    - PPC application does not update sdk database from emulator? Thanks for the replies but I have figured it out. You need to add the .sdf file to your project first. Then map a path to the location of the .sdf file in the emulator so when it opens the program will look at and update the DB on the emulator not on your computer. Thanks guys.

    - SQL Server Compact table not getting data edits made in datagrid from vs05 c# Ilya, Thanks for replying on my issue. In response to your points: (1) I did a sample project based on the tutorial where on the Main Form I have a datagrid and a button. The Edit and View forms were auto generated as in the MSFT tutorial I referenced. In the button click event on the data grid form I have the following code: private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { this .traineesBindingSource.EndEdit(); this .traineesTableAdapter.Update( this .fitnessJournalDataSet.Trainees); this .Close(); } When the edit form closes I see my insert or edit in the datagrid on the main form, but once closes do not see it in Database. (2) I checked and I did not add any code to call AcceptChanges() nor did I find it any where in the project. (3) I have the option to redeploy the database only when newer. Also, I check the database file timestamp from the DEBUG folder immediately after closing the Emulator and it never changes. Please let me know if you have any additional thoughts as I am still having the same issue. Thanks, John. this .traineesTableAdapter.Update( this .fitnessJournalDataSet.Trainees); Tag: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image Smart Device Development

    - SDF (storage card) database connection fails after hibernation VB Not good i'm afraid ... I'm not a full time programmer (ie not very good) and specialised in Business objects and VBA ... I don't know how to get round the "Unspecified Error" of doom. If anyone does figure out the "Holy grail" of hosting a SDF database on the storage card and reconnecting after a sleep/wake cycle in VB please post your ideas/thoughts/code here!! Hosting in main memory does fix everything BUT my databases are too large to go down this route. Best regards and thanks everyone for you help.

    - Using C# Dll in VC++ Dll Hi Saravanan, Thanks for your prompt response. But I created the C# Dll from VS2005 and as you know there is no way to specify any method with Export keyword same like we do in vc++ .def. So how unmanaged dll can use the methods of managed dll. If I am wrong then correct me. Thanks, Tag: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image Smart Device Development

    - Web Data Service - where is it in VS 2008 beta2? I'm trying to follow the instructions in a getting started document about creating a local data service. I can't seem to find "Web Data Service" in any template under VC# in VS 2008 beta2. I have installed the Entity framework and the Astonia build that came out earlier this week.

    - Text, transparency, focus and backgrounds in gadgets I have been given a background (a png) that is partially transparent all the way across to use in a gadget. I can layer text on it and the text becomes partially transparent too. So white text becomes grey etc. However if I try and get this text or the box that contains it to respond to mouseover events - it just won't. Well it will but only if I click on another arbitrary part of the background first (in the middle near the top - there are no hidden elements in there). Then all the text goes a weird pinkish white, and then it will respond. This seems to be another manifestation of the commonly recurring problems with focus. I want to check is there any reason that text layered on partially transparent background won't respond I mean the whole background is transparent, not just a section of it. I'm happy to post the code, but I've lifted it from another working gadget I created, so I'm fairly certain it isn't the code, besides it's pretty simple to have an element with an onmouseover or onclick event that calls a function and to have that function with a single line of code that responds to it. So in summation - in this gadget of a few lines with a partially transparent background, the onmouseover event on a div won't respond, unless focus is somehow gained first (note self.focus() doesn't help). In a similar gadget with an opaque background with transparent border, onmouseover div responds just fine. Is it just me going insane or is there something I should know about Chris Tag: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image Smart Device Development

    - code signing From my experience, signing a single binary file (DLL, EXE, CAB) should only take a couple of minutes (depending on your internet connection speed). To sign your app (1 CAB containing 4 binary files) takes 5 signing events. The prices for the starter kits can be found here: http://www.verisign.com/products-services/security-services/code-signing/microsoft-smartphone-code-signing/index.html For further information I'd contact Verisign directly.

    - Update parsed RSS data every 25 seconds Look at the function: function callbackfn() { m_feedUrl = url+Math.random().toString(); setTimeout(GetFeed,25000); } url is undefined. That's why from the second time it does not work. The timeout doesn't work for me. setTimeout is never called because there's exception on m_feedUrl = url+Math.random().toString(); Tag: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image Smart Device Development

    - Problem with timeout and Wifi I'm building application which will be working on pocket device and connect to network by Wi-Fi. On cable my app is working well but when I'm connecting using wi-fi really weird things are happening. Firstly I'm using HttpWebRequeste/Response to get some xml (I'm deserializing this file to proper class). And this is the moment when usually time-out or occur (on request.GetResponse) even when I set time out to 10000. I use loop to try couple of times to download this file and this work ... for while. After this operation I'm downloading couple of files (witch another function and completely separated objects - but from the same web location) - and really strange thing occurs. When I'm downloading first file this is not my file but xml file again, and when I’m downloading second file it occurs that this is my first file!!!. I notice that this not happening when time out don't occur. I don't know what to do - I always close all streams and response objects and I try to set KeepAlive on HttpWebRequest to False but this bug always occurs.

    - C# PF Usage OutOfMemory with Build version of Application I have a program that reads AD and writes a table. I was using stringbuilder and completely re-wrote the app using OleDb & Parameters. Eitherway (with StringBuilder or without), when it runs in VS2005, no problem. When I build project (for deployment), the exe immediately runs PF Usage past 2GB, almost before reading the 100th AD record. It occurs when I load the directory entry data to the parameter values. I am not doing any special logic, just straight loading. If I bypass the OleDb update query, than no memory problem. Is there some special compile options I can apply so it runs the same as within VS environment I hope someone has some suggestions, I have spent 3 full days (i mean all day/night) on this. I am using VS2005 SP1 Thanks!!! Tag: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image Smart Device Development

    - Installer application for both smart phones and pocket pc Actually, if you read it, it steps you through the entire process. I just used this link to do it myself a while ago and its how i figured it out. And there is all the code you need to do it on that page you just have to read it. The only code you will need is for the custom installer and perhaps writings the ini, both for the msi. A simple cab has no code behind it, its just a visual studio project type. So if you want to just create a cab that you manually copy over to the device then on the device run the cab, all you need to do is add and configure a smart device cab project. Otherwise, go back and read it and it will tell you exactly how to do everything. Tag: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image Smart Device Development

    - USB Repair error I've got vista a few months ago. A few weeks ago, I bought an MP3 player. I plug it in and see in the autoplay it can also repair. I press repair and do both options (I dunno the english terms). After checking it says something about a Found Folder. I open the MP3 Player, but I don't see a folder, though it does use disk space. 700MB is used by 'something', which I can't find. I can't format it, because that'll erease the software which makes it an MP3 instead of a USB.

    - In-call timer The application is a in-call timer that alerts the user when they go over a certain time while talking on the phone. This is helpful to user if they want to know when they have been in a call for, say, 10 minutes or so. The application runs in the background and automatically starts timing the moment the user is in a new phone call and based on when the user wants to be alerted, it will play either a short tone or vibrate. Question 1. how to get the in-call time. Question 2. how to make phone ring and vibrate through code.

    - Puzzle: TCPClient.connect Yup, I've seen such things, or at least I /thought/ I did, so I'm glad I'm not the only one. Like you I'm having problems knowing when which of the behaviours occurs. I thought a NETCF program I had used failed if given an IP Address, but it seems now to work... Hmm! Anyway. The TcpClient documentation, as you note, says, "The DNS name of ...". However, surely it uses the Dns class internally to find the IP Address for the given hostname, and its documentation says: Dns.GetHostAddresses : "The host name or IP address to resolve.", and "...If hostNameOrAddress is an IP address, this address is returned without querying the DNS server." Dns.GetHostEntry : "The host name or IP address to resolve." Dns.Resolve : "A DNS-style host name or IP address." So, unless TcpClient explicitly checks whether the string is an IP Addresses and blocks then, they will work too. One guess for why the behaviour might change in different environments is if a DNS lookup is done, sending the IP Address as the 'name'. Then the success of the operation would depend on whether a DNS server is configured, accessible, and what it does if it receives such a query. But I'm not really convinced. It might be worth asking the question in a NETCF-specific forum, and see if anyone there has noticed this odd behaviour... Sorry that I couldn't bring more definitive information...

I wonder how to write an application and build it with my BSP image, so that I don't need to execute installation procedure for the application after my BSP image downloaded and boot up.

For example, I like to write a new game application, and I hope to make it appear on the game zone with the orignal two built-in games right after I download my BSP image to my board.

Thanks.

I found the term should be "pre-bundled" in MSDN link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms832368.aspx

So, my question can be corrected as how to integrate a "pre-bundled" application to Windows Mobile OS image

Thanks for any help in this question.

Re: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image

Ilya Tumanov

Article you found states that has to be done at the point of manufacturing. So there's no way for you to add your application to the OS image unless you're an OEM producing devices or have an agreement with such OEM.

Re: Smart Devices General How to pre-integrate an application to BSP image

J-Chen

Yes, I do, I am working for OEM, I can build BSP image.

Do you know how to pre-bundle an application to BSP image

Thanks.
