I have a .net cf 3.5 Windows Mobile application that my client wants to have autoupdate features. Here is what I have so far: create a CAB using the Smart Device CAB Project (is this good enough, or should I be doing something else here) 2.Get the application version number Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(); Call a WCF web service for to do a version number look up. Download a new version of the cab file. ??? Execute WCELoad.exe on the CAB file Profit Your solution is generally correct, but has a few problems. You can't update yourself. You have to shut down and have

I'm writing a C# application for a proprietary Windows CE 4.2 device (for which I don't have the specs or pretty much any other information. I've got access to the file system, and that is basically it.) I also can't get support from the original manufacturer. Now, I can install the .NET Compact framework just fine, and everything works for a while. But every once in a while, when the device is reset, it deletes the framework, the GAC, everything related to it. I know it's not just a hard reset jumping back to factory defaults because: It remembers the registry settings (If I try to install

Based on the info from this MS link , I've got the following code in a Windows CE / Compact Framework app which calls a REST method in a Web API server app: public static string SendXMLFile2(string uri, string data) { //TODO: Remove below after testing String s = data.Substring(0, 128); MessageBox.Show(String.Format("data length is {0}, uri is {1}, first part is {2}", data.Length, uri, s)); //TODO: Remove above after testing HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri); myHttpWebRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering=false; myHttpWebRequest.Method="POST"; UTF8Encoding

I'm running into issues getting C# (VS2008, Compact Framework, .NET is version 3.5 SP1) to successfully deserialize nested structs. The problem only appears in CF when I'm running on the emulator for the mobile device (I'm using the "Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition" emulator), the exact same code running on my Windows box does not have the same problem. Here's my code: public struct Fred { public string Name; } public struct Middle { public Fred[] Freds; } public struct Top { public Middle Middle; public Fred[] Freds; } public static void Test() { Top top = new Top(); top.Middle.Freds = new Fred

I have a web service which i need to access through https. We have a workbout pro 4 with win ce 6.0 running on it. When we were developing our app we had tested it through http. wihtout any problem. When we went live and needed access to https based server we have received the error stated on subject field under VS 2008 Smart Device Project. On the device we receive an error "could not display..." . We have tried to import the standard certificate issued by global si. We still have no success accessing the web service. We can acces the web service on phone, tablet, pc but not with Pro 4:). It

FileSystemInfo.LastWriteTime property is readonly in CF. Is there an alternative way to change that date? P/Invoke SetFileTime . EDIT Something along these lines (warning: untested) [DllImport("coredll.dll")] private static extern bool SetFileTime(string path, ref long creationTime, ref long lastAccessTime, ref long lastWriteTime); public void SetFileTimes(string path, DateTime time) { var ft = time.ToFileTime(); SetFileTime(path, ref ft, ref ft, ref ft); } AlainD Here is a fuller implementation, adapted from the answer ctacke provides above and this StackOverflow question . I hope this proves
