windows-mobile

I would like to create a windows mobile application (6.5) which connect to a webservice via GPRS hosted on my server at home. The webservice was tested successfully using a windows application. Can someone please guide me what should I do because I have no idea of how to proceed. Some code will be very appreciated. thanks If the service is a standard XML or WCF service, then simply right-click on the "References" node in the project's tree and select "Add Web Reference" just like you would with a desktop project. This will create the proxy classes for you which you can then use in your

I made a SmartDevice application that runs on startup and I want it to be hidden at first launch. I've tried this.Hide() , this.Visible = false and ShowWindow(Handle, SW_HIDE) in Form Load() event and InitializeComponent() with no luck. Any help will be appreciated. The CF automatically calls Show on the Form passed to Application.Run. There is no avoiding that without avoiding the call to Application.Run. The SDF has an Application2.Run that takes a parameter to tell it to not show the form. You could do the same by creating your own message pump (though it's not a straightforward thing to do

I would like to create a windows service in .NET that runs on WinMo 6.x.... There r a lot of documentation for how to do that in MFC (and non-MFC) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838599.aspx but I can't find any pointers for .NET stuff, is it even doable? Thanks, I'm pretty sure (not 100%) you can only create a native service DLL (which means no .Net for this). A workaround is to create a console app (or a regular app that does everything from its Main method) and drop it in the /Windows/Startup/ folder. Your app will then be started automatically every time the device is reset.

I'm developing an application that uses a mobile device to take a photo and send it using a webservice. But after I've taken 4 photos I am getting an OutOfMemoryException in the code below. I tried calling GC.Collect() but it didn't help either. Maybe someone here could be give me an advice how to handle this problem. public static Bitmap TakePicture() { var dialog = new CameraCaptureDialog { Resolution = new Size(1600, 1200), StillQuality = CameraCaptureStillQuality.Default }; dialog.ShowDialog(); // If the filename is empty the user took no picture if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(dialog.FileName))

I have some code that needs to be able to find the version number of an assembly, given a string saying where it's located. I can't get this to work: Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\\v3.5\\sqlcecompact35.dll"); throws a System.IO.IOException: File or assembly name '\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\sqlcecompact35.dll', or one of its dependencies, was not found. Yet the file does exist: FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo("\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\\v3.5\\sqlcecompact35.dll"); creates an

I'm developing a Windows Mobile app using the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and VS2008, and for debugging using the Device Emulator V3, on Win7, and seem to have constant problems with Windows Mobile Device Centre (6.1) connecting. Using the Emulator Manager (9.0.21022.8) I cradle the device using DMA in WMDC. The problem is it's so flaky at actually connecting that it's becoming a pain. I find that when I turn my computer on, before I can get it to connect I have to open up WMDC, disable Connect over DMA, close WMDC down, reopen it again, and then it might cradle. Often I have to do this twice
