• Windows Live Developer Forums Connection problems in game/app

  Hi I've been testing my game since it got approved and I've found that I cannot play with my contacts. My game is hosted in my own web server running in the same subnet as the computer from where I'm connected. I could play with my contacts using msgrp2p.xml file, but from the page it never calls the Channel_OnRemoteAppLoaded function. I think it has something to do with connectio speed to the server, since I can get faster from here to it. I've tried to delay the Initialize function call 1 or 2 seconds when the user comes from the subnet but it doesn't work. Any idea Thanks L I've got it. It was a prob ...Show All

  Hello, I need to get the IMEI (or serial number) of a smartphone in order to use it for security matter. I don't need to make phone calls or whatever but I want to compare it with a number written in my application. Do you have any clue for this Regards, Agnes I'll give it a try... I've done some testing on this (without success) on a "Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC Phone Edition" machine (Symbol MC9062) using TAPI. The logic behind my test was that everything that was supposed to work with the Phone hardware was supposed to be supported by TAPI or exTAPI (or at least by RIL).

My query includes:   * 8 variables, 3 from the SP parms and 5 locally defined   * a .NET UDT I have a fairly simple schema: 9 tables of which four are accessed in the query. When I call the SP, it takes ~16s to execute. However, if I replace the parms with static values, it takes ~0.1s! What's going on Please help. Rod O.
