I'm trying to save and load images with SQLite with an app on WinForm with CF. I found a way to save an image into the db but I don't know if it's right because I couldn't find a way to load the image stored in the db. I have a code to convert my image into a Base64: public void ImageToBase64(Image image, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat format){ using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()){ // Convert Image to byte[] image.Save(ms, format); byte[] imageBytes = ms.ToArray(); // Convert byte[] to Base64 String string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes); SaveImage(base64String);

I have tried using Readline() and data gets dropped, I tried using Read() but I am not sure how to have an error proof method of doing it, since I may get several packets one after another and I have no way of knowing that there is going to be another packet coming in. In between packets BytesToRead is 0, so I can't use it. When reading data to the buffer to you have a timer or put the thread to sleep to allow for all the packets to arrive? I am lost. Don't know what to try next. I should mention that I get no guarantee that the string coming off the serial port will be ended with \n or \r or

Possible Duplicate: Get all IP-Hosts in Lan from mobile device How can I get programmaticaly all the hosts in a wireless network? I know the wlan I'm working in and I am connected to it. Now I want to show a list of the hosts (or at least their IP-Addresses). How can I accomplish this, and are there special points if I work on windows mobile with compact framework and want to do that? There are lots of ways.

I would like to install a specific font on my program load and use that font in rendering text of the program. How can I programmatically install a font from .NET CF on WinCE 6. This blog entry shows how to enumerate and add Fonts in Windows CE using native code. For managed code, this will work: internal class FontHelper { private delegate int EnumFontFamProc(IntPtr lpelf, IntPtr lpntm, uint FontType, IntPtr lParam); private List<string> m_fonts = new List<string>(); public FontHelper() { RefreshFontList(); } public void RefreshFontList() { m_fonts.Clear(); var dc = GetDC(IntPtr.Zero); var d

I need to broadcast an event that can be picked up by any application running on a Windows CE 5 device. Haven't done this before so i'd be interested in knowing what techniques people would suggest to see if there is anything i've not considered. All of the applications that need to receive this event are .NET Compact Framework based so "managed-only" solutions can be considered. I swear I've answered this somewhere - here, newsgroups, blog, something - but I can't find it, so here it is again: You really have 4 options for IPC under Windows CE. I'll focus on CF solutions here. Use a socket.
