  How can I get the free space on storage card in PC by ActiveSync The Remote API provided by ActiveSync doesn't seems have a API can get that, but the main storage and memory information can be retrieved by Remote API. And how can I get the path of the storage card The CeGetSpecialFolderPath doesn't support the storage card path. Thanks!!! Hi, You can write a module to find the free space in the storage card. For this use the FindFirstFlashCard and FindNextFLashCard API and find for the "Storage Card" and add all the files sizes under it to get the used space and use the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx to find the free disk ...Show All

• .NET Development SSLStream.AuthenticateAsClient not working without server certificate name

  Hi, I am trying to develope a TLS based server-client application. The client side sslstream has to be authenticated with AuthenticateAsClient with the server certificate name as input.

• .NET Development SqlConnection.Close(), why can't it be called from a Finalizer?

  I've just written a class to handle connections to a SQL database. I'm suprised to discover that I can't close the connection from within the Finalizer of the class (I get an InvalidOperation exception). Why is this Is it just because the SqlConnection object handles the closing of the connection from within its Finalizer or something like that Why do you want to call it from a finalizer Your connection to the DB should be as short as possible, and since you do not know when the finalizer is called, you are not able to keep your connection as short as possible. This is what MSDN says about cal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Progress bar

  Ok. how do you gte a progress bar to work beacuse i'm clueless. Well, which bit are you stuck with The most common reason that people ask this is because they are trying to show progress on an atomic operation ( that is, they call a method and expect a progress bar to move while that method runs, that won't happen ), or because they don't see anything on the progress bar, because their processor is taken up by the operation ( call Application.DoEvents() within your method to fix this ). If this doesn't answer your question, please provide some more detail and the code you've already written, and I'll be happy to help further. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development winforms inheritance

  hi, I have read about possibility of inheriting winforms with the compactframework 2.0, but I have tried it and I have not found the way of doing it. Is it possible Thanks Antonio de Rojas What have you tried 1. Create a new SDP 2. To the default form1 add a button 3. Add a new form (form2) 4. Delete the mainmenu from form2 5. Go to the code and change Form2 so it does not inherit from Form and instead inherits from Form1 6. Rebuild the solution 7. Open form2 in the designer and observe how it shows button1 The above was successful for me (in C#) but I have not done any further experiments. If you hav ...Show All

Thanks, Skip skip@skip-coombe.com Yes. The in the project settings use the field "Additional Dependencies" in the "Input" section under the linker options. But I like this #pragma. I never use absolute pathes, but this trick allows my source to say what libraries it needs. I use this very often when special WinAPI libs are used (version.lib etc.). ...Show All
