & "Order was placed on " & order.OrderDate & "and need to be delivered by " & order.RequiredDate) Nex t Next Here we've iterated over each customer that is from a specific country. We only return from the database those customers, and their orders, that come from that specific country. Does this make sense Thanks, Carl Perry Program Manager ADO.NET Tag: Smart Devices VB and C# Projects Boolean Conversion Smart Device Development

Is there any way to convert a bool variable to a bit. When I read values from the database using the Sql reader I can get the boolean value of a bit field using the reader.GetBoolean(). However, I want to be able to convert this boolean value back to a bit and write to a database. Is there any way to convert bool back to bit

Re: Smart Devices VB and C# Projects Boolean Conversion

Ilya Tumanov

ADO.Net data provider should do that automatically.

If you having difficulties please post your code and exact description of the problem including stack trace, exception type, exception message and errors from error collection for SQL/SQL CE exceptions. Don��t forget to specify like exception is thrown from.

Re: Smart Devices VB and C# Projects Boolean Conversion

Anthony McGary

Discovered the solution. If you want to convert a bool variable for example bool b = true to a bit. Use the Convert.ToByte(bool value). For example Convert.ToByte(b) will convert bool variable b into a bit 1 or 0.
