• William Vaughn Program Size / Memory Issues

  In trying to convert our software from eVC4 to VS2005, I have noticed that the size of the compiled code is larger for VS2005 compiled for WM5.0 Our software was close to not having enough application memory on a 2003 device and now I'm wondering if converting it to 2005 has pushed it over. Here are the current program sizes: Release version for 2003 : 4015 KB Dubug version for 2003 : 7886 KB Release version for 2005 : 5267 KB Debug ve ...Show All

• Srini A Graphics application slow after converting from 2.0 to 1.0

  We are working on a graphics application. We simply create a form (maximazed) and OnPaint we draw to an ofcreen buffer and OnPaintBackground we draw the ofscreen buffer to screen. We run a timer that ever 44(millis on our case) calls an update rutine which calls Refresh() at the end. This was working great with Compact .Net 2.0 the frame rate was no problem.

• Lewis Christie WaitHandle (IDisposable)

  This is more a question out of interest than an issue really. In the full framework and in CF 2.0 the WaitHandle hierarchy implements IDisposable but in CF 1.0 they did not. Was WaitHandles implemented different in the old Compact Framework You are right that in CF 1.0 the WaitHandle class did not implement IDisposable, but in 2.0 (to maintain compatibility to the desktop behavior) of this class we decided to ...Show All

• Aksi- Form.Close does not close form, instead changes from modal to modeless

  When I call Form.Close for a modal dialog, it changes the dialog to modeless and does not close the form (until I call Close again).

I've tried WinCE 4.1 and 4.2 images on the emulator with the same problem. The real device (which works) is running 4.2. If you want to close a modal ...Show All
