How can I avoid that a user starts the same program twice? The current implementation tries to do that using "FindWindow", but since it takes some time before the program opens the first window, users regulary manage to start the program twice, causing errors etc. You have to use a named mutex so it can be used across processes. For whatever (stupid) reason, the CF designers figured CF developers would never need such a thing, so you have 2 options: P/Invoke CreateMutex and the associated clean up stuff Use an already written implementation like the SDF's NamedMutex class (which simply does #1

My company is looking into using automated GUI testing for our current app before proceeding to alpha. Our current main focus is robustness testing, one way we want to achieve this is automated UI testing that can be repeated over several hours/days. For our desktop version we've decided on AutomationElement, and I've seen several free open source frameworks. For .NET CF the options seem more limited. I found M-eux Test , but the license fee is a little bit steep. I also found Test Complete 7 , which I am planning on looking into. The tests will be written by programmers. Support for being

I've been experimenting with Rhino Mocks for unit testing my .Net Compact Framework application, and have hit a problem. I can get a basic unit test using Rhino Mocks built, but every time I run the test that has the Rhino Mocks code in it, the test fails because it can't find the Rhino Mocks assembly. System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Rhino.Mocks.MockRepository' from assembly 'Rhino.Mocks... I've copied the rhino mocks dll to various places on the device (my app folder, and the SmartDeviceTest folder that gets created) but it still can't seem to find it. Has anyone used rhino

I am developing a .NET CF based Graphics Application, my project involves a lot of drawing images, We have decided to go for porting the application on different handset resolution.(240 X 240 , 480 X 640) etc. How would i go onto achieve this within single solution/project? Is there a need to create different projects based on resolutions? How would i handle common files? and i need the changes in one of the common classes to occur across all devices. Thank you, Cronos Don't listen to that idiot MusiGenesis. A much better way of handling different screen resolutions for Windows Mobile devices

Combobox datasource has been assigned with cmbCombobox.DataSource = myCollection where myCollection has type MyCollection: List How can I clear items in combobox? When you data bind a control, it will synchronize with that collection. In order to clear the items in your ComboBox set it's DataSource to null. cmbComboBox.DataSource = null; If your combobox is not databound (no DataSource) then you can do cmbComboBox.Items.Clear(); Andrew http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327895 Me.ListBox1.DataSource = Nothing This works for me. VB incorrectly advises the use of DBNull (which crashes). Here is how

I'm working in Windows Mobile 6 and would like to have client authentication when talking to a Apache webserver. I have a certificate in my local certificate store and it should be rather straightforward: X509Store myStore = new X509Store("MY", StoreLocation.CurrentUser); myStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly); X509Certificate2Collection certificates = myStore.Certificates; X509Certificate2 clientcertificate; foreach (X509Certificate 2certificate in certificates) { clientcertificate = certificate; //omitted code to validate certificate } HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(webPage
