• Smart Device Development Connect to ActiveSync using Wireless Network

  Using ActiveSync 3.8 I was able to easily connect over ActiveSync to my PC using my wireless network.  Since installing ActiveSync 4.0 I can not get this to work and I cannot find any documentation on how to set this up. My wireless connection is shown as connect if I goto Settings | Connections | Connections | Advanced | Network Card. How do I use my wireless network to connect to my PC using ActiveSync 4.0 Alicia Can someone point me towards good instructions on enabling AS over the lan in 3.8 A am new to Mobile OS and spent quite some time trying to figure it out with no livk. Thank you ...Show All

• Smart Device Development OnClosing / WM_CLOSE message when switching apps (why?)

  I have an application that uses multiple forms for data entry.  Each for is modeless and is shown via show/hide.  All of these forms are stored in an array list until the user requests them and they are shown. When the user switches applications (ie: starts notepad) on the pocket pc, the window (which is visible), has the OnClosing event occur (which I assume is triggered by a WM_CLOSE message). Why is this happening   I've dealt with this issue by overriding and cancelling the OnClose, however... It still begs the question...

• Visual Studio Team System Subscribing to project alerts; setting userid + password

  BisSubscribe.exe allows you to subscribe to project alerts and has a parameter (/userID) for setting the domain and user name. I presume this domain and user name is used for logging onto the Mail Server specified during the setup of TFS. Unfortunately, my Mail Server (SMTP) requires a password as well as user name to authenticate me before accepting any emails for transmission. This is a common requirement for anyone working in a small team environment where the administration of their mail server has been shifted to a third party. Is there a parameter for BisSubscribe that allows the user password to be set I ...Show All

• Windows Forms listbox selected index background color

  How can i change the listbox selected index font and background color. You need to create a derived class from ListBox (technically you don't have to but it would be best).  In the constructor for your class set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed to tell Windows that you'll handle the painting.  Implement OnDrawItem as follows: protected override void OnDrawItem ( DrawItemEventArgs e ) {             bool bIsSelected = (e.State & DrawItemState.Selected) == DrawItemState.Selected;             //Draw the background ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Some Controls

  I'm developing an application which gathers data through a web service, this data is stored on a database and therefor each use must be able to modify certain aspects of it. The textbox control in .NETCF2.0 supports multiple lines, however spacing is another issue. If i were to publish data to the database using this mobile application (WINCE50), instead of the line breaks i get squares, however if i were to publish the same data through the web interface; the line breaks would properly appear. Could the control be messing this up, or is the web service not interpreting this correctly Image here: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/759 ...Show All
