• Smart Device Development Newbie :: Urgent Question

  I'm totally new in Visual Studio. Currently, I'm trying to install free sample code from msdn, it's Northwind Pocket Inventory - Logistics for Windows Mobile 2003-Based Pocket PC. After I set all the db and other, finally I can run the program in an IPaq except the web service one. I'm rather confused why the web service doesn't work, because I've tried to run it in desktop and it goes well. Is IPaq doesn't support web service or maybe there is another reason about that I really hope someone could give me some solutions. The second thing to ask is that the same program I tried in emulator but it doesn't work at all, the message is something& ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Duplicate Property Definitions That Return Different Data Types

  Hello All, I am having a bit of trouble here and am hoping that someone may know the answer to fixing my problem. I have created a class library and organized its members into an object model. Every class has a Parent Property. This property points to the class or collection that owns the given class. An example would be a class called DBTable which is part of the DBTables collection, therefore DBTable's Parent is DBTables. In most cases there can be only one parent, but there are cases where a class or collection can have a different Parent object because some classes share common elements. An example would be the Columns Collection. A T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unshelve confusion over "no pending revisions"

  OK I understand what happens during shelving but I'm not so sure I completely understand unshelving.  The docs for "Working with Source Control Shelvesets" say this about unshelving: "restores each shelved revision into the destination workspace as a pending change as long as the revision does not conflict with a change that was already pending in the workspace." and "To unshelve an item, there must be no pending revisions against it in the destination workspace." I'm still a little fuzzy on what is meant by "does not conflict" and "no pending revisions"   Is that a case of poor wording e.g. change "no pending revisisions" to ...Show All

  I have a pocket pc (CF 1.1) application that send data to a server using webservices. I need to know how many MB's are send from my app to that server. Can anyone help me Thanks! what kind of data are you sending to the webservice You can use a network packet sniffer (e.g. ethereal) to determine the packet size that is being sent across the wire. Alternatively you could write a library in C++ to obtain this information from NDIS and then P/Invoke to this library from your managed application.
