    - How to use a c++/MFC ActiveX control in a sidebar gadget ? Hi, I am stuck. Please tell me how to use a MFC ActiveX control from inside a gadget, when I don't have the DLL of it ( since there's no template in VS to create a MFC activeX control DLL ) . How can I use it in my gadget then I went through the earlier examples and they were either concerned with VB or the DLL version of the ActiveX. I created a MFC ActiveX control ( using a standard VS template ) . The name of the project is " MyActiveX " and the name of the class ( to which I added a method to return a CString ) is " MyActiveXCtrl " CString CMyActiveXCtrl: tringprint(){ CString string1; string1=_T("Hello world"); return string1; } ( The above is the function that I added to the class ). I compiled the above program and there were no errors reported. ( This also means that VS registered the ocx files ) Now, I tried creating an object using var myControl=new ActiveXObject("MyActiveX.MyActiveXCtrl"); However, the above line gives the error " Automation server can't create object " , when I try to run the Html file in the sidebar or in the browser. What am I doing wrong here And how can I correct it Please help. Tag: .NET Compact Framework Debuging Smart Device Projects Smart Device Development

    - MRU again I noticed that if an application is present inside "Programs" folder, after you execute it, it will displayed on top of the MRU list within Start Menu (for Pocket PC). But if the application is not inside "Programs" folder, after you execute it, it will not show up in the MRU list. Also, if the same application, which is inside "Programs" folder, is launched via one of those hardware buttons on the PPC, it will not show up in MRU list. My question is, was the above observation true If it is, the only way for an application to show up in MRU list is for user to launch the app from within "Programs" folder. This is a little bit odd.

    - Program Create is a newer verison of the .NET Compact Framework than then version on mobile device You need to install whatever NETCF version your application is designed for (probably NETCF V2 SP2 but of course you must know better which version you’re using) on to that device. Also, as owner of VS 2005 you can redistribute NETCF CAB file or NETCF MSI (which installs CAB files via Active Sync) with your application. MSI can be downloaded here .

    - prob in inputting text to PPC emulator I don't know for sure. But since you mentioned that it used to work and then later on stopped working, it seemed to me that some transient error had occured. Since Save-state store the state of emulator (memory, register, peripherals) etc and brings down the OS into power-down mode, so it seems that emulator got into some bad state in save-state file. In the absence of clear repro, it is best to remove the save-states for these issues which were not present but start coming later on due to some transient failure or emulator bug. -Thanks, Mohit Tag: .NET Compact Framework Debuging Smart Device Projects Smart Device Development

    - Call ActivateDevice from managed code I'm trying to start the WLAN card of an HTC Prophet after a soft reset of the device. The WLAN card does not switch on automatically after a reboot and we do need it in our application. To load the driver from inside our application I'm using the ActivateDevice function like this: [ DllImport ( "coredll.dll", SetLastError = true )] public static extern IntPtr ActivateDevice( string lpszDevKey, int dwClientInfo); IntPtr testPtr = ActivateDevice( @"Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Custom\MANF-0001-CARDID-0000-FUNC-1" , 0); This function call always returns zero, but I have checked the registry and the entry is definitely there. Is the pinvoke call wrong Or am I missing something else Tag: .NET Compact Framework Debuging Smart Device Projects Smart Device Development

    - Low Memory Resource File error I ended up doing something like this: Code Snippet class Skin { enum Pictures { MyPic1, MyPic2, } private Dictionary<Pictures, Image> _imageCache = new Dictionary<Pictures,Image>(); public Image MyPic1 { get { if(!_imageCache.ContainsKey(Pictures.MyPic1)) { //Images is my resource file's class _imageCache.Add(Pictures.MyPic1, Images.MyPic1); } return _imageCache[Pictures.MyPic1]; } } public Image MyPic2 { get { if(!_imageCache.ContainsKey(Pictures.MyPic2)) { //Images is my resource file's class _imageCache.Add(Pictures.MyPic2, Images.MyPic2); } return _imageCache[Pictures.MyPic2]; } } } That way my image loading was a form of lazy initialization, no image is pulled from the resource file until you use it. In the above mentioned way, your class would load all of your images just before it's static constructor. My app was modular, and not every part of the app is loaded in each situation. So lazy init was the way to go. Tag: .NET Compact Framework Debuging Smart Device Projects Smart Device Development

    - send MMS Dear subho, Since your Pocket PC is based on windows mobile 2003, we cannot implement this functionality with ease. There's no managed class support it, and the class used to send an email is only supported on windows mobile 5.0 or later version . But we can still use MAPI with native C++ . We can dig in detail on IMessage and IMAPIFolder interfaces. IMAPIFolder::CreateMessage() // use this to create a new email IMessage::CreateAttach() // use this to create an attatchment For more information, see : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms837571.aspx Hope this can help you.

    - Re-install/upgrade doesn't work This is an extremely irritating and in fact costly behaviour. My app which was working fine under PPC 2003 now deleted all the data that was in the database when I went to install an upgrade, because the db file is initially installed with the program. Luckily I discovered it after the first install and didn't lose any data, however, it could have been disasterous if the database hadn't had a chance to push all the transactions up to the server before it upgraded. It is particularily annoying because it deletes all the registry keys that were installed with the program as well, so even though I created all these registry settings using the program, they all got deleted because they were in the tree. PLEASE change this behaviour or give us more control of the installation functions I.E. an UPDATE Project. The only installation option we have in VS is to create a CAB file and we cannot create any custom processes without writing a native setup.dll.

    - How can I filter Types in Designer classes based on Platform Target? I have a Library Dll that I have built for Windows CE, Pocket PC, and Smartphone. For that I have three library projects compiling the same code but for different targets. I'm using XMTA files to filter types based on the target Platform. For example, I have a class ClassA supported for PocketPC but not supported for Smartphone and a ClassB supported for both platforms. Both of these classes are implementing an abstrat class Foo. public abstract class Foo { } public class ClassA : Foo { } public class ClassB : Foo { } Under the PocketPC project this XMTA file contains something like: < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " utf-16 " > < Classes xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2004/03/SmartDevices/XMTA.xsd " > < Class Name = " MyLibrary.ClassA " > < DesktopCompatible > true </ DesktopCompatible > ... </ Class > < Class Name = " MyLibrary.ClassB " > < DesktopCompatible > true </ DesktopCompatible > ... </ Class > </ Classes > When for Smartphone, my XMTA file contains: < Classes xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2004/03/SmartDevices/XMTA.xsd " > < Class Name = " MyLibrary.ClassA " > < Supported > false </ Supported > </ Class > < Class Name = " MyLibrary.ClassB " > < DesktopCompatible > true </ DesktopCompatible > ... </ Class > </ Classes > Up to there everything is working perfectly in VisualStudio 2005. When I create a Smartphone project and reference my Windows CE class library, ClassA is invisible from Intellisense or the Toolbox. If I try to force the reference of it, I get a compilation warning. ClassB is visible and can be used. But here is my real issue, I'm using a Designer class for another class in my library, and I try to get the list of Type that implement Foo. For that I'm using the following code: ITypeResolutionService typeResolution = ( ITypeResolutionService )GetService( typeof ( ITypeResolutionService )); Type fooType = typeResolution.GetType( "MyLibrary.Foo, MyLibrary" ); ITypeDiscoveryService typeDiscovery = ( ITypeDiscoveryService )GetService( typeof ( ITypeDiscoveryService )); ICollection types = typeDiscovery.GetTypes(fooType, false ); And I get three Types, the abstract Foo type, ClassA, and ClassB. I can filter the Foo type because it's abstract but how can I filter the Type ClassA based on the actuall project type Tag: .NET Compact Framework Debuging Smart Device Projects Smart Device Development

    - use web service for pull? Dear friend, 1. "SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection(dataSource);" No, here "dataSource" means a connection string for your local Sql mobile database, since the instance here is type of SqlCeConnection. 2. "string sql = String.Format("select * from {0}", tableName)" Here, {0} is just a token for the second parameter. After executing this statement, the content of sql is "select * from <tableName>". And Yes, the tableName is your mobile db table.

Techna

When debugging a smart device project visual studio deploys the DLLs that are referenced by the project to the application path. For example system.windows.forms.dll, system.draweing.dll.

This happens even when the latest versions of the DLLs are present in the GAC and/or the application path. This is slowing down debugging as deploying these DLLs takes 3-4 minutes every time.

Is there any way to stop this happening

Re: .NET Compact Framework Debuging Smart Device Projects

Ilya Tumanov

That means you have a reference to one or more desktop assembly, directly or indirectly. That also means your application is invalid. Make sure to find and remove it. See this.

One of the projects in my class library was a desktop .NET class library, changed to .NETCF and all is working as expected.

Thanks.
