• Smart Device Development Unable to run compact .net application on some PPC devices

  We are having trouble running .Net applications on an iPAQ rx1955. We have installed Compact .Net ( I thought all Windows Mobiltiy 5.0 devices came with Compact .Net). And when we run a simple Hello World application compiled for either 2003 or 5.0 they do not work. They do nothing. The thiking icon flashes for a few seconds and then nothing else takes place. We have had other people with this problem on other HP devices and never found a solution. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on here Does anyone know what is the percentage of devices with PocketPC 2003 and 5.0 that do not come with Compact .Net as the default. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions USBs, COM ports ...

  How do I get my program to receive a binary file from a external device, analyze (compare) that binary and react to it. Can I get some help (in VB) about the code that I should use. I'd prefer COM ports but USBs would work. I know how the comparing should look like but I don't know how to store that data and get it! Any help You better start by deciding what kind of connection you'll make to the external device. From there, we can give you some help. PS: don't forget about TCP/IP if that's an option... ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005 always deploys framework files

  I am developing an application for SmartPhone 2003 using VS2005. When deploying the application VS always copies the standard framework files (System.dll, etc) to the target application directory even though these are already in the GAC.  The app runs fine on the GAC files if the files in the app directory are deleted.  Any way to stop this download (to save time and space on the target machine, especially if multiple apps are under test) What do You hit build or deploy because if you hit deploy it should only copy the program files and send them to your mobile device but if you hit build it will s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Enabling code analysis is not an option in VS 2005.

  I have visual Studio 2005 installed, and I have read the MSDN article(s) that say how to enable code analysis, but guess what, there IS NO code analysis tab when I go to my project properties. There is nothing anywhere on any tab in project properties that says anything about Code Analysis... so my question is... where the @#$% is it Any help would be fantabulistically cool. Thanks any and all. Hi, Code Analysis is only available in the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite and Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers sku's of Visual Studio.

  Hi All, I am little new to 2005 so this may be an easy one. I have a IS package that I created on my local 32 bit machine. I have copied this package to one of our servers running SQL 2005 EE x64.

• Visual Basic Any way to constrain generics to value types?

  Is there a way that I can constrain a generic type to only accept either integers or doubles  Seems like value types are altogether exluded from participating in generics but I wanted to make sure. Is this right Any reasons that explain this I'd like to write something like: Private Sub Foo(Of T As {Integer, Double})(ByVal Value As T ) Thanks in advance! Hi, what is near is that you can limit it to structures (value types) as follows Public Shared Sub Foo(Of T As {Structure})(ByVal Value As T) End Sub Another thing is that if you just allow Doubles (as you can't have value typ ...Show All

• Visual C# Transferring data from one form to another, is it possible?

  More specifically, I have a form that has as combo boxes on them. When this main form loads, it retrieves data from SQL and I bind these combo's to data tables. However, I manually put an item named <create new customer>. If the user selects that option from the combo, I popup a new form that contains all the customer fields they need to populate. When they click save, what I would like to do is either save the data back to the sql database at that time but at the same time take the values the user entered and transfer it back to corresponding fields in the Main form without making the main form make another call to SQL if at ...Show All
