• Smart Device Development Problem with setup and use a GPRS RasEntry...

  Hi everyone, Does anyone has already played with a PocketPC with GSM cellular I’m with a Eten P300B and I’m having some difficults to create and manage DialUp accounts (RasEntry). When I’m creating an Entry trough the Windows Mobile UI, I have to select the "Cellular Line (GPRS)" device and enter a access point name ("tim.br"). I always used the RasGetEntryProperties and RasSetEntryProperties functions to create and manage RasEntry, but I don’t know how to specify value to fill the "Access Point Name" option. If I create the dialup and call the RasDial() function, it connects without problems, but if I need to c ...Show All

• Windows Forms resize a richtextbox

  How do I resize a RichTextBox control to be as high as its content There appears to be no way to do this . I've seen several "solutions" which all basically revolve around this code: RichTextBox1.Height = RichTextBox1.Font.GetHeight * RichTextBox1.Lines.Length   that is; count the number of lines and times it by the height of the font. Unfortunately, this counts the height of the first font on the rich text control that it encounters, which does NOT solve the problem. Rich Text can contain multiple fonts, multiple font-heights and even embedded graphics (which aren't even counted by the .Lines property!), so the calcul ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to use ws-security in M2M embedded devices?

  We build telemetry applications and we are looking to design a Windows CE M2M gateway. The requirement is to make this remote device connect as a Web Service Client , but it needs to be secure.

• .NET Development P/Invoke SetWindowLong / SetWindowLongPtr

  I'm making a control that P/invokes SetWindowLong. The documentation says one must use SetWindowLong Ptr to make the app compatible with both 32 and 64 bit windows. Is this really true - won't a 32 bit app doing SetWindowLong run on 64 bit windows - or is this rather about keeping the same source natively compilable for both 32-bit and 64-bit execution, to avoid making a 32-bit-only app that must run in compatibility mode on w64 What about the oldest windows that supports .net - win 98 - does it have SetWindowLong Ptr Does the fact that .net apps are managed and my calls are P/Invoked make it possible to use old SetWindowLong and it will ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem connecting to database

  I am running sql server 2005. I had to recover several databases by attaching the mdf and log files. Then I did a local registration. It appeared to work and I can open the tables. However when I try to connect to these databases in another application, it does not see these. It should recognize automatically any sql server 2005 databases. I would really appreciate assistance. I would look and check to make sure that you have enabled the remote connections to the database server. It could also be the permissions inside the database objects, if you have recovered these from a different server you migh ...Show All
